Shen Bin got the news that the newly arrived prefect of Zhenjiang and Lin Yuan were coming, and he was ready early in the morning and waited at home. Seeing that the next person came in to report that the distinguished guest was almost there, Shen Bin straightened his clothes and walked out. The time was just right, and the carriage had just stopped at the door.

Shen Bin greeted him with a smile on his face and said with a smile: "It is really a blessing for my Shen family that the prefect can come to the cold house. ”

Shen Lian smiled and said, "Shen Gongzi, don't be angry, when this official arrived in Yangzhou, I heard that your Shen family is a famous and kind family in Zhenjiang Mansion. You are also a good friend of the Yasukuni Prince, so you don't need to be so polite. ”

Shen Bin smiled and didn't say anything, Shen Lian just listened to these words, he didn't dare to hold it up. Turning sideways and making a gesture to invite in, Shen Bin took Lin Yuan and the two into the house.

The Shen family has been dealing in medicinal materials for generations, and they have been in Zhenjiang Mansion for some years, and they dare not say that they can't spend enough money, but they are also a wealthy family. This time, I went through prison, and although I scattered a lot of my family wealth, I was fortunate to keep the mansion. After several generations of continuous repairs, the Shen family's mansion is not too small.

As soon as the three of them sat down, Shen Bin asked, "Lord Shen came here today, but what's the matter?" ”

Shen Lian nodded and said, "I can't hide it, I met Mrs. Zun when I was in the capital, and I talked about your Shen family's case in detail." Hearing that Shen Lian had met with his wife before he came, Shen Bin said: "Lord Lao still remembers the Shen family's case, but now the case is over." ”

"I don't think so." Shen Lian said.

Shen Bin frowned and wondered, "What do you mean by adult?" If the confession is retracted, my Shen family really can't afford to toss. Shen Bin really didn't want to continue, he thought that Shen Lian was trying to let his Shen family retract his confession, so as to bring down the Xue family.

Seeing that Shen Bin seemed to have misunderstood what he meant, Shen Lian smiled and said, "Shen Gongzi misunderstood, this official didn't mean that." Your Shen family has been operating in Zhenjiang for many years, you should know better than me what kind of character the Xue family is, do you think he will let you go so lightly? What's more, the things haven't arrived yet. ”

Shen Bin twisted his eyebrows thinking about Shen Lian's words, thinking about the methods of the Xue family since he came to Zhenjiang Mansion, and his face turned pale. Seeing Shen Bin's face deteriorate, Lin Yuan asked, "What's wrong?" Shen Bin shook his head and signaled that he was fine.

Lin Yuan was a little puzzled and looked at Shen Lian on the side. Shen Lian said: "In the fourth year of Qide, the Fu family of Zhenjiang Mansion, the family of poetry and books for generations, the eldest son of the family once served as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, but because the Fu family had an out-of-print ancient book, the Xue family could not buy it with a lot of money after seeing it, so they used some means to cause the Fu family to be dismissed and imprisoned, and then the Xue family played the court and said that the Fu family had banned books and intended to rebel. Jingzhong sent someone to investigate the case in detail, but because of the influence of the Xue family, the person who investigated the case lied about the case, causing the palace to issue an order to exterminate the Fu family. ”

Lin Yuan was shocked when he heard this, this Xue family is also vicious, and he has ruined everyone for the sake of this book, and after looking at Shen Bin with a bitter face, Lin Yuan snorted coldly: "I want to see if my knife is fast or his Xue family's knife is fast." ”

"The Duke of Yasukuni is going to the door, and the Xue family can only endure it, but what about you leaving Zhenjiang? They have a lot of means, and I am afraid that when the time comes, the Duke of Yasukuni will come to be the prefect of Zhenjiang. Shen Lian smiled.

Lin Yuan sighed, how could he have been guarding Jiangnan, looking at Shen Bin, Lin Yuan said: "You tell Lord Shen everything you know, he is an expert in dealing with the Xue family." ”

"Xie Jingguo praised it." Shen Lian said with a smile.

Shen Bin sighed, organized his words, and then said slowly: "That painting is not my Shen family's heirloom. Shen Bin's first sentence made Shen Lian frown.

