088 Roots

"I also knew him by accident."

Shen Yan lay on the door, saw Han Ji leave through the crack in the door, so he breathed a sigh of relief, stood up straight proudly, took out a ten taels of silver ticket from his purse, handed it to the porter and said: "This is what your master asked me to bring back, saying that there is nothing in the Zhuangzi, and I ask you to quietly buy him some wine." I'll leave it to you, I won't stay long, and I'll leave first. ”

After saying that, she walked straight through the patio, skillfully walked out of another small side door on the east side, and looked at the porter stunned, not understanding why this little girl who came to the door could walk sideways in the Qin family?

Han Ji stayed behind the big locust tree at the east gate of the Qin family until the sun slanted westward, and then went back to the house directly.

Shen Yan went out here, but hired a carriage from the opposite direction to return to Hazelnut Hutong, the officers and soldiers had already retreated, and the Hutong had regained its previous appearance, but there were still some people walking around the Hutong. When she arrived at the door of the Treasure Workshop, Fu Niang was still parked there with the carriage, Shen Yan jumped out of the car, and Fu Niang rushed over screaming, hugging her and crying and laughing.

"Where have you been?!"

Just as Shen Yan was comforting Fu Niang, Gu Song's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

Shen Yan raised his head, only to see him holding the horsewhip, standing in front of him with a straight face, and there was still a residual anxious look on the corner of his eyebrows.

"Why are you here?" She straightened up.

Gu Song snorted coldly and glared at her, beckoning Song Jiang to lead the horse.

He was angry with her, but now that he saw her return safely, he couldn't say anything.

Shen Yan went up and grabbed the reins of his horse: "You're here to find me?" She gestured to the guards who had retreated.

Gu Song snorted again and looked ahead.

Shen Yan understood, grinned, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, this little accident won't bother me." ”

Although the heart is a little weak. But I still have to say that. After all, everyone almost broke their hearts because they were worried about her.

If the teenager she met was not Han Ji but someone else, she shouldn't have dragged it out until now.

But she just met Han Ji. The reason why she didn't tear her face with him was because she knew him a little, since he had two faces, he must be a careful and cautious person, so he would not casually kill a little girl with an eight-treasure gold lock around her neck in the capital. And he has not yet colluded with the King of Chu, and obviously he will not be so bold as to dare to commit murder at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

If Shen Yan didn't know her. Then there is no need to kill her at all. And if Shen Yan knew him. If he kills her, he may have something extraneous, just like before, to let him know that she has a name, a surname, and a family background. There is also a place to settle accounts in the future, which is actually the best.

"Go home!"

Gu Song* dropped this sentence and began to move forward.

Shen Yan looked at his back, turned around and got into the carriage.

She could feel that Gu Song was angry. Apparently he came because of her, but she didn't know what to explain to him.

I don't know what Han Ji is doing. Since he was so afraid of her leaking secrets, he was afraid that if she showed it, he was afraid that she would cause a lot of trouble. Although the Shikoku Mansions had close contacts, in the end, everyone held their own military powers, and they ate together in front of the emperor. This kind of shady thing, she had better rot in her stomach.

In addition, Gu Song helped her. She had also mentioned her worries to him as a friend. It stands to reason that she really shouldn't hide it from him in the matter of the Liu family, this kind of thing can be done with the help of his strength, but when it comes to the situation of their second room in the mansion, she can't help but be more cautious.

But judging from today's events, the fact that he was able to pounce here so quickly shows that he understands what she is doing, and he did not alarm anyone else, but only used his own men to find her, which shows that he also knows the importance of this place. In this case, if you still want to hide from him, it seems a bit hypocritical.

After entering the Qilin Fang, Shen Yan got off the car at the entrance of the alley between the two mansions.

Seeing this, Gu Song had to stop.

"I found out that Liu Pu is still in the hands of the people in the treasure shop, and there should be a shortage of a large amount of silver at the moment, I guess my third aunt should send someone to send money to the gambling house, and it seems that she must raise 20,000 taels of silver to rescue Liu Pulai."

She stood on the ground and said.

Gu Song handed the reins to Song Jiang, looked at the sky and said lightly: "So what?" ”

Shen Yan leaned over: "You have great powers, if you can send someone to help me keep an eye on Hazelnut Hutong, I will be very grateful." ”

Who is rare for her gratitude?

Gu Song glanced at her and snorted.

But she was willing to take the initiative to talk to him about it, and he felt a little more comfortable in his heart.

"Are you going to help or not?" Shen Yan saw that he didn't speak, and his voice was raised.

Gu Song glared at her. Will he die if he has a better attitude when he does things?

The fire in his heart burned again. But the words of refusal rolled on his lips a few times, and he still couldn't say it.

The more he did this, the more he glared at her, and he said coldly: "I'm not deaf, I hear it!" ”

After speaking, he jumped into the house in a few steps, reflexively slammed the door, and returned to the room with a belly of fire.

Shen Yan shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and returned to the house.

