Chapter 11: The Thief

"The owner, we must not let Shen Yan suffer this injustice. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Uncle Seven's brows were tightly twisted together, and as soon as he entered the yamen, he was indispensable for thirty kills, and I don't know if Shen Yan's thin body can withstand it."

"Uncle Seven, what should we do?" Cheng Ke'er's delicate face was full of worry, "Brother Shen's friends only broke the legs of a few officials a few days ago, and they will definitely take the opportunity to retaliate, besides, this incident is obviously a trap." ”

After a few days of getting along, Shen Yan successfully made Cheng Keer change his words, and also made the other party have enough trust in him.

"For today's plan, we can only spend some money to go to Jinling Mansion to make a few points, I hope they don't do too much." There was a strong worry in the eyes of the seventh uncle who had experienced the vicissitudes of life, "I'm afraid that they won't look down on our silver at all, and they won't want to let go." ”

"For now, we can only do our best to obey the fate of God." Uncle Lin sighed deeply.

"Okay, I'll go to Jinling Mansion for some silver from the account room." Cheng Ke'er's eyes showed a hint of perseverance, no matter how much money was spent, Shen Yan must be saved.

"The owner, it's not good for you to show up as a woman in this matter, so I'll go." The seventh uncle sighed, and the worry in his eyes did not diminish at all.

The grand occasion of the couplets of Wangjiang Tower and the incident of the dead man spread all over the streets and alleys of Jinling City with lightning speed.

"Although things deviated from the plan, the effect was within the plan." After Tong Yanbian received the news, he gently touched the short beard under his chin, and a trace of indifferent disdain appeared in his eyes, since ancient times, the people did not fight with officials, even if you attracted the attention of the one in the palace, but he took care of everything every day, how could he still remember that you are a hillbilly who is not from a gate valve, such an identity and experience, especially the opponent of people who have experienced the ups and downs of officialdom for decades.

"Dad, I heard that something happened to Wangjianglou?" Tong Shaojun's eyes were full of excitement and joy.

"Shaojun, how many times have my father told you, Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his color remained unchanged, his joys, sorrows and sorrows were not visible, and he had no self-control, how to achieve great things in the future." Looking at his happy son, Tong Yanbian's face couldn't help but sink, and he said with a serious face.

"Dad, I see." Tong Shaojun's good mood was like a pouring rain that was ruthlessly washed away, "No, I heard some good information, but I didn't control my emotions for a while." ”

"Don't interfere with what your father said about Wangjiang Tower, even if you receive any news about Wangjiang Tower, don't show it." Tong Yanbian stared at Tong Shaojun solemnly, "Go back and continue to stay." ”

"Dad, I heard that something happened to Wangjianglou?" Qiu Yingxue walked to Qiu Mubai's side lightly, with a hint of worry in her eyes, "Do you know what's going on?" ”

"Yingxue, you shouldn't pay too much attention to these extraneous things." As soon as Qiu Mubai arrived in Jinling City, he immediately handed over the roster and account book that he brought back at the risk of his life to the emperor and had a deep conversation with him, but the emperor did not arrange any things and positions, and kept Qiu Mubai in a state of idleness, "Our two masters are in the center of the storm in Jinling City, and they will fall into it at any time and can't pull it out, and it's good for my father to tell you this." ”

"Dad, is something wrong with Shen Yan?" The corners of Qiu Yingxue's mouth smiled slightly, and she stepped forward and pulled Qiu Mubai's arm and shook it gently, "I know that what my father said is for the good of my daughter, but my father also taught me that the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by a spring, Shen Yan saved his daughter's life after all, he had an accident, and if her daughter knew about it, she would be upset for the rest of her life." ”

"Ugh." Listening to Qiu Yingxue's words, Qiu Mubai let out a long sigh, "Dad knows that as soon as you know about Wangjiang Tower, you will definitely want to save Shen Yan." ”

"Yingxue, you promise your father one thing, don't meddle in Shen Yan's matter easily, just beg your father to beg you." Qiu Mubai's eyes had never been so serious and so stern.

"Dad, what the hell is going on?" Qiu Yingxue's heart couldn't help but jump more intensely, as if something bad was about to happen.

"Ying Xue, Shen Yan's case seems to be an ordinary criminal case, but after the accident, Dad comprehensively collected all the factors, coupled with Daddy's speculation, this matter is not simple, it can be said that it will affect the whole body at once, and it is likely to cause a big storm in Jinling City." Qiu Mubai's eyes looked a little ethereal and unreal, "Today's saint is a generation of Ming monarchs, but the empire's gate lords are eyeing the strong, the relatives are autocratic, and the sons are seizing the heirs, and the confrontation of these forces is all concentrated in Jinling City, although these forces are currently maintaining a balance, but after all, the emperor is old, and what they are waiting for is an opportunity, an opportunity that can set off a big storm." ”

"Dad, what you said is too exaggerated, what is Shen Yan's identity, and how can he cause such a big storm." A hint of doubt flashed in Qiu Yingxue's eyes.