"Thirteen years ago, when there was a great drought in the north, many people fled to the south, and that morning my father was about to go out, and saw a man fainting at the door of my Shen house. The man gave the painting to his father, saying that he was grateful for his life-saving grace. My father took the painting away in order to reassure him, intending to return it to him when he had recovered from his injuries. Shen Bin said.

"Did Master Shen know anything strange about this painting at that time?" Shen Lian asked.

Shen Bin shook his head and said: "I don't know, but after a while, after the rescued person recovered, he had a secret conversation with my father, I don't know the specific content, but after my father came out, he put away the painting, and then my father was drunk and inadvertently said that this painting had turned his hand three times before, and every family was wiped out." ”

When Shen Lian heard this, he frowned, the disaster of extermination? Looking at Shen Bin, Shen Lian then asked, "With such an end, why did Master Shen still have that painting?" ”

"I didn't know, until one day, I accidentally entered the basement of my home, and after looking at the painting carefully, I felt something different." Shen Bin said.

"What did Shen Gongzi find?" Shen Lian hurriedly said, he had seen the painting and didn't find anything strange, and now that he heard that Shen Bin had news here, he was a little anxious.

Shen Bin glanced at Lin Yuan and saw him nodding, so he said: "There is a mezzanine in the painting, but the location is very small, in the part of the high mountain in the painting, I also looked at it many times before I found it, but I was caught by my father just after some discoveries, and he warned me to forget about it and not to mention it to outsiders." Shen Bin smiled bitterly, "I don't know if Xue Li suddenly fell in love with this painting, I don't know if he also knows the secret of this painting." ”

When Shen Lian heard that there was a mezzanine in the painting, he fell into deep thought, thought for a long time, looked up at Shen Bin, and asked, "I wonder if Shen Gongzi knows which family this painting was in before?" ”

"I don't know about this, but it's rumored to be in the Shaanxi and Gansu areas." Shen Bin shook his head and said.

As if he suddenly remembered something, Shen Lian's eyes lit up. Lin Yuan, who was on the side, saw that Shen Lian's eyes were bright and scary, and asked, "Lord Shen, has you remembered something?" ”

Shen Lian laughed, and the confusion of many days was solved, and he looked at Lin Yuan and said, "Jingguo Gong, just wait, the Xue family is really not looking for death this time." ”

When Lin Yuan heard this, he asked with a smile, "What?" The Xue family wants to rebel? ”

Shen Lian was stunned for a moment, looked at Lin Yuandao, and said, "How does the Duke of Yasukuni know?" ”

Lin Yuan was stunned, he just said casually, how did he know that he would guess so accurately, he laughed dryly, and said, "Guess blindly, but why is Lord Shen sure that the Xue family will rebel?" ”

Shen Lian smiled mysteriously and said, "The matter is serious, and the lower officials still have to report to the court first." Turning his head to look at Shen Bin, "Do you Shen family want to escape this catastrophe?" ”

"Please make it clear." Shen Bin hurriedly said.

"You are repairing a book at the moment, and the Yasukuni Guild will send people to the capital quickly, and you need to tell Mrs. Zun that you want to cooperate with us in a play." Shen Lian said.

"My lordship tells me to do so, and I will write a letter." Shen Bin really wanted to end the matter soon.

"This matter is dangerous, you have to think clearly, after all, Mrs. Zun is still in Beijing." Shen Lian said.

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll inform Jingzhong and get ready." Lin Yuan said, Shen Bin glanced at Lin Yuan gratefully, Shen Lian nodded, and said, "With the presence of the Duke of Yasukuni, there must be no major incident." ”

"So...."Listening to Shen Lian's strategy, the three of them continued to improve it, and a huge net slowly opened up, quietly covering the Xue family's head, and Xue Li still didn't know anything at this moment.

In the capital, after staring at Luoxian Tower for a few days, Fu Qiuxue gradually figured out the time when Lin Jia entered and left the palace, but how to start became a problem. I'm not a dead soldier, and I still have to take paintings. This time is not enough at all, and I wonder if I should go into Luoxian Tower first and get the painting in my hands. Only in this way can you have a chance to complete the task.

Just thinking about the plan, Fu Qiuxue saw Shen Yue walking out of the Luoxian Building with a basket, after thinking about it, Fu Qiuxue quietly followed behind Shen Yue, these days he also suddenly found that Shen Yue went to the outer city almost every day, it was already the middle of winter, there were still some disaster victims from the south in the outer city, Shen Yue went there every day to help Shuntianfu work in the medical hall in the resettlement area.

