Ru Ji suddenly regretted that she left too early. It's just that at this time, it's not convenient to go back and listen to the inside story. What's more, there are two Ruyan Rushu beside him, and it is really time to go back to the house, so he has to get into the car slowly, and his eyes are still looking in the direction of Yan Xiao and the others.

At this time, Chen Hao suddenly turned his head, just meeting his eyes with Ruxi.

The evening lanterns may be the softest light, although they only glanced at each other from a distance, Ru Xi felt that Chen Hao seemed to be handsome to a new height at this moment, and at the same time, his heart was inexplicably fixed, as if something was quieting down warmly. Believing that he had seen her gaze too, she curled her lips and lowered her head into the car.

Ruyan and Rushu were already waiting in the carriage, because this time was different from the past, and neither of them spoke to Ruyan's delay and waiting. Instead, one leaned against the wall of the car and was distracted, and the other lowered his head and wrung his handkerchief, as if each was thinking about their own separate thoughts.

All the way from Shijia to Pujia, the journey is about half an hour shorter, which is not long or short. Ru Ji thought about what she saw and heard in the Shi family today, and felt that it seemed that her surroundings were a little too quiet. looked up at Ruyan and Rushu, Ruyan is arrogant and rarely talks as usual, but Rushu's peace at the moment is a little unusual.

Ru Xi quietly looked Rushu up and down again, light pink tops, tender yellow long skirts, all of which were new scattered satin, vaguely familiar, should be the new autumn clothes made before. And the double bun on her head is also decorated with pink ribbons and some smoky quartz beads, although it is not a precious bead, it is also fresh and lovely, which is very commensurate with her age when she is not yet twelve years old.

Speaking of this age, it should still be a carefree and uninformed age, but Rushu's current daze doesn't seem to be like that.

Ru Xi looked at Ru Shu's tender yellow skirt, and suddenly her heart moved, remembering the moonlight gown he wore when she met Shi Renlang. Could it be that at the flower party, who did Rushu think about? After all, in her previous life, Rushu was very interested in the scumbags in the Shi family.

However, Rushu thought about it and thought about it, and couldn't remember that at this time in the previous two lives, Rushu, who was still so young, had any male and female moths. After all, the butterfly effect since his rebirth has turned the Pu family upside down, and it is really difficult to say what the fate of Ruyan Rushu will be in this life.

All the way back to Pu's house without incident, everyone went back to their rooms. Chaolu didn't feel surprised when she saw that Ru Xi had brought a new maid Xia Yue back, but said to Ru Xi with a smile: "Now that Xia Yue is coming, the slave and maid will return to the Bofu after sorting out the accounts, and they will be relieved." ”

Chaolu came over to help these days, and she has already gotten along with Ru Ji with some affection. It's just that she is the first good account manager by the side of Yan San Lady Lin Chengyue, and she also has a lot of face in Huanningbo's Mansion, so it is impossible not to return to Bo's Mansion. Although Ruji was a little reluctant to do this, she was very clear in her heart. At this time, listening to the sincere joy in Chaolu's words, I was also a little moved: "Sister Chaolu has worked hard these days to worry about me, and when my sister returns to Bofu, I will definitely send her off." ”

"This is a slave's business, the cousin is too polite." Chaolu smiled and bowed, politeness is always modest and thoughtful, good etiquette. After saying that, seeing that Ruji seemed to be a little speechless, he took the initiative to ask, "What happened in General Shi's mansion today?" If the cousin has an order, please speak up. ”

Ru Ji hesitated for a moment, and finally told Chaolu about the arrest of Jingzhao Yamen and Shi Zhonglang's being sent to Yamen but returning safely. Of course, there was no mention of whether Yan Xiao had any suspicion or disappointment in exculpating Shi Zhonglang, but just took out a somewhat innocent expression and asked Chaolu: "Sister Chaolu, in the end, it is also a case of two lives, so forget it?" ”

Chao Lu sighed lightly when she heard this: "How can a person as transparent as my cousin girl get into this matter?" General Shi's mansion is actually only General Shi's three-room friend. In fact, the eldest young master of the original Shi family's room was also promising, and even discussed with the uncle, but unfortunately died young, and now the second young master is more pampered. ”

Pampered?

Ru Ji couldn't help but sneer: "Where is it just pampered, isn't there still two lives in the matter that came out this time?" Although it is said that it is a common person who has no official position, is it not the life of the common people? ”

Chaolu was stunned, looked at Ruxi again, and lowered her gaze: "Cousin, human life is really different." Although the lives of ordinary people outside are also lives, sometimes this justice is difficult to say. Listening to you talk about this incident, the officers of the Jingzhao Yamen chased the thief into General Shi's mansion, and also arrested the people around the second young master of the Shi family by name. Then this thing is at this level. No matter how much people get the stolen goods, as long as the little guy next to the second young master Shi insists that it was done by himself, and is not instructed by the master's family, then even if the matter is troubled to the criminal department and Dali Temple, it can be regarded as the Shi family's discipline is not strict, and it will bring some reputation and punish General Shi for some money. As for the big crimes of killing the head to pay for one's life, or exile, in the end, it is still up to the subordinates to bear. This is also fate. ”

Ru Xi saw that Chaolu's expression was somewhat sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox, and she thought that she also felt the same way as a servant and maid. Thinking about the truth that Chaolu said, in fact, in modern justice, such a thing is afraid that it will have a similar effect.

