88. Chapter 88
As Shen Yaoguang expected, the rumors finally reached the emperor's ears after circulating in the capital for two days. It is said that when the emperor knew about the Tao, he was furious and ordered that those who spread the word be severely punished. If the circumstances are heinous, it is not to be counted as killing.
As a result, the gossip that swept the streets and alleys of the capital disappeared in one day.
However, there were originally many legends about Xuanyuan Night, and most of them were not good, as if anything that had anything to do with him would not end well. Now that there are more such statements, everyone's opinion of him is a little worse.
What's more, there were countless rumors in the market, but it was just a little talk about the common people after dinner, and no one ever interfered. This time it's a good thing, not only did the court interfere, but the emperor also interfered personally, and for this trivial matter, he actually said that he would kill innocent people. For a while, people were panicked, and they didn't dare to mention it, but they were indignant in their hearts.
This indignation is not all because of the emperor, but more because of the emperor's difference to Xuanyuan Night. Therefore, although the gossip disappeared under the high-pressure policy, the hearts of the common people faintly began to believe those messages. even felt that the reason why the emperor cared more than the person concerned was because he and Xuanyuan Ye had an ulterior secret.
Otherwise, what kind of importance does the emperor pay attention to Xuanyuan Ye, who does not have an official and a half-position? Otherwise, Xuanyuan Ye is not the only person who is rumored to like male style in the Western Chu Dynasty, and other people don't care about it, and even suppress it openly and secretly.
When Shen Yaoguang heard Hua Yan say this, he was watering a pot of flowers, and when he heard Hua Yan say that he had a nose and eyes, he faintly felt that it was five or six points credible in his heart. It's not that Xuanyuan Ye likes male style, but the emperor may really like male style. Why else is it so good to Xuanyuan Ye for no reason? Besides, that Xuanyuan Night Chang is really quite beautiful!
Thinking like this, she laughed inexplicably.
"Miss Shen, what kind of joy is this, why are you smiling so happily?"
An idle voice interrupted Shen Yaoguang's thoughts, she looked up and saw Mu Jiu in a green shirt, holding a straw in his mouth, swaying in.
Shen Yaoguang glanced at him, and said coolly: "Yo, who is this?" Look at the noodles. It's not that you went to the wrong door and found the wrong person. Huayan, you go and ask, if you make a mistake, you will be sent away quickly! With that, she dropped the kettle and turned to go into the house.
Hua Yan didn't do what she was told, she just took the kettle and continued to water the flowers by herself, regardless of Mu Jiu.
Mu Jiu didn't care about Shen Yaoguang's teasing, he still followed Shen Yaoguang into the room with a casual smile, and saw Shen Yaoguang sitting on the soft couch reading a book, so he came over and said with a smile: "Miss Shen is so studious?" I have also studied for a few years, so it is better to accompany Miss Shen to read it. As he spoke, he took a book casually, sat down opposite Shen Yaoguang and read it.
Syllable!
Shen Yaoguang threw the book in his hand on the table heavily, and looked at Mu Jiu unhappily, "I said, what is your surname?" Who allowed you in? Who allowed you to sit down? ”
Mu Jiu blinked innocently, "Miss Shen is really a nobleman, she obviously said that she would take me in as a coachman, why don't you know me now!" ”
Shen Yaoguang let out a long sigh of relief, "Do you still know that I took you in and asked you to be a coachman?" So dare to ask Mu Jiu coachman, who have you been driving for more than half a month? ”
It was originally from that day, under Mu Jiu's soft grinding and hard bubbles, after Shen Yaoguang took him in, he never appeared again.
It's okay if it doesn't show up.
Shen Yaoguang saved him just to fake his death, but Mu Jiu didn't have a fake death pill at all, so he didn't need to have anything to do with people in the rivers and lakes like Mu Jiu, and he was chased and killed.
Now that he is gone on his own, she will save trouble.
But he was good, he disappeared for more than half a month, and he came back like a person who had nothing to do.
Shen Yaoguang felt that she was not the kind of person who was cautious, but looking at his idle appearance, she became angry.
Na Mu Jiu was also real, he didn't shirk it at all, and generously admitted that he went to Bada Hutong. What to say before, because of the relationship between running for his life and being injured, he hadn't smelled a woman for a long time, so he rushed to open meat if it didn't hurt.
