104, synod

Jiang Heng rode a horse and left Xinzhou with Ru Sanshui, and when he passed through Ningguofu on the second day, he received two henchmen. Those two people, Ru Sanshui, had seen it, and had rushed to Hongze Lake with her.

In fact, Yinglinju is in the territory of Ningguo Mansion, but Ru Sanshui will not take people who live without permission to go up the mountain, otherwise she will send the two children directly to the mountain gate, why send them to Xinzhou.

In order not to let the Baijiang family be unfavorable to her, Jiang Heng finally chose to go to Yingtianfu to form an alliance with Ruan Hongque, which is equivalent to taking an official path, and the official family always has to give three points.

When they arrived at Yingtianfu Ruan's Mansion in the evening, Jiang Heng came to visit alone.

Ruan Hongque seems to have returned to the mansion not long ago, and he also looks like a dusty man. Although the time of the visit was not right, he never had a different color when he saw Jiang Heng, and invited him to the main hall.

After sitting down, Ruan Hongque's words were a little reproachful: "I have been running errands outside, and I was not in Yingtianfu when the Liang family had an accident. When the imperial court is first established, even if it can't embarrass you deep-rooted forces for a while, you can't openly slaughter a family under the emperor's nose?"

Jiang Heng replied: "We never wanted to do this, because someone deliberately spread the blame on the heads of various families, and used the law not to blame the public, so as to get away with the crime." ”

"Who?"

Jiang Heng hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "Bai family, Bai Yige." Whether there is still someone behind him to support him, it is not clear for the time being. ”

Ruan Hongque didn't believe it very much: "I heard that the news is that all of your families have sent people to crusade, are you sure that the only murderer is Bai Yige?"

Ruan Hongque thought about it for a while: "I remember that it was Bai Yige who escorted the Liang family to Ying Tianfu at the beginning, why did he pay homage first and then kill?"

Jiang Heng: "I respected it before, because the Liang family and the Bai family have been friends for hundreds of years. And then killed, because Chen Lin was born and died, the things they touched their hands, the flaws exposed, they could no longer use Chen Linsheng as a rhetoric, and they needed to have a scapegoat who would always shut up. ”

Ruan Hongque: "What does Chen Linsheng need to block the arrow? It seems that what he has in his hands is not a good thing." Do you have conclusive evidence?"

Jiang Heng: "The difficulty is that there is no evidence. ”

The two of them were silent for a moment, and Ruan Hongque asked, "I don't know why you came to visit, so that I can help you find out about this matter?"

Jiang Heng said: "Don't dare to bother for the time being, I came today to ask for a shelter." ”

Shen Rongknee suddenly walked from the back hall to the front, with hot air on his body and soaphorn incense, probably just bathed and changed.

"Young Master of the Jiang family, the future head of the family, needs the protection of the Ruan family?"

Jiang Heng got up, greeted each other with Shen Rongkne, and responded, "I'm ashamed." ”

Ruan Hongque: "I can probably guess...... As for the matter of Xiao Sanniang, I only heard the news this afternoon. You've chosen to be on the same side as her, that's why you need me to provide shelter, right?"

Jiang Heng nodded: "Ruan Shao is right. ”

Shen Rongknee said happily: "She's here too, where is she?"

Jiang Heng looked into the courtyard. The sun had just set, the moon had just risen, and under the white fruit tree in the courtyard, the shade of the tree actually moved, gradually spreading outward, as if the darkness that could not be illuminated by the moon gave birth to its own wisdom, and wanted to encroach on the light in turn.

When the pitch-black mist was separated from the shade of the tree, they realized that it was not the shade of the tree that had moved its position, it was Ru Sanshui's soul body.

In the midst of the chaos, she suddenly opened a pair of eyes, and the mist converged into hair and clothes, but her body was still in an ethereal state.

Shen Rong covered his heart: "You are already very white, and you don't look like a living person when your eyes are dark, don't be scared in the middle of the night, okay?"

