Chapter 376: Cherish It
In the end, Shen Lanying chose to cooperate.
After being smeared with a bunch of weird-colored ointments, Shen Lanying looked at the cult equipment again, and had already received a reply from Lucy:
I want to think about it, there is only such a chance for your boyfriend to take care of you, sweetheart, you should cherish it!
The corners of Shen Lanying's mouth twitched, and she replied "Thank you", hiding her face and lamenting her bitter fate for a while, and then resigned herself to go back and continue to give Sikong Yan a hand.
In fact, her work efficiency is not high, she can see that Sikong Yan doesn't expect her to help much, just wants her to stay around.
"Why are there so many eunuchs on our side recently?" As soon as Shen Lanying entered the room, she asked curiously.
On the way here just now, she met two eunuchs walking together, both of whom were stewards of high status in the palace, so Shen Lanying was forced to stop and greet the two, and then passed by Jiang Xu's house, she originally wanted to go faster and leave the door of the perverted prince quickly, but Jiang Xu opened the door at this time, and a eunuch walked out of the house.
How come there are eunuchs everywhere?
Shen Lanying didn't dare to look directly at Jiang Xu, so she greeted the eunuch directly. In fact, Shen Lanying didn't recognize this eunuch, but she just felt that Jiang Xu took the initiative to befriend him, so he must not be an ordinary eunuch.
Shen Lanying said hello to the eunuch, Jiang Xu suddenly walked up to her, put his hand on her shoulder intimately, and said with a smile, "Sister Huang, isn't Mr. waiting for you, don't waste time here, go over quickly." ”
To tell the truth, one sentence made Shen Lanying's heart tremble. Because she couldn't figure out what the little prince was going to do.
Shen Lanying smiled warmly at Jiang Xu, and then said, "Okay, then the imperial sister will go first." After saying that, he turned around and left, not daring to stop for a moment.
Shen Lanying returned to Sikong Yan's house as fast as she could, and couldn't wait to inquire about the situation.
Hearing Shen Lanying mention the eunuchs around her, Sikong Yan also looked quite helpless, "There were two people who sent winter clothes over before. Later, two more messengers came. They were going to play in Qingzhou for a while, so I found someone to accompany them. ”
Tsk, it sounds so miserable, I actually have to accompany the eunuch to play with public funds.
At this time, Shen Lanying would never have imagined that an hour later, she would also be found by a special species.
Sikong Yan said, "Oh, that's right. The emperor also sent you two maids and two eunuchs. ”
“……”
Could there be more chaos around her?
In the afternoon, Zhou Zai came to find Sikong Yan.
Zhou Zai seemed to see that the leader of this usurper team was Sikong Yan. So Jiang Xu was not notified.
Fengshuang came over and told Sikong Yan that Zhou Zai was coming to him, Sikong Yan nodded slightly, and his calm and relaxed appearance seemed to be expected. He asked Feng Shuang to invite Zhou Zai directly into the house, and then beckoned to Shen Lanying and asked her to come over.
Shen Lanying glanced at the mess on the table, removed a blanket and covered it, and then followed Sikong Yan to the outer hall.
The two new maids had already prepared tea and fruit in the outhouse, and quietly withdrew.
Shen Lanyingyu's impression of Qingzhou Zhouzai was still stuck when they had dinner with Zhou Zai a few days ago, when Zhou Zai's face was red, and he unceremoniously called the Fengchen woman to have fun with everyone.
However, when she saw Zhou Zai today, Shen Lanying was surprised to find that this Zhou Zai was dressed very formally, and his bearing was also in line with that of a serious official, which could not be associated with the image of a few days ago.
After Zhou Zai saw Shen Lanying, he came up with a long list of half-literary apologies, saying that he had poor governance and that there were loopholes in supervision, which caused Wu Yi to find Princess Zhaoying, and finally asked Shen Lanying how she was.
Shen Lanying said truthfully, "The doctor said that it is not a big deal, and it will be fine to rest for half a month." ”
With Shen Lanying's smile, Zhou Zai's hanging heart fell a little, if Princess Zhaoying and the five princes were not to blame, at least the saint would not commit a serious crime.
After a few polite words, Zhou Zai said, "Now that Qingzhou City is still sealed, I have asked the sergeant to search the city thoroughly, but I only found the inn where the Japanese stayed overnight." The innkeeper had already seen that he had been locked up, but he had not caught the living ones. ”
Sikong Yan smiled slightly, "This is normal, as long as they are modified, they are not much different from the people of the Central Plains." Moreover, the lockdown order was not issued in time that day, and the Japanese had already run out. ”
Zhou Zai nodded again and again, looking submissive. "This morning, many merchants went on strike. Ask for the city gates to be opened. But the Japanese have not yet been caught...... Sir, look at this ......."
Sikong Yan said decisively, "Let's unblock, the needs of the people's lives come first." ”
The state should be repeatedly. He ambushed the prince and princess in the area where he served, and he was bound to be unlucky. However, in the current situation, if the pass is opened, the Japanese will be released, but if the city continues to be closed, not only will the Japanese not be caught, but also the people's resentment will be aroused. This situation is for Zhou Zai, stretching out his head is a knife and shrinking his head is also a knife, he has no choice but to lick his face to find Sikong Yan. As long as he does what Sikong Yan said, at least the emperor will not blame him additionally.
Objectively speaking, this approach is quite shameless, using the princess's horse to block and rob yourself.
Sikong Yan didn't care about Zhou Zai's approach, but said calmly, "It's not the fault of adults that Uyi infiltrated the Central Plains. Zhangzhou and Binzhou are in the eastern part of Qingzhou, and they also did not find the Wayi transit. It can be seen that these people do have outstanding features. ”
The implication is that the law does not blame the public.
The governor breathed a sigh of relief.
Sikong Yan said again, "That day, General Luo and General Dongfang notified the pass as soon as possible and proposed to close the city. It was the defenders who did not trust them, missed the time to close the city, and let the Japanese go. Therefore, the blame should lie with the generals guarding the pass. ”
After the two northern generals delivered the news to the pass that day, the defenders did not believe the soldiers who were passing the word at all. They said that the lockdown is a major event, and it can only be done with the documents of Zhou Zai.
But the problem is that it is an abnormal time, and the defenders have long been notified by the imperial court to enter a state of alert. At this time, they still admit that they are dead, and the emperor has every reason to punish them.
Zhou Zai understood that the matter was in his jurisdiction, and he could not escape the blame, but after listening to Sikong Yan's words, his hanging heart finally fell back into his chest. Sikong Yan made it very clear that the governor was not directly responsible. Therefore, even if the conviction is made, the culpability will not be too heavy.
As long as he writes a letter to resign from the official position, and by the way, he joins the generals of the defending army, and it is said that he can save his life.
Just when Zhou Zai was preparing for the worst in his heart, Sikong Yan smiled at him, "Your Excellency, don't worry, I have already written to the Holy Lord, explaining in detail about this incident, telling him that this incident has nothing to do with the Adult, and the Holy Lord's rewards and punishments are clear, and he will never blame the Lord." ”
