Shu Heng has been in Jiangbei for more than three months, and in the past three months, those mountain bandits have been killed and captured by the army led by Shu Heng, and they have almost been cleaned up, and the only thing left is to clean up these local officials.

At this time, Pingliang Zhizhou was cautiously looking at Shu Heng who was sitting at the top, and his heart was beating a drum, after this Hou Ye came to Jiangbei, he directly asked people to lock up these officials in a small courtyard, and they were not released until recently, at first it was not that no one protested, but people ignored you at all, gave you food and drink, just didn't talk to you, and finally those protesting voices gradually disappeared, and now they were finally released, they naturally wanted to seize the opportunity to set up a banquet to please this high-ranking official from Beijing, after all, the mountain bandits, None of the local officials were involved.

Pingliang Zhizhou glanced at a dancing girl, this dancing girl is a prostitute he has been raising in the house all the year round, with bright appearance, specially used to dedicate to high-ranking officials, the dancing girl got the order, and her heart was also very happy, I heard that this is a high-ranking official from the capital, and he looks handsome, if he can get into his eyes, she will not worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life.

The dancing girl twisted her thin waist and approached Shu Heng in the most charming manner, but after only a few steps, Shu Heng looked up at her coldly: "Get out." ”

Wuji's face turned pale, she felt that she saw the killing intent in Shu Heng's eyes, she forcibly endured the fear in her heart, tried to show a smile, and took a few steps towards Shu Heng: "Lord Zhizhou asked the slave to serve the Hou Ye, the slave ......"

Before Wu Ji's words were finished, Shu Heng stood up with his sleeves brushed up, stared at the people present for a long time, and stared at the people present until he broke out in a cold sweat, before raising the corners of his mouth and said: "You adults don't have to be in a hurry to please me now, and you don't have to be afraid, because none of the people present can escape, since you dared to accept people's money and disregard the lives of the people, now I hope you can also have the courage to bear the consequences of doing so." ”

In just a few words, the atmosphere of the scene dropped to a freezing point.

Pingliang Zhizhou hurriedly stood up and asked people to carry a few boxes up: "These are the belongings that the lower officials and a few people collected in a daze, and now the lower officials are willing to hand over all of them to Hou Ye, Hou Ye can do whatever he wants, and the lower officials will not beak, and ask Hou Ye to say a few kind words for the lower officials in front of the emperor, so that the lower officials can save this life." ”

Shu Heng raised his eyebrows, this was to bribe him. Thinking of this, Shu Qi opened a few boxes and glanced at them lightly, all of which were jewelry, gold and silver. Shu Heng said in a deep voice: "Put it away." ”

Pingliang Zhizhou breathed a sigh of relief on his face, thinking in his heart what to pretend to be serious, didn't he just want to knock them out. But before he could rejoice for a moment, Shu Heng clapped his hands, and a group of soldiers surrounded him. Pingliang Zhizhou was shocked and shouted: "What does Master Hou mean by this." ”

Shu Heng glanced at him: "What do you mean?" Oh, naturally, I will arrest you and bring you back to Beijing to be dealt with by the emperor, and the official will also present the evidence of your crimes to the saint one by one. ”

As soon as the words fell, the officials present panicked, scolding and scolding, hearing their cursing, Shu Heng frowned, and said impatiently: "Plug my mouth." ”

When the scene was cleared, Shu Qi asked, "What about the belongings collected from the homes of those officials?" ”

Shu Heng rubbed his forehead: "Part of it will be distributed to the people, and the rest will be handed over to the treasury." ”

When Shu Heng returned to his residence, it was already late at night, and he didn't want to meet King Zhou in the courtyard, and Shu Heng remembered that he didn't seem to see King Zhou today.

He furrowed his brows and asked, "Where is King Zhou?" ”

King Zhou was startled, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Shu Heng who relaxed: "This king can't see you fighting and killing, so he went to go around Pingliang Mansion." ”

Shu Heng glanced at King Zhou deeply, and then said lightly: "Recently, this side can't be considered completely peaceful, and King Zhou should go out less, so as not to be taken captive by someone when he gets it, and the ministers can't afford to take it seriously." ”

King Zhou nodded and went back to the house. Shu Heng saw King Zhou return to the house, squinted his eyes, and said to Shu Qi beside him: "Go investigate and investigate, what happened to King Zhou when he went out today?" ”

In the capital, Ning Xi had just received news from Jiangbei, which was sent by Ning Miao, and he thought he heard it from Li Yu. Hearing that Shu Heng was coming back, Ning Xi squinted his eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, but this smile didn't last long, and Ning Xi slowly frowned.

Seeing this, Tanqing asked worriedly, "What's wrong?" ”

Ning Xi pursed her mouth: "My stomach hurts." ”

Tan Qing was stunned for a moment, and came back to his senses: "I'll get you a warm bag right away." ”

After the warm bag was brought over, Tanqing still couldn't help but read: "I asked you to eat less ice before, you didn't listen, look, you can stand the menstrual affairs now." ”

Ning Xi pouted aggrievedly, but he also knew that this time he was self-inflicted, and he didn't talk back to Tanqing. Using a warm bag against her lower abdomen, Ning Xi felt a little more comfortable, so she went back to the house, planning to take a nap.