Shen Yaoguang looked at him coldly, "Your enemy won't hunt you down?" ”
"Chasing, why don't you chase? But it's better to be killed than to be suffocated! Mu Jiu said frankly, as if he had lost his life in order to pursue some aspect of satisfaction, and it was not a shameful thing at all.
Shen Yaoguang sneered, "I don't care if you are willing to suffocate to death or willing to be killed, when you enter my door, you have to listen to me." You've been missing for ten days and half a month, what's the use of me asking you to be a groom? Besides, you stayed in those eight alleys for half a month, and your enemies didn't come to you, so it can be seen that people don't think that what you stole is important, so they don't plan to hunt you down at all. It's so good, since you like the eight big alleys, go and live there permanently. I can't accommodate your big Buddha here! Mu Jiugongzi, please! ”
Mu Jiu was stunned for a moment, and seeing that Shen Yaoguang didn't seem to be joking, he immediately put away his smile and said seriously: "The last time!" I promise you, Miss Shen, that this kind of thing will not happen again. If I leave my post without permission next time, I don't need you to say it, I will pack up my bed and leave, what do you think? ”
"Not really!" Shen Yaoguang grabbed the book and read it, not planning to pay attention to him anymore.
The reason why Shen Yaoguang is so serious is not that he really cares that Mu Jiuyi has been gone for more than half a month and has not returned. In fact, when she left Mujiu to be a coachman, she just said it casually. She didn't go out much originally, and she couldn't do without a coachman when she went out occasionally. She left him to say that there was an element of impulsiveness in the end.
But when she saw Mu Jiu again today, she had the illusion that she was making trouble for herself. She doesn't know if Lu Dao Mujiu is really in Bada Hutong for more than half a month, if so, that person who doesn't care about his life and death because of his greed for beauty, can she help him? Can't do it! If not, then where has he been in the past half a month? Why don't you know why? There must be a secret in this. Presumably this is the reason why someone is chasing and killing him. If that's the case, she is simply getting into trouble by helping him.
After thinking about it, she still felt that she shouldn't have anything to do with this person.
So I took this opportunity to send him away.
Mu Jiu didn't speak, just sat listlessly opposite, looking for something in his arms, and after turning it over for a long time, he finally pulled out an inconspicuous sachet from it, raised it in his hand, and said helplessly: "I still have something interesting to tell Miss Shen, but now it seems that Miss Shen must not want to listen to it." ”
Shen Yao just made up his mind to ignore him, but when he caught a glimpse of the sachet in his hand, a panicked look quickly swept across his eyes.
"What's that?" She suppressed the panic in her heart and asked pretending to be relaxed.
Mu Jiu didn't seem to expect her to take care of herself at all, and she looked very surprised, and hurriedly smiled: "This is a very wonderful thing, I spent a lot of effort to get it." ”
"What the hell is it?" Shen Yaoguang said impatiently.
Mu Jiu didn't care about her attitude, and continued: "This is what I found in Lichun Courtyard. I heard that it was the Oiran red peony thing! ”
Shen Yaoguang's fingers unconsciously tapped on the tabletop, "The red peony you are talking about is the woman who has entered the mansion of the Third Highness now?" Why, don't you like other people's sachets and steal them? ”
Mu Jiuyi laughed when he heard Ha Lu Ha Da Lu, "Although the red peony is beautiful enough, it is not the type I like, I really can't take her things." Besides, you think it's a sachet. Not at all! ”
Shen Yaoguang's hand still kept tapping on the table, and said impatiently: "Do you want to say it?" If you don't say anything, you'll get out! ”
Mu Jiu saw that she was impatient, so he didn't sell Guan Zi anymore, "This is actually a thing called Miao Gu." I took a cursory look, and it could be regarded as a peach blossom Gu. Miss Shen, you probably don't know what Peach Blossom Gu is, right? This kind of Gu can make people like someone with all their hearts. Of course, this requires the purest Peach Blossom Gu to have this effect. The contents of this sachet are obviously not hot enough, and it can only make people confused for a short time. I heard that some time ago, Nalan Shu has been lingering in Lichun Courtyard, and now it seems that the red peony is not so charming, it is simply the function of this sachet. However, this red peony is also a little bold, and even dares to use this kind of thing. Use it, you should carefully store it, but it was thrown away in Lichun Courtyard, which is really strange. Miss Shen, did you say? But in my opinion, she may have lost it on purpose. I thought it was weird, so I looked into it, and guess what? It turned out that her parents seemed to be under house arrest. I guess that Peach Blossom Gu must have been given to her, telling her to seduce Nalan Shu. If she didn't want to, kill her parents and family. When she succeeded, she designed to lead the emperor to Lichun Courtyard and bumped into that scene. In this way, Naranshu will definitely anger the emperor and be punished. Ahhh Who the hell is it? What kind of deep hatred does Nalan have to say, he even used this method. ”
Shen Yaoguang's hands couldn't help but clench into fists, and his eyes staring at Mu Jiu grew cold, "Who are you?" ”
She absolutely believed that Mu Jiu, who had found out the matter to this point, knew that the person who gave the Red Peony Peach Blossom Gu and put the Red Peony family under house arrest and threatened her was Shen Yaoguang.
