Chapter 67: Piercing the Window Paper
After Pei Yuan returned to the capital, he always remembered the matter of Lin Zhizhou mentioned by Xu Feng in his heart, but at that time, he was focused on controlling the floods, and the time was in a hurry, so he didn't go over to check it out, but now after he came back, he wanted to bring up this matter again.
Now that the secret contest between him and the emperor has been brought to the fore, if this matter is brought up by him, I am afraid that the emperor will not only not send ministers to investigate the case, but will also block it more.
The so-called big tree mentioned by Xu Feng, he hasn't been able to find out which big Buddha in the palace it is.
After thinking about it for a long time, Pei Yuan finally went to Shen Xiang's mansion, and after Shen Xiang heard all the beginnings and ends, Gu was shocked: "An ordinary Zhizhou can disregard the king's law in such a vain, if he is allowed to climb up again, wouldn't it be that there will be more people in the dawn who will be harmed." ”
"This king thinks the same way, so he is in a hurry to find Shen Xiang to explain this matter, although this king is a royal officer, but the more he has this identity, the more he is constrained, and it is even more difficult to find the big tree behind the scenes, so he will come to Shen Xiang for help." Pei Yuan looked at Shen Xiang with a helpless expression.
"Shen Xiang has many students, and he is also an official above Zhizhou, there is no need to let the palace send someone to this matter, as long as Lin Zhizhou's top boss goes down to check, he must be able to understand everything clearly, I heard that their family is used to being domineering, and they don't know how to converge at all, if they go to the peak, they will report the big tree behind them." This was something Pei Yuan had considered in the house, and instead of transferring officials from the capital to investigate the case, it was better to solve the matter nearby.
Shen Xiang couldn't help but glance up at Pei Yuan, this had already been said to Mingli, if he had the heart to deal with King Xian, I was afraid that he would already be able to catch his words, but his eyes were full of sincerity, but he expected that he would be on his side.
With a slight bow, Shen Xiang nodded and agreed to the matter: "Such an evil official is simply a moth in the court, as the prime minister of this dynasty, it is incumbent on him to pull out the moth, and the prince can rest assured that he will hand over this matter to the old man." ”
"In this way, this king will thank Shen Xiang, if there is a place where this king can help in the future, Shen Xiang will say that it is okay." Pei Yuan got up and arched his hand.
After getting up to say goodbye and leaving, before leaving, Pei Yuan couldn't help but want to take a look at Shen Jiahe, although they had only been separated for a short time, as long as he thought that they were close now, he would not move outside.
But just as she was about to fly to her yard, she saw her dressed as a man and Bai Wei, who was also dressed as a man, sneakily walking towards the back door.
Pei Yuan's face darkened suddenly, shouldn't this girl be going to the Qinglou again, and was about to call her, but when the name was about to blurt out, she was swallowed back by herself.
What if you don't go to the Qinglou but somewhere else? Pei Yuan was full of curiosity for a while, seeing that the person was gone, he jumped directly onto the roof, and after finding the figure, he quietly followed.
Shen Jiahe stopped in front of a small courtyard with blue bricks and tiles, Pei Yuan was afraid that he would be discovered, so he hid in the alley, and after hearing Shen Jiahe's knocking on the door, he immediately raised his mind and listened carefully.
A male voice answered the door, sounding similar to his age, Pei Yuan couldn't help frowning deeply, but he was worried that he would be seen, Pei Yuan didn't dare to go out for a while to see who the other party was.
"I thought you weren't coming, we really had to go out." Zhou Qian opened the door and saw that it was Shen Jiahe who hurriedly welcomed her in, and then looked outside to see that there was no one before closing the door for you.
Bai Wei glanced at him curiously, a little scared in her heart: "Someone is following us?" ”
Zhou Qian shook his head, and only after catching up with Shen Jiahe did he reply: "Isn't this afraid that people will see that there is a little girl in my courtyard!" ”
Bai Wei laughed very shamelessly, and Zhou Qian ignored her, and only went to the house to prepare to pack up her things.
"Where are you going?" Shen Jiahe looked at him and counted the silver and asked.
Zhou Qian put the counted silver into his arms, picked up a dozen paper money and put it into a cloth bag: "Didn't you ask me to help her father bury her father in the ground, we are going to do this." The coffin shop in the west of the city has already finished the coffin, and I will find a few young laborers to dig the pit later. ”
Shen Jiahe nodded, thought of something and instructed: "Then don't be too troublesome, go back and make a good Fa for her father, and recite some kind of death mantra or something." ”
The girl in the middle of the room hurriedly ran out after hearing the sound of the conversation between the two, and after seeing Shen Jiahe, she still had to kneel down and thank her, and was helped up by Shen Jiahe: "Don't kneel at every turn, I'll make you kneel and die, get up quickly." ”
"But Miss, I'm ...... I really can't repay it. The girl was helped by Shen Jiahe to sit down on the side, and her eyes turned red as she spoke.
Shen Jiahe comforted: "After this incident, you can make a good living, maybe I can really use your help in the future, as long as you are good, I feel that everything is worth it." ”
Zhou Qian was still in a hurry to take the girl to help her bury her father, and Shen Jiahe didn't stay longer, but after explaining everything, he said goodbye to Zhou Qian and prepared to go back.
Their carriage stopped outside the workshop, and the two of them had to walk out of here to get into the carriage, not wanting to meet Pei Yuan passing by when they just came out of an alley.
Pei Yuan had been waiting on the road she had to pass, and after seeing her coming from a distance, he pretended not to care and came out to have a chance encounter with her, but in fact, he had been going back and forth in place many times.
