Volume 1 Chapter 41 Murder on the back
In the mansion, there was a mess now, and Shen Ruoting didn't have a chance to interject at all, so he simply sat down and drank two cups of tea.
waited until a few people were tired of arguing, Shen Ruoting walked in front of the prefect, took out a silver ticket and stuffed it into the prefect's hand, and Governor Liu hurriedly pushed it over,
"Lord Shen, by all means."
"Your Excellency, take it." Shen Ruoting stuffed it again, and when he saw that the prefect had accepted it, he asked, "Is there someone who has confessed to today's murder or not?" ”
Governor Liu replied with a smile, "Don't hide it from Lord Shen, someone from the Chengwang Mansion came to investigate it today." The reason for this must be clear to Lord Shen. ”
Shen Ruoting really guessed correctly, although he had a contract with Cheng Shizi, but the border matter was a national matter, how could he let Cheng Shizi do anything wrong.
"Lord Liu is afraid that he is a little stupid, if something happens in the border battle because of the greed of the prefect, then how can he explain to the emperor at that time."
Seeing that Shen Ruoting was still not interested, Governor Liu's face changed instantly, "Lord Shen is just a fifth-grade civil official in the court, so let's leave with interest, the affairs here are not something you can manage." ”
In the face of Governor Liu's sneering, Shen Ruoting's pair of noble phoenix eyes regained their bright color, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gave people alienation.
"Since Governor Liu is so disproportionate, then don't be polite." After speaking, Shen Ruoting's eyes suddenly turned cold.
Although Shen Ruoting has an average official position in the court, he is a member of the Guogong Mansion after all, and the Shen family has a lot of wealth, and no one dares not to give him face.
Governor Liu was a little weak when Shen Ruoting saw it, but he clearly remembered that Cheng Shizi came to tell him yesterday that he must not let go of Yuan Chu today, no matter who came, thinking of this, he came to several people and commanded sharply,
"What's the noise, put Yuan Chutian in prison first."
"There is no evidence, why does Lord Liu want to detain me." Yuan Chutian regretted it very much at this time, he shouldn't have listened to Chang Qinghan's words in the early morning, so that he was framed.
Lord Liu raised his eyebrows, and his cloudy eyes glared, "This is the prefect, how to solve the case, Lord Ben has the final say." After speaking, he waved his hand to let him take him away, and then walked up to the three young ladies, and smiled flatteringly,
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's hurry back to the house, let's stop today's matter for the time being, and tomorrow I will trouble you ladies to come to the mansion to testify."
"That's nature." Often light and refreshing.
Lin Junyue and Tan Xinxia glanced at each other, and Tan Xinxia said quietly, "Lord Liu, although we are with us, we really didn't see the situation at that time, and I hope that the prefect will not look for us again." ”
Hearing this, Governor Liu thought to himself for a while, and there was still a flattering smile on his face, "If the evidence is found today, it will naturally not trouble you ladies anymore." ”
"Then we'll go." The smile on the corner of Lin Junyue's mouth was a little sparse.
As soon as the three of them walked out of the mansion with different expressions, Lin Junyue showed displeasure, and said to Chang Qinghan, "You deliberately pulled us here today, right?" I'm afraid even your handmaid's death was planned by you, right?! ”
"Yes, I heard my father say that Yuan Chutian will leave for the border tomorrow, why did such a thing happen today, if my father and mother know, they will definitely go back and count me." Tan Xinxia's delicate and elegant facial features showed regret at this time.
When Chang Qinghan heard this, he stomped his feet angrily, "The prefect didn't say everything, he just handled this matter, and it has nothing to do with you." ”
"Who doesn't know that this Liu Governor is two-faced and three-faced, if something really happens, Xinxia and I won't look for you again in the future." Lin Junyue's delicate red lips pursed tightly, and after speaking, she pulled Tan Xinmu away.
Staying in place, the slightly heroic face unexpectedly showed a vicious and ruthless look.
Lin Junyue and Tan Xinxia walked away, and then muttered again, "Xinxia, I'm afraid this matter has spread all over the capital today, how can we tell our father and mother when we go back." ”
Tan Xinxia patted Lin Junyue's hand, "You go back first and say it's uncomfortable." When I go home and ask my mother, she loves me the most and has the most means, so you can wait for my news. ”
"Doesn't your mother blame you?" Lin Junyue was envious.
"Well, since I was a child, my mother never said anything about my big brother and I, but she would tell us how to learn a lesson next time, and I never hid it from my mother when my eldest brother and I did." The smile on the corner of Tan Xinxia's mouth was like a hibiscus quietly blooming out of water.
Lin Junyue tugged at the corners of her mouth, "Mrs. Tan is so good." ”
And after Shen Ruoting left the mansion in white clothes, he came to Chengwang's mansion, and he was already sitting in the main hall of the summer garden drinking tea.
Cheng Jiannian's moon-like eyes are deep and thorough, as if he can see people invisibly, "Shen Gongzi never took the initiative to find this son, how can he have time to come over today." ”
Shen Ruoting put down the teacup heavily, and his tone was extremely unkind, "Cheng Jianian, sending troops to the Huns is a big deal, how can you treat it as child's play because of personal grudges." ”
Hearing this, Cheng Jianian's handsome facial features sank, "What does Shen Gongzi mean by this?" ”
"I don't believe you don't know what happened in Gaoyuan Building today, so that Yuan Chutian was burdened with the murder. Tomorrow you will travel alone with the troops, but have you ever thought that you can win the battle as a pampered son, if Yuan Chutian is there, he can also help you deal with the enemy army! Shen Ruoting's tone became heavier and heavier.