It's just that Shen Yaoguang didn't know what Mu Jiu meant by saying it in such a way? Threat, or reminder?
However, that Miao Gu was taboo in the Western Chu Dynasty and could never be touched, so she did the whole thing very secretly, but she was afraid that the red peony didn't know that she was the mastermind of the Dao. But Mu Jiu knew it!
Isn't that weird?
How can an inconspicuous guy who doesn't seem to care about anything, only lingers in Flower Street and Willow Lane, has bad martial arts, and likes to lead the sheep by the hand, how can he have such a ability?
Therefore, this Mu Jiu is really not simple!
Mu Jiu blinked, and instead of answering her question, he didn't answer what he asked, "Miss Shen is my life-saving benefactor, and I also said that I will not give up where I can be used in the future." So, don't worry, I'm not going to tell anyone about it. And for all the people who have seen this sachet, I have helped Miss Shen to take care of it, and I will definitely not leak half a point. However, the red peony had lost something, presumably intentionally to help herself get out. What are Miss Shen's plans? ”
Shen Yaoguang stared at him without speaking, and after a while, she smiled and said, "I really want to know how Mu Jiu Gongzi helped me deal with those people." ”
Mu Jiu laughed and said, "Miss Shen really wants to know the Dao? But you're going to have nightmares! ”
Seeing that he had no shape, Shen Yaoguang gave up, and said again: "Then since you have such a ability to help me deal with those people, presumably a red peony should be no problem." You've got you covered! ”
Mu Jiu shook his head, "No, I think you deliberately want to keep the red peony, I can't touch her." ”
Shen Yaoguang couldn't help but look at the man a few more times, and his heart was really curious. If she threatened Red Peony to lure Nalan Shu to be found by this person, it was this person's ability. Then he was able to see through her intention to leave the red peony at this time, which was really amazing.
"Yo, I can't see it, our Mu Jiu Gongzi can also read minds. Not bad! Shen Yaoguang was more casual with Mu Jiu. She didn't know what this person was doing to help her, maybe it was really to repay her kindness, maybe she had other purposes, but it seemed that it was still beneficial and harmless at the moment. And, it's really easy to talk to smart people. Mu Jiu is this smart person!
Mu Jiu began to smile cynically again, "I have won awards." It's a trivial matter, why worry about it! As long as Miss Shen feels that she is still a little useful and can help a little by staying by her side, it will be an honor to be here! ”
Shen Yaoguang raised his eyebrows and said lazily: "It's a little bit of use, but it's not much." Whether or not to keep you or not, I need to think again. I'll have to see if you're really that useful! ”
Mu Jiu immediately came to his senses, "Miss Shen said this, I really have something to tell you." I went to the prison last night with nothing to do, and guess what? Song Jingxian's mother and daughter are sick. ”
"You went to the prison of the Criminal Department? How to get around? Visits? Shen Yaoguang asked with a smile.
Mu Jiu was stunned, blinked his eyes, and the scar on his forehead jumped, and then he answered: "This is not the point. If you want to go in, Miss Shen, I can make an appointment with you another day. The point is that Song Jingxian's mother and daughter have a strange disease. I heard that it can't be cured. reported to the emperor, and the emperor said that he was a death row prisoner anyway, and if he couldn't be saved, he wouldn't be saved. ”
Shen Yaoguang no longer wondered how Mu Jiu got into the prison of the Criminal Department, and said with a smile: "Presumably you know the cause and effect of the Dao." Who is it? ”
"Your father!" Mu Jiu gave the answer bluntly.