The matter of meeting Han Ji on the road was left behind by her, anyway, she didn't have many opportunities to go out secretly, next time she brought more people, who would dare to be disrespectful to her again?

This trip has gained a lot, Liu's crime is basically clear, but even if the speculation is true, there is still a lack of strong evidence, Aunt Wu's death has been decided, and there is Mrs. Shen and Shen Huan behind Liu, it is not so easy for her to take her down.

She has no intention of exposing the Liu family at the moment.

She is not so kind, and she does not have the leisure to overturn the case for Aunt Wu, even if she succeeds in doing so, Shen Ying will not necessarily eliminate her hostility towards her, and at the same time offend Sanfang, she is not full of food, why do you want to do this?

The ultimate purpose of her pursuit for so long is to find out how the dowry of Fahrenheit was lost in her previous life.

Now it seems that it is very likely that Hua's dowry in his previous life was stolen by Liu, even if Liu is not the murderer who killed Hua, at least this money is likely to fall into her purse, if Liu's original intention of seeking Hua's dowry in her previous life was also because of paying off Liu Pu's debts, then it means that she has not many days left to raise money, according to this, Hua's is likely to have been listed as a target by Liu's now!

But where will she choose to tear the hole?

After Shen Yan went back to the room to bathe and change clothes, he couldn't help but follow this clue and meditate.

As dusk fell, the lights on the painting boat on the East Lake gradually brightened all over the lakeshore.

Lu Ding often comes here to drink, and is very familiar with the owners of the painting boat here, and today he ordered a smaller screen window painting boat, just enough for four or five friends to drink and talk. In fact, it is not a big deal for Shen Mi to be rewarded, everyone is just looking for a name to come out to get together, because they are all friends, so the atmosphere is also very lively.

At the end of summer and early autumn, the lake is lively at night, and the sound of silk and bamboo on other boats comes from time to time. A few people drank each other, Lu Ingot invited the other two classmates in the seat to go to the bow of the boat to chant poetry, Gu Zhicheng was not good at this, so he had to drink in the cabin to enjoy the scenery, Shen Mi was the best at taking care of people's moods, so he stayed and drank with him.

Shen Mi sat cross-legged on the seat, and the wide robe and big sleeves showed that he was a little more elegant under this scene. He said: "When I came just now, I saw the soldiers and horses of Beicheng leading the army in chaos, but what happened? ”

Gu Zhicheng took a sip of wine, "It is said that there are snitches in the Beicheng camp." ”

After speaking, he snorted slightly: "Those guys in the Five Cities Camp are careless, and as soon as something as big as a sesame mung bean is a big thing, it will make the city stormy." Even if there is a snitch in broad daylight, what do you go to the North City camp to steal? Most of the reason is that it is the second half of the year again, and it is just that I can ask for a salary in front of the emperor at first glance. ”

Shen Mi smiled when he heard this: "The Five Cities Battalion maintains law and order in the city, and it can't be compared with the Five Military Battalions that have seen real swords and real guns on the field. ”

"That's not exactly what I said." Gu Zhicheng said modestly, "Every yamen has advantages and disadvantages, and it cannot be generalized. Even though I am also a post-barracks military officer, there are many people below me who do not obey discipline, and I am not worried. ”

Speaking of the military camp, Shen Mi remembered again: "The northwest is said to have stabilized, and the king of Liao will be the age of the country next year. It's just that the king of Liao is restless and unstable, and I don't know if he can take on this important responsibility. ”

Gu Zhicheng thought for a while and said: "Since the crown prince was deposed, there are only three princes left in the palace now, King Zheng and King Chu are young, and King Liao could have delayed the return of the country for a few years, but the emperor seems to have high hopes for King Liao and has no intention of keeping him in Beijing." ”

Shen Mi pondered for a moment, took a sip of wine, and said, "In the end, the surname of the King of Liao is Zhao." ”

Although the old Wei Guogong was a sworn brother with Zhou Gaozu at the beginning, and then he was also very fond of the Han family, and there has been no sign of suspicion so far, but this brother with a different surname is not as reliable as his own descendants.

Therefore, even if the king of Liao was not good at scheming, he still could not stop the emperor's determination to send him to such an important place as the northwest fortress.

Gu Zhicheng was silent with him, smelling the sound of silk strings in his ears, and said obscurely: "The emperor is also nearly fifty years old this year, and the dragon body has never been very healthy. If you and I, the old ministers and heroes, want to completely settle down and help the Great Zhou to seek a cause for ten thousand years, we may have to wait until the next monarch ascends the throne to have hope. ”

The two generations of emperors of the Zhou room are like Cao Cao on the side of the couch and do not allow others to sleep peacefully, the government and the opposition have been trembling for thirteen years, this may be the unique problem of the Zhao Emperor, or it may be the common disease of all the founding monarchs in the world, now they do not pin their hopes on the next generation of kings, do not expect him to be a generation of generous and benevolent Ming Jun, what else?