Bosses or rich people instigate crimes or buy. Murder, after something happens, call someone to replace it. It is difficult to get empirical evidence in the process of instigation, as long as the person who confesses the crime bites to death and does not retract his confession, the matter can only be concluded at that step.

But on the other hand, Jingzhao Yamen has tried its best to trace the mastermind behind this matter, that is, Shi Zhonglang cannot be brought to justice this time, according to the common rule of [a person who dies once does not die will continue to die], Shi Zhonglang will definitely do it again, and I think there will still be a chance for him to die as he wishes in the future.

Thinking of this, Ruji's mood is a little lighter, and fighting monsters is often not a one-time clearance, and if it doesn't work once, there will be a next time. Based on the messy things he remembered in Shi Zhonglang's previous life, this big official of the West Gate of the Dasheng Dynasty would never want to be so carefree again.

"By the way, Sister Chaolu," Ru Xi thought of another gossip matter, "Chen Hao and Chen Zhutou of Jingzhao Yamen, are you very familiar with Bofu?" "Seeing that Chaolu is also quite familiar with the affairs of the Shi family, this personal maid of Mrs. Yan San must know a lot of inside information.

"Chen Zhutou," Chaolu hesitated, but didn't disappoint Ruji, "Sort of." ”

The next story told made Ruxi enter .jpg stunned mode.

It turned out that Chen Hao's father, Chen Ji, was also a junior colonel in the Chenzhou Army back then, and he was General Shi Ben's comrade when he was still a lieutenant of Liupin. But when he was very young, he died on the battlefield in Chenzhou, leaving only the poor family with four walls and no other relatives, Su Sanniang, and Chen Hao, who was only two years old at the time.

General Shi Ben and Chen Ji's military rank was not much different at that time, and they had a good friendship on weekdays, and when Chen Ji died in battle, he also blocked two more arrows for General Shi Ben. Therefore, after this, General Shi Ben, who had already married and settled down in Chenzhou, took Su Sanniang and Chen Hao into his house and was taken care of by Mrs. Shi.

Two or three years later, Mrs. Shi died of illness, and General Shi Ben asked someone to send Su Sanniang and the young Chen Hao to the old mansion in Beijing to take care of them. Perhaps it is because of the fear that since Mrs. Shi has passed away, there are relatively many widows and widows, which is inconvenient, and it also means to avoid suspicion.

At that time, Ruxi's grandfather Yan Xingyuan and second uncle Yan Che were still fighting in Chenzhou, and the third uncle Yan Heng was Conglong's guard, and his friendship with the Shi family was not very deep, and he didn't have much contact, so his inside information was limited. Later, when the war in Chenzhou was over, General Shi Ben returned to Beijing for meritorious service, and Su Sanniang had already left the Shi family with Chen Hao.

The reason for this, Mo said that the Yan family did not know, and it seemed that General Shi Ben himself was not very clear. What Chaolu heard beside Mrs. Yan San was that she knew that Su Sanniang had a very hard life after leaving the Shi family with Chen Hao, and she refused to accept General Shi Ben's later help.

Until the past two years, Chen Hao has done a very good job in the Jingzhao Yamen, and Yan Xiao sometimes asks him to do some things, probably both public and private. The official affairs are not clear, but the private affairs are about secretly chasing and intercepting Yan Rong, and Chen Hao is doing it very beautifully. Not only Chaolu heard about it, but Ruji, a witness who witnessed it, also knew it very well.

After listening to these many past events, many of the doubts before Ru Ji finally understood, including Chen Hao's reaction when Chen Run mentioned the Shi family last time, as well as Master Shi's sudden expression, and even Shi Zhonglang's resentful face in front of the gate of the Shi family.

At the same time, she also understood why Ru Ji in the previous two lives had no special impression of Chen Hao and Su Sanniang. Su Sanniang rejected General Shi Ben so thoroughly, naturally she would not step into the Shi family half a step again. As for Chen Hao, in addition to coming to arrest people, he probably doesn't want to have anything to do with the Shi family.

After Chaolu retired for a long time, Ru Ji, who was lying on the bed, still had some sleeplessness, thinking about the past of these generals Shi Ben and Chen Hao's mother and son.

The last time I heard General Shi Ben's voice in Baifu Lane, it was really sincere. It's just that General Shi Ben's eloquence is really urgent, and he repeatedly asked Su Sanniang to open the door, and he didn't say anything.

Now that I think about it, Ruji is even more curious. When did this relationship begin? Is it before or after Su Sanniang returns to Beijing?

If it was before that, why did General Shi Ben send Su Sanniang and Chen Hao back, wouldn't it be over if they got married directly in Chenzhou? I heard that the folk customs of the border cities are more open.

If it is later, it seems that General Shi Ben and Su San Niangzi will not have any new opportunities to meet. Or is this matter General Shi Ben's unrequited love, and Su Sanniang is not willing?