"What a coincidence, what are you doing here?" Shen Jiahe smiled and stepped forward to greet him.
Pei Yuan also replied with a smile: "Yes, what a coincidence, I came to visit a friend, but I didn't expect to meet you." ”
"Xinyuan Pavilion has a new batch of excellent seafood, I'll take you to taste it." Without waiting for Shen Jiahe to speak again, Pei Yuan took her into the carriage by himself, and then instructed the coachman to drive to Xinyuan Pavilion in the east of the city.
Pei Yuan was familiar with the way, and he didn't need the restaurant guy to lead the way, so he took Shen Jiahe to the private room upstairs, Shen Jiahe looked at him like he was in his own home, and couldn't help asking, "Are you familiar with this place?" ”
Pei Yuan nodded, then pushed open the door of the innermost box, and let Shen Jiahe in before replying: "In addition to Piaoxiang Building, it is Xinyuan Pavilion that has the most, this is the best private room here, if it weren't for the old customers, it wouldn't be able to book." ”
After ordering the food, it would take a while to serve the food, Pei Yuan first sent all the people in the house back, and even Bai Wei was kicked out by him, Shen Jiahe looked at him strangely: "Do you have something to tell me?" ”
Pei Yuan suddenly stared at Shen Jiahe, his face was rare and serious in front of her: "Who is the man you saw today?" ”
Shen Jiahe was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he had just come back from Zhou Qian: "You mean Zhou Qian?" ”
Pei Yuan's eyes were deep, he had never heard the name Zhou Qian, when did Jiahe meet this man, so he asked patiently: "What is the relationship between the two of you?" What does this guy named Zhou Qian do? ”
Shen Jiahe looked at him like this, and couldn't help but tease him: "You said that him, the relationship with me is extraordinary, you don't understand, anyway, I am looking for him to do something today." ”
Pei Yuan only felt as if he was being held by a small hand in his heart, which made him breathless: "Looking for him to do something?" Is there anything else I can't do in this capital, if you don't come to me for something, you go to find another man? ”
"It's said that our relationship is extraordinary, what's wrong with me looking for him?" Shen Jiahe looked at Pei Yuan, who was suddenly stunned, and suddenly leaned forward and looked into his eyes: "What?" You're jealous! ”
The tips of Pei Yuan's ears instantly reddened, he glared at Shen Jiahe, he really didn't know how to answer, and Shen Jiahe also regretted it a little as soon as he asked this, seeing that the other party had a black face, he couldn't tell whether he was shy or angry.
For a while, even the air in the room seemed to stop flowing, and Shen Jiahe really couldn't stand this embarrassing and dull atmosphere, so he had to take the initiative to confess: "Do you remember the last time Qin Xiaoshuang found a master to come to get rid of demons?" ”
Pei Yuan didn't know why Shen Jiahe mentioned this matter again, so he only nodded and looked at her suspiciously, Shen Jiahe had no choice but to continue: "Zhou Qian is that master. ”
"Because he helped me, I helped him out of the siege, and afterwards he calculated that I was the reincarnation of Zi Weixing, and he had to make friends with me. But Pei Yuan, you care about me so much, it's really like a conscientious elder, worried that the junior will go astray. Shen Jiahe couldn't help but be happy again.
Pei Yuan's face darkened again: "What nonsense, we are peers, and we will ...... in the future"
But what do you want? He didn't continue, Shen Jiahe only felt that something was about to come out, and her cheeks climbed up a hint of rose, which looked even more coquettish under the rays of sunlight that came through the window paper.
Pei Yuan looked at the crimson, as if he was bewitched, he couldn't help but get closer and closer, Shen Jiahe suddenly thought of something, and was about to turn his head to ask, when he saw Pei Yuan's enlarged handsome face about to stick to the tip of his nose.
She couldn't help but shake it, Pei Yuan clasped her slender waist with one hand, and then brought the person in front of her, that touch of rose color turned crimson, Pei Yuan finally couldn't help it, and began to follow his heart, attaching his thin lips to that touch of softness.
The soft touch made Shen Jiahe's whole body stiff, and Pei Yuan's breath was sprayed directly on both sides of her nose, making her cheeks seem to burn, and the soft touch on her lips became more and more breathtaking, making people can't help but want to indulge in it.
It wasn't until there was a knock on the door that it was a young man from the restaurant who came up to deliver the food, that Pei Yuan let go of his hand, naturally sorted out her clothes, and then sat down seriously and tasted tea.
Only Shen Jiahe didn't know the taste of the food he ate for a meal, and from time to time he was worried that Pei Yuan would sneak attack again, but fortunately, Bai Wei came in to serve her dinner, and Pei Yuan didn't have this opportunity.
Bai Wei found that Miss was very wrong today, she didn't eat much at noon, and when she came back, she was also in a daze, she would sit in the carriage in a daze, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.
"Miss, are you okay, are you still worried about the girl who was placed in Master Zhou, I think Master Zhou will definitely be able to take care of her." Bai Ying looked at Shen Jiahe with some unease.
Shen Jiahe shook her head, she raised her hand and touched her lips, the heat there had dissipated, but she still felt a trace of burning sensation, as if she was going to burn directly into her heart.
What is this? Confession or temptation? Shen Jiahe shook his head desperately and withdrew his thoughts.
After entering the mansion, he wanted to take Bai Wei to the garden of the mansion to relax, but Shen Jiahe heard Shen Xiang's scolding from the main hall.