On the contrary, Cheng Jianian looked indifferent, "Shen Gongzi didn't forget, I have half of the blood of the Huns in my body, how can they hurt me." The tone turned slightly, revealing a bit of ridicule,
"Isn't it that Shen Gongzi is calm down for the sake of the Yuxi County Lord."
Shen Ruoting stood up suddenly, "The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and it is a bit too much for the prince to say this." ”
Cheng Jianian walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I've already taken care of everything on the Huns' side, and the war is just for show." Isn't the purpose to be able to collect some military power? ”
Seeing this, Shen Ruoting also knew that he was afraid that he would return in vain today, so he could only bow his head, "Since this is the case, then I will retire." ”
"Hey, it's hard to come to the house, it's not too early, I should also treat you well." Cheng Jianian didn't wait for Shen Ruoting to answer, so he waved his hand and ordered his subordinates, "Tell the stove room to fry a few more good dishes, and then bring me the aged wine." ”
Shen Ruoting couldn't refuse, so he had to respond.
And in the Bangyun Pavilion of the County Lord's Mansion, Yin Yuxi was waiting for news with Luan Mo, when he saw Leng Xi walking in, Yin Yuxi's face was happy, "What's wrong?" ”
Leng Xi replied respectfully: "Gongzi said that Chengwangfu has taken care of everything, I'm afraid that I won't be able to save Yuan Gongzi for the time being."
Hearing this, the faces of the two of them changed, and Yin Yuxi also knew that if the Chengwang Mansion deliberately made a point, I am afraid that even the original Taifu would not be able to do it, but now the only Luan Yi that Yin Yuxi could think of was not in the capital.
"Where did your fourth brother go?"
Luan Mo bit her lip and said after a moment, "Fourth brother said to go to Huayin Villa." ”
"Okay, I'll go find him myself." Yin Yuxi thought about it and said directly.
"County Lord! It was already dark, and Huayin Villa had to wait for an hour, which was too dangerous. "Jue Xiao knows that the county lord values love and righteousness, but Huayin Villa is located in a remote mountain range, and it is dark and secluded, so no one is at ease.
Luan Mo didn't expect it, and hurriedly persuaded her, "Yes, Yuxi, I'll go with you early in the morning, it's too dangerous to travel tonight." ”
"No, the army will set off early tomorrow morning, I must see Luan Yi before the army leaves, and I must rescue Yuan Chutian." Yinyuxi has made up her mind, and no one can stop her,
"Yindong, you go and prepare two horses, you go with me."
Yindong arched his fist, and his voice was sharp, "Yes, county lord." ”
Luan Mo was very grateful to Yin Yuxi in her heart, "Yuxi, today's incident has nothing to do with you, but you are for me...... I really don't know how to thank you. Why don't you marry to Luanfu, how about I serve you for a few days? ”
Yin Yuxi only laughed at Luan Mo again, "You will make fun of me, so I won't marry Luan Yi." ”
"Hey, I didn't say I wanted you to marry the fourth brother, my second, third, and fifth brothers are all good." Luan Mo looked carefully at Yin Yuxi's expression.
Yin Yuxi hurriedly waved his hand and deliberately opened the topic, "It's important that we get down to business." He also instructed Yinbei, "You send Miss Luan back to Luan Mansion safely." ”
"Yes, County Lord."
Luan Mo stepped forward and put away her joke, "Then you must be careful, I'll wait for your news." ”
Yin Yuxi nodded solemnly and walked out.
The night was slightly cool, but there was no light in the vast night sky, and as soon as Yin Yuxi rode out of the capital, he fell into darkness.
An hour later, the two horses approached Huayin Villa, and the guards saw that it was the lord of Yuxi, and hurriedly knelt down to carry their luggage.
"I want to see Luan Yi, take me to see him quickly." Yin Yuxi went straight to the point, and her tone was awe-inspiring.
"Yes, the county lord comes with me." The guard opened the vermilion gate, walked through the two arches with silver jade breath, entered a courtyard, and pointed to the room with the lights on, "Lord Luan is inside." ”
Yinyu eased her breath and asked in a low voice, "The emperor has already rested, right?" ”
"Don't worry, the county lord is resting elsewhere." After the guard finished speaking, he arched his fist and left.
Yin Yuxi turned his head sideways and instructed Yin Dong, "You wait outside." He walked over by himself.
When it was already close to Zi, it was really cool, and Yin Yuxi walked up the stone steps, stretched out his hand to push the door open, and then remembered that he had forgotten to knock on the door.
I didn't want to be at this moment, the figure shook, and the fan hit her throat directly, but fortunately, Luan Yi reacted quickly, and when she saw that it was Yinyuxi, she suddenly withdrew the fan.
"How are you?!" There was both surprise and joy in his tone.
Yin Yuxi was so frightened that she came back to her senses slightly, "What, do you think it's an assassin?" ”
Luan Yi smiled charmingly, "The only one who wants to come to my room is the flower thief." As he spoke, he motioned for Yin Yuxi to come into the room, turned around and closed the door.
"You came looking for me in the middle of the night, did you miss me?"
Yin Yuxi pursed his lips, this guy really can't spit out ivory from his mouth, "Naturally, there are important things." You don't know, today Yuan Chutian was framed and was murdered. ”
After a while, Luan Yi guessed a few points, only to see his charming black eyes as calm as a demon, and there was no surprise at all, "Because of this, you rushed to see me overnight?" ”