"Miss Shen is here." The old doctor in the medical hall said with a smile.

"Well, Bai Lao, are you busy today?" Shen Yue responded with a smile.

"Fortunately, the victims have been resettled one after another, and there is no serious illness for a few days." The old man, who was called Bai Lao, said with a smile, Shen Yue, this girl, has been here to help during this time, which really saved him a lot of effort.

"You don't have to come every day, although it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but although there are not many victims at the moment, you are always a little unsafe as a woman." Bai Lao persuaded.

Shen Yue smiled without squeaking, stepped up the medicine box and said, "I'll go around first, I'll go back if it's okay." ”

Bai Lao sighed, knowing that he couldn't resist her, so he could only nod. Shen Yue walked towards the resettlement area with the medicine box on his shoulder, passing by a few people's houses, and many people greeted him even more, and Shen Yue also smiled and said hello. Fu Qiuxue saw it in her eyes, and she looked at Shen Yue a little highly.

Turning into a small alley, there were not many people here, Shen Yue walked a few steps and suddenly stopped, and said coldly: "Who?" Come out! "Fu Qiuxue is a little strange, she was discovered?

Who knows, a few people suddenly flashed out of the alley, and the leader of them had a lewd expression on his face, looked Shen Yue up and down, and said with a smile: "Hou San, you have a good eye." ”

"Big brother, when did I lie to you." The person who was called Hou San smiled flatteringly.

"It's a good good, and it sells for a lot of silver." The other said with a smile.

"Who are you?" Listening to the words of the three of them, Shen Yue lowered his face coldly, and his hand touched his waist.

"Don't be afraid, little lady, my brother is here to take you to a good place." The leader smiled and touched his hand to Shen Yue's face, Shen Yue frowned, drew his sword and stabbed out. The man dodged and retreated, frowned and said, "I can't see it, it's still a practicing family, and my brother I like to be strong." Brothers, come on! ”

Hou San and the others rushed up, a white ash was scattered, Shen Yue hurriedly covered his eyes, and when he looked up again, a net fell from the sky, Shen Yue was shocked and miscalculated.

Seeing that Shen Yue was caged by the net, the leader sneered: "What kind of master are you, Yang Li is not the master of eating ashes when you meet me?" As he spoke, he touched his hand to Shen Yue's face. Looking at the outstretched hand, Shen Yue was desperate for a while, and looked at Yang Li through gritted teeth.

A sound of breaking the air appeared behind him, and as soon as Yang Li turned around, he saw a stone flying towards him, smashing it on his hand, and under the pain, Yang Li shouted: "Who is it, give me out!" ”

Fu Qiuxue fell from the roof, looking at Fu Qiuxue's appearance, Shen Yue's eyes lit up, someone actually came to save him, Yang Li frowned and looked at Fu Qiuxue, and said fiercely: "Who is coming?" ”

"Passing by." Fu Qiuxue said lightly.

"Heh, do you mean to be a hero to save the United States?" Yang Li sneered.

"It's up to you how you explain it, it's just that I can't see it." Fu Qiuxue said.

"Then don't blame the master, I'm ruthless, give it to me!" Everyone rushed towards Fu Qiuxue, a few dodged the attacking sticks, Fu Qiuxue snatched the wooden stick from one person's hand and stabbed it back, only to hear a pop, the wooden stick passed through the person's shoulder, and the scene suddenly quieted down.

Everyone was a little stunned, they had only done the business of kidnapping people, when had they seen blood, Yang Li saw this, his heart sank, and he felt a box from his body, Shen Yue saw this, and shouted: "Be careful!" ”

Hearing only a slight sound, a few silver needles shot out of the box, Fu Qiuxue frowned, sideways dodge, didn't want to come too quickly or was shot by a silver needle, muffled, Fu Qiuxue's face instantly cooled, this is the second time he was injured, and quickly shot down a few people around him, Yang Li saw this, hurriedly fled from here, Fu Qiuxue chased after Yang Li, but he didn't take a few steps and fell to his knees, the silver needle was poisonous.

Shen Yue hurriedly took away the net on his body, hurriedly came to Fu Qiuxue's side, saw him faint, checked it, and then carried Fu Qiuxue with some difficulty and walked towards the medical hall.