Ru Sanshui: "Go directly to the door during the day, in front of everyone, it is difficult for Ruan Gongzi to refuse." We want to get consent first. ”

Ruan Hongque replied: "I agree." You can be my distant cousin and live in my private house for a while, but I can't keep it a secret for long. ”

Ru Sanshui smiled slightly: "Thank you." ”

Shen Rongknee looked back and forth: "You are his sister, what about Jiang Heng?"

Jiang Heng: "I'll ......"

Ru Sanshui replied decisively: "His brother-in-law." ”

Jiang Heng reacted: "Ah......" and then nodded in response: "Hmm." ”

Ruan Hongque smiled when he heard this. Shen Rongknee rolled his eyes: "Tooth soreness." ”

Ru Sanshui stuck out his tongue at Shen Rong's knee: "Hey, jealous." ”

"But you can't be here, I have a mansion in Taiyuan Prefecture, Zhili, and I can ask Shen Rongknee to send you there for refuge. ”

The next day, Ru Sanshui really dressed up as a young lady, covered her face with a hat, and waited outside the city.

Shen Rong drove the carriage out of the city and took the two of them to Jurong County, Taiyuan Prefecture. Jiang Heng's two henchmen followed from a distance.

Although this small county town belongs to Zhili, it is not particularly rich, but it is also quiet.

Jiang Heng did his best to treat his wife, lifted the corner of her skirt and got into the car before leaving, held her hand in the place, and let her get off the carriage with her feet.

Ru San is used to riding horses every day, even if she rides in the carriage, she jumps off, and she hasn't gotten out of the carriage so tactfully for a long time, but she is awkward. But the neighbors can see that she lives in the name of a distant cousin, and this scene has to be done enough.

The house is not big, only a little bigger than the Yuelu in Ru Sanshui, and it is said that Ruan Hongque once lived in it, and it has been abandoned for two or three years.

Shen Rongknee said that it was deserted, but Ru Sanshui looked at it well. was looking around, and suddenly an old man came out.

"Young Master Shen, this is ......"

"Oh, your master's distant cousin, and her ...... Husband, I'm going to stay here for a while. ”

The old man smiled: "It's the young lady who came, and the old slave didn't go to meet him from afar, the house was not cleaned up, there was no good food, and the number of gifts to catch the wind was not ......."

Ru Sanshui asked him to stop: "No need, thank you for your kindness, just have a place for us to rest." ”

In the next half hour, Ru Sanshui saw that the old man was very diligently busy, going in and out, and he was still very festive.

But whenever Ru Sanshui wants to pour a cup of tea by himself, the old man will rush up: "Let the old slave do it! Let the old slave serve you!"

Ru Sanshui is not unseen, although the Liang family's family business in the early years is not as good as the Bai family today, the house is also larger than the Jiang family, and servants are indispensable, but one side is sincere to pay, and the other side is respectful.

It was the first time she had touched such a passionate and joyful slave, as if his hobby was to serve people.

But when Ru Sanshui looked at him carefully, he felt that something was wrong, so he called the old man over, and a ray of soul mist wrapped around his wrist.

The old man's eyes were not good, and he looked at it for a long time: "Miss will still take the pulse!"

Ru Sanshui probed for a moment: "Old man, you are sick, go down and rest, I don't need anyone to serve here." ”

"Then what is it! These things must not be left to the young lady to do. ”

Ru Sanshui held his forehead: "This is my order, go and rest." ”

Since he was so respectful, he couldn't help but listen to his orders, the old man answered twice, and retreated backwards: "The old slave won't disturb the young master." ”

Finally quieted down, Ru Sanshui sighed, and said to Shen Rongkne, "Next time, the young envoy will call him." The old man didn't look very old, but his days were running out after he was a little sick, and he could enjoy some more days of happiness if he rested more. ”
