Shen Mi instantly understood the meaning of his words, and couldn't help but show a slight surprise in his eyes: "Brother Gu Shi's words-" These words are really a bit rebellious.

Seeing this, Gu Zhicheng calmly surrendered: "I have long regarded Brother Ziyan as a close friend, and in addition to my father, I only speak freely in front of my brother. Don't hide it from Brother Ziyan that under the rule of the Zhou family, we are also trembling all the time. ”

He had a smile on his face, but there was a twelve-point sincerity in his eyes. The meaning of these words is already in the heart.

During these days, Shen Mi has had a lot of contacts with him, from the polite alienation at the beginning to the like-mindedness, and then to the appreciation and admiration of him now, it is natural and logical. It's not that he doesn't know his intentions for approaching him, on the contrary, doesn't he have the same thoughts when he keeps in touch with him?

In the end, if the ambition is the same, it will be of great benefit to the Shen family to be able to have more such connections.

Now that he has the intention of confessing to the Shen family, why should he refuse?

Shen Mi raised her lips, raised her glass, and touched him.

A qiē is all in the words.

Gu Zhicheng raised his neck and drank the wine, and said with burning eyes: "It's a pity that a good prince has been abolished." ”

Shen Mi slowly poured the cup and said, "But there is still a chance to turn the tables?" ”

The prince is just righteous and benevolent, and studied under the Jiangnan celebrity Wang Yantang in his childhood, with both ability and political integrity, sympathetic to the corporal, and was once regarded as a prince with the style of the lord of Zhongxing, but it is also because of his righteousness and benevolence, last year when King Chen was sacrificed in the thirteenth year, the prince wrote that King Chen's merits were immeasurable, and he asked for his rehabilitation, the emperor was noncommittal, but a few days later, he accused him of plotting misdeeds, and issued an edict to abolish him.

At that time, it was a draft edict drafted by the cabinet Yao Shizhao.

Gu Zhicheng shook his head, "Although the abolished prince is benevolent and righteous, he is fragile in his heart, he was suddenly deposed, and he was detained in the cold palace and suffered a little, and he is sure that he is already a little delirious. It was the emperor who released him, and unless the Zhao family had no more people to make a prince, he would never have the opportunity to touch that position again. ”

A person of insanity certainly cannot be a king.

And if the Zhao family really has no descendants, then the Great Zhou royal family will be abolished, and who will be willing to give the country back to a fool?

Shen Mi silently sipped the wine again.

While he was groaning, a woman's voice suddenly sounded at the bow of the boat.

The two of them looked out at the same time, and saw the owner of the boat bowing his head and talking to a woman.

Gu Zhicheng called the owner: "Who is this?" ”

The owner hurriedly bent down: "The second master, this is Qiu Niang, who was originally the Qin Niang of the East Lake Painting Boat, was recently ostracized and fired, so she took some private work between the boats." ”

When Gu Zhicheng heard this, he looked at Qiu Niang who was standing on the bow of the boat, and saw that her clothes were simple, thin and slender, and she really looked like she was born poor. Then he said, "Ask her, what will she do?" ”

The owner hurriedly summoned Qiu Niang in. After saying that, Qiu Niang gave a blessing to the two people in the boat, lowered her eyes and said: "The slave is good at the zheng, and the pipa is the essence." ”

Gu Zhicheng looked at Shen Mi with a smile: "Ziyan is interested?" ”

Shen Mi also heard the words of the Fang Master. After thinking about it, he smiled and said: "With such a beautiful day, it is okay to play and sing two songs." ”

Gu Zhicheng waved his hand down, holding the pot to pour wine for Shen Mi, and suddenly a girl came to the bow of the boat, stepped forward and said a blessing, so he knelt on the side of the two people's case, took the wine pot with both hands, and poured it for them.

Gu Zhicheng wondered, Qiu Niang hurriedly said: "This is Xiyue, the sister of the slave family, and now in order to maintain the livelihood of the family, she has to follow her out to serve the wine." If the two masters don't like it, the slave family will send her down. ”

Shen Mi never asked anyone to wait from the side, and when he heard the words, he looked at Xiyue, only to see that it was a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, with big eyes and pointed chin, and her delicate appearance was a little like his baby daughter, so her heart softened, and she took out a ten taels of silver ticket from her arms, handed it over and said, "We like to talk quietly, we don't have to wait, you go down." ”

Xiyue thanked him and took the silver ticket, hooked his head and walked out.

Gu Zhicheng continued to pour wine. Lu ingots at the stern of the boat heard the sound of the pipa in the boat and also turned in.

After ordering two songs, there was a sudden noise at the bow of the boat, and then a few people walked in, led by the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, with a big knife on his waist and a gloomy face, and the accompanying few people were also wearing the costumes of the Five Cities Battalion, and there was a woman behind them, with a half-height body and messy clothes, it was actually Xiyue who had just walked out!

"Wu Chong?" Gu Zhicheng looked at the command history of the shoulder knife and suddenly frowned.

Obviously, the people of the Five Cities Camp were not treated well by the heroes.

And Xiyue suddenly swept away her previous well-behaved and docile, and cried and pointed at him and Shen Mi: "Official, it's a few of them who insult our sisters!" Ask the official to make the decision for us! ”

When the whole boat was stunned, Qiu Niang, who was holding the pipa, suddenly stood up crying, and walked to the bow of the boat tremblingly, as if she had just received some great insult in the boat!