Unexpectedly, when she woke up, it was already dark outside, Ning Xi slowly got up, rubbed the corners of her eyes, and shouted, "Erui, tanning." ”

Soon someone walked in, in addition to Erui, there was Shu's mother, Ning Xi was stunned: "When did my mother come over, why didn't you wake me up." ”

Shu's mother said lightly: "I heard Xiaoyue in my courtyard say that you have a stomachache, so I stopped by to take a look." ”

Ning Xi glanced at Erui in puzzlement, how could the people in Shu's mother house know. Erui hurriedly explained: "The slave maid met Xiaoyue before and inadvertently mentioned it. ”

Ning Xi nodded clearly, and smiled at Shu's mother: "Mother don't worry, I don't have a big problem, it's just that I used more sour plum juice this month, and I will have abdominal pain." ”

There was a trace of worry in Shu's mother's eyes, but she said casually: "Ming'er, I'll invite a doctor to come over and give you treatment." Seeing that Ning Xi didn't pay attention to it, he added: "The woman's body is careless." ”

Ning Xi nodded, although he felt that there was nothing wrong with his body, but for the sake of Shu's mother's peace of mind, Ning Xi still planned to ask the doctor to come over tomorrow to take a look.

When the doctor came on the second day, Shu's mother was also there, Xu because there was no man in the family, and Shu's mother came over for the sake of Ningxi's reputation. This time, it was not the imperial doctor who came, but the famous doctor invited by Shu's mother from outside.

The doctor checked Ning Xi's pulse, and after letting go of Ning Xi's wrist, he said to Shu's mother: "The cold in the young lady's body is heavy, which is not conducive to conception, but fortunately, it is not very serious, as long as you recuperate, your body will soon be able to recuperate." ”

Shu's mother nodded, and after thanking the doctor, she asked Erui to follow the doctor to get the medicine.

Ning Xi watched Erui leave, her expression was slightly embarrassed, she didn't expect that it was just a random inspection that really found out the problem, scratched her ears and said, "I thought my body was very healthy." ”

Shu's mother glanced at Ning Xi disapprovingly: "You little girls just don't know how to take care of your body, and when something really goes wrong, it's enough for you to cry." ”

Ning Xi stuck out her tongue, and a trace of helplessness flashed in Shu's mother's eyes when she saw this: "When your maid comes back from taking the medicine, you must take it on time." ”

Ning Xi nodded, suddenly remembered Ouyang Ling, and deliberately asked, "Do you need to call the doctor to check Ouyang Ling's pulse?" ”

Hearing this, Shu's mother seemed to become colder, and she dusted her sleeves: "No need, she has always been by my side, and I have paid attention to these things for her." ”

Ning Xi sighed, and then Shu's mother told Ning Xi to rest well and then went back to the yard.

When Shu Qing came in, he saw Ning Xi holding his chin with his right hand, lowering his eyes, looking thoughtful, looking around, and asked, "Madam, what are you thinking?" ”

Ning Xi shrugged his shoulders, and his eyes showed a slight smile: "I just feel that my mother doesn't seem to be as cold as she looks on the outside." Another point, she was even more sure that Shu's mother didn't care about Ouyang Ling as much as she appeared.

Shu Qing nodded after hearing this: "Although the slave maid doesn't remember, I heard Brother Qi say that when the old marquis was still there, the old lady was a very gentle woman. ”

Ning Xi picked it, and then she remembered that she didn't know anything about Shu Heng's father, so she asked Shu Qing: "Do you know what kind of person the old marquis is?" ”

Shu Qing shook his head, and seeing Ning Xi's disappointed look, he hurriedly spoke again: "But the slave maid heard Brother Qi mention that the old marquis is a very handsome man, very gentle to others, a beautiful son, and he was liked by Miss Boudoir when he was young." ”

Ning Xi couldn't help but sneer when she saw Shu Qing's yearning look, this maid said as if she had really experienced it. But she really couldn't imagine the appearance of Shu Heng's father, after all, she had always thought that Shu Heng's father and Shu Heng loved to have a cold face, thinking about Shu Heng's face suddenly becoming gentle, Ning Xi rubbed her hands, why did she think it was so weird.

"Then why did Mother become the way she is?" Ning Xi changed the topic and asked about Shu's mother.

Shu Qing thought about it for a while, and finally could only spread his hands helplessly: "The slave and maid don't know, the slave and maid only know that after the old marquis leaves, the lady's smile will become less and less, and she will become more and more strict with the young master." It seems that the young master has stopped being naughty since that time, and has become more and more steady. ”

Shu Qing lowered her eyes, it sounded like this, the relationship between Shu's mother and Shu's father was really good, after losing her beloved, Shu's mother could still raise Shu Heng alone, and taught Shu Heng so well, I really couldn't see that Shu's mother was such a strong woman, Ning Xi silently admired it in her heart. As for Shu Heng, she still wanted to see his naughty appearance.

But in a blink of an eye, the Manchu Dynasty knew that Shu's father died in the second year of the Qianyuan Dynasty to save the emperor, but what was the so-called matter, but few people knew it, and it was also this year, the Shu family was wiped out, and only the Jingzhong branch was left, what happened back then? But even if Ning Xi wanted to break his head, he couldn't think of a clue.

And in Shu's mother's house, the person standing in front of Shu's mother was the previous doctor.

"You're sure she's not under the influence of drugs." Shu Mu raised her eyebrows and said, it seems that the two are quite familiar.

The doctor replied respectfully: "Don't worry, the old lady, the young lady is only cold and has not been affected by external drugs. ”

Shu's mother was relieved, and the doctor said when she saw this: "The old lady is very interested in the young lady, and it seems that she is very satisfied with the young lady." ”

Shu's mother showed a slight smile: "It's rare that Shaohuan has found a woman who suits him, so I naturally want to protect Shaohuan for her." ”(.)