"Shen Yan doesn't have such great ability, but many forces are laying out Wangjiang Tower, wanting to win a cornerstone of the game." Qiu Mubai's eyes showed a hint of helplessness, "It's just that Wangjiang Tower's reputation is too loud or it's bad luck, and it's only blame why Shen Yan listened to Gao Yong's advice to live in Wangjiang Tower." ”

"Maybe that's his life."

"Dad, I'm a little unwilling, and my heart is not at ease" knew that her father was for her own good, but Qiu Yingxue felt a trace of colic in her heart, and she couldn't help but think of the scenes of Shen Yan holding herself to avoid the man in black by the forest, thinking of the place where she was distracted, a trace of blush couldn't help but appear at the root of her ears, and a faint smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of her mouth.

Looking at Qiu Yingxue's demeanor, Qiu Mubai couldn't help but shake his head gently, knowing that Shen Yan's figure had been deeply imprinted in Ying Xue's mind, or that Ying Xue had feelings for Shen Yan without knowing it.

"Boy, you're awake." Shen Yan's eyelids jumped slightly, and an old but angry voice came from his ears, "Boy, who have you offended, they are so ruthless to put you to death, but your kid's life is quite hard, and you can survive if you are injured like this." ”

"Where is this?" Shen Yan asked hoarsely.

"Damn, you kid wasn't beaten stupid, right? This is, of course, a cell, and a death row cell. The old and neutral voice said with some disdain.

"Prison cell? Death row? Shen Yan's voice seemed to become more hoarse, and he said a little impatiently, "Why am I here?" ”

"Boy, I think you've been beaten stupid by those thirty killing sticks." The old voice said again.

"Thirty? How do I remember that I was over fifty before I fell unconscious. Shen Yan's tone seemed a little uncertain.

"Luo Tou, who is that kid who dragged in just now, and let you send it in person." The words that came not far from outside the cell made Shen Yan and the old man's voices fall silent.

"Xiao Wu, this kid offended Ma Catch them a few days ago, and after committing a murder today, he came to the mansion and thought about seeing Fu Yin, is Lord Song so easy to see, besides, the master of the book has confessed, and there is a chance to put this kid to death, and then hang a random charge." Luo Tou was in a good mood and explained with a smile.

"What Luo Tou said is that this kid broke one of the legs of Ma Zhukuai and others a few days ago, damn, dare to be so fierce, look at me if I don't put him to death." Xiao Wu had a flattering smile on his face, "Don't worry, Luo Tou, this kid will be handed over to me to deal with, and I promise to satisfy Luo Tou." ”

"Xiao Wu, you do things, I am still relieved." Luo Tou smiled and walked away.

"Boy, it's not bad, dare to break the legs of these eagle dog claws." The old man's voice was silent for a moment, as if he couldn't help but be lonely or idle and panicked and sounded in Shen Yan's ears.

"Old man, how can I have such great ability, if I had, how could I end up like this." Shen Yan endured the pain on his body, slowly supported his body, raised his head and carefully looked at the old man in front of him who looked sloppy and his long hair covered his face.

"Old man, am I old?" The old man's voice seemed to have stepped on a landmine, and he jumped up violently, his rapid movements did not look like an elderly person at all, he was more flexible than ordinary young people, his expression was serious, and his eyes were sharp and staring at Shen Yan.

"You're not an old man, it's rare that you're a young man." Shen Yan was a little hairy by the other party's sharp eyes, but when he thought of the situation in front of him, he was afraid of what he would do.

"Old man, old man, yes, I've been here for thirteen years, and I think I've been on the rivers and lakes for nearly twenty years, and I'm really an old man." The old man's voice seemed to be a little crazy, and he said to himself stupidly.

"Old man, are you alright?" Shen Yan was really afraid that the person in front of him would suddenly go crazy, so he hurriedly asked softly.

"Boy, do you know who the old man is?" The old voice asked abruptly.

"I don't know if you kid, I think when the old man was in the rivers and lakes, you kid didn't know where it was." Seeing a confused look flashing in Shen Yan's eyes, the old man's voice suddenly became stern, he gently brushed away the long hair that covered his face, and a sharp light appeared in his eyes, staring at Shen Yan coldly, "Say, who sent you, you didn't hesitate to play bitter tricks to win the old man's sympathy." ”

"Old man, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, who are you, why are you here, I don't know at all, and I'm not interested in knowing, don't be nervous." Shen Yan originally felt sympathy for the old man in front of him who was crazy and normal, but the other party's demeanor was obviously pretended, and he was also a very storytelling.

"You really don't know who the old man is, and he wasn't sent by someone else to win the old man's sympathy?" The old man's sharp eyes stared coldly at Shen Yan for a while, and found that Shen Yan's eyes showed a hint of clarity, which made the old man doubt his judgment a little, "Are you really not sent by them, or have they given up on getting what they want from me?" ”

"Old man, stop muttering, I don't even know who you are?" Shen Yan once again made it clear that he didn't know him at all.

"The old man is a well-known thief." The old man's eyes showed a hint of nostalgia, as if he was recalling the glory of the past.