Wu Chong walked inside the boat, arched his hand with Gu Zhicheng and said, "Lord Shizi, I have offended." Just now, Xia Guan received a report from this woman, saying that someone on the boat had done something indecent to the two of them, and Xia Guan came to mediate as an example, and if there was any offense, I hope to forgive me. ”

Gu Zhicheng's face turned cold.

Shen Mi looked at the second daughter's eyes flickering, and instantly understood what was going on. The commander-in-chief of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is the queen's younger brother An Ning Hou Liu Yan, the Liu family is not from military merit, it was just a squire in northern Jiangsu, the Liu family saved Zhou Gaozu's life on the way to the Zhao family uprising, and later Zhou Gaozu and the Liu family formed a family of children. And after the daughter of the Liu family became the queen, her relatives were also rewarded according to the rules.

If it is said that the noble warriors of the Qing Dynasty in the DPRK look down on the noble generals who were born in war, then the nobles and military ministers look down on the imperial relatives like the Liu family who are unarmed and promoted to the throne purely by nepotism.

The heroes and nobles, including the Gu family, were different from Liu Jiadao and did not conspire with each other, so that the relationship between the five military camps and the five city camps was not good. Although Wu Chong, who is currently serving as the commander of Beicheng, knows that there is the second master of the Shen family and the prince of the Rongguo Mansion, he still says "offended" in a big way, and it is obvious that he came prepared.

And these two women who claim to be pianists are so upside down that black and white confuse the public, could it be that they are singing on the same stage with them?

If that's the case, it's a bit of a problem!

Shen Mi's mind suddenly turned, and he said to Lu Ding and the three of them: "Zhiyi, you go first, it's none of your business here." ”

Lu Ingot and they are not fools, they can't see that Shen Mi and the others have fallen into a trap at this time? He immediately said: "I invited this wine, how can I go first?" Brother Li and Brother He can go back first. ”

Although Li He and the others have not entered the ranks, they are also old acquaintances who have been friends with Shen Mi for a long time, and the literati are all arrogant, how can they be the ones who seek benefits and avoid disadvantages? But no one went first. Shen Mi had no choice but to drag Lu Ingot aside and said, "I'm afraid that this matter will not be so good today, you go back and sue Sù Sheng Peiyi for me, just say that I was summoned to the palace for a while, and I have to go back later, so as to save her worry." ”

Lu Ding knew that he respected Fahrenheit, and when he heard him say this, he frowned and paused, and nodded.

Wu Chong saw that the three of them brushed their sleeves and got on the boat, but they didn't stop them, and Qiu Niang and the others only looked at Shen Mi and Gu Zhicheng from time to time.

Shen Mi's heart became more and more confident, these people were coming for the two of them.

Wu Zhong said to the two: "Two adults, it is inconvenient to speak here, for the sake of the dignity of the two adults. Please go to the Beicheng Terracotta Division with the lower officials! Everyone has come to the door to find out what is going on, whether the two adults are drunk and light on the woman, and there is a good explanation. ”

Gu Zhichenggui is the prince of the Guogong Mansion, except for the prince of the clan in the court, there are few more powerful than him, and now he is being ridiculed by a small commander, how can he bear it? Immediately, he smashed the table in front of him with a palm, and said with a heavy face: "What are you?" Dare to bet on this son! If you want to charge, call you Liu Yan over! ”

Wu Chong saw that he was angry, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked, but he has always done things for An Ninghou, and he can be called half of his confidant, and he is not afraid of his backing. So he sneered: "Xia Guan is the commander of Beicheng who is personally ordered by the imperial court, what is it?" The prince doesn't have to worry, if you don't go, then the lower officials will have to report to the Metropolitan Procuratorate! But presumably, even if the prince agrees, Lord Shen will not be willing to do this, right? ”

Shen Mi was named, and her eyebrows immediately became cold.

If you report to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it will be tantamount to publicizing it to the whole world, and what can't the people in the Five Cities Camp do?

Even if this is a trap at the moment, it is difficult to guarantee that no one is secretly fueling the trouble, and when the matter spreads in the court, the face of the Shen Gu family will be wiped out! Even if it can be proved that this is a misunderstanding afterwards, but the matter has been spread, even the fake people in the world will take it as a little true. And the emperor is quite suspicious, and it is difficult to say whether he will also suspect the conduct of the Shen family because of this.

Shen Mi was silent for a moment, untied his purse, looked at the silver ticket that Hua Shi stuffed into him, and looked at Qiu Niang and the others calmly: "How much silver do you want before agreeing to take this matter privately?" Three hundred taels, is it enough? ”

Xiyue's eyes flashed obviously, Wu Chong looked over, Qiu Niang swallowed her saliva, and said to Shen Mi: "Look at what the master said, how can our sisters' innocence be compensated for just three hundred taels of silver?" Is this treating us as the next three of the immortals? If you insist on not going to Beicheng Camp to make things clear, then let's call everyone here and make the comments successful! ”

Shen Mi looked at Qiu Niang's gaze, and there was no longer any warmth.

He carefully hung his purse back on his waist and said, "Lord Wu just said that he was going to report to the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" ”

Wu Chong was stunned and replied: "What, Lord Shen means to let the lower officials go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to deliver the message?" ”

"Please!" Shen Miping stretched out his right hand.

Wu Chong paused.

Shen Mi took his hand behind him, and said: "Lord Wu went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, just ask the Imperial Historian to come directly, but Lord Wu don't forget, this kind of case is not accepted by the Wucheng Battalion, and if the people sue the official, these two girls will first have a meal." Except for Shuntianfu, I'm not going anywhere, what does Lord Wu want to do, please. ”R1152
