When the book is used, there is less hatred, and so is the connection. When it was time to use his relationship www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion, Shen Xi realized that although he had been an official for almost three years, he had no one who could help him at all.

"When did it happen, and how did the criminal department characterize it?" Shen Xi jumped into the carriage and asked Song Xiaocheng to go to the criminal department, and asked Hui Niang about the situation by the way.

Song Xiaocheng said: "Back to my lord, people have been locked in a cell for more than half a month, and it happened before the Mid-Autumn Festival. The criminal department said that it was under a thorough investigation and that the case had not yet been decided, but the industries under the hands of the big shopkeeper, including the industries that used to belong to our chariot and horse gang and the chamber of commerce, were confiscated by the imperial court, but fortunately, the adults let the villain sell some of the properties, leaving a little silver, but it was only three or four thousand taels ......."

When Hui Niang's net worth was the most abundant, all the working capital and property were combined, and there were about seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver, and now there are only three or four thousand taels left, which means that even the silver that the Zhou family deposited in Hui Niang in the past has been confiscated.

Together with Zhou Fatzi's original estate, it was also confiscated at this time. Shen Xi asked carefully and found out that even Zhou Fatzi was affected and was imprisoned by the Criminal Department.

"My lord, how are we doing now?" Even if Song Xiaocheng has outstanding ability, he is helpless in the face of the severe attack of the imperial court at this time, and can only hope for Shen Xi.

"I'll talk about it after I ask the criminal department about the situation. Things have to be thought out in the long run! ”

Shen Xi's face was grim. Originally, after the township test, he thought that he could relax for a few days and relax, but he didn't think that something would happen to Hui Niang in a blink of an eye, and Hui Niang clearly fell into a trap this time, otherwise how could it be so coincidental, she was arrested when she went to give gifts?

But why the imperial court suddenly wanted to attack Hui Niang, Shen Xi didn't know for the time being, but it was expected to be related to his offended relatives and the current lack of money and food in the imperial court.

The Yamen of the Criminal Department and other three legal divisions are all in the Fucaifang in the southwest of the city, walk west along the West Chang'an Street, and you can see several wide-open government office gates after passing the Xidan archway.

When he arrived at the Criminal Department, Shen Xi was blocked out of the gate by the official who stood on duty, and had to submit his name post, and it was only after a long time that a school inspector of the ninth grade came out, and asked in surprise: "Isn't Shen Yude presiding over the township examination?" I remember that the list was released yesterday, why did you come to the Criminal Department just after leaving the Tribute Academy? But on the orders of the emperor to handle the case? ”

"Never."

Shen Xi understood the rules, and took the ingot of silver in his sleeve and secretly handed it over on the occasion of the salute, "There is something I want to report to you." ”

Taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others, the inspection school of the Criminal Department did not refuse Shen Xi's overtures, and only after asking about the situation did he shake his head, and said: "This case is very important, and it is not something that can be involved by petty officials such as me, and Shen Yude should not be strong." ”

Shen Xi asked, "Then can I go to the prison to visit the prison?" ”

"This ...... The lower officials have to go to the upper officials to make a decision, and Shen Yude will come back early tomorrow morning. After the man finished speaking, he entered the gate of the criminal department without turning his head, and Shen Xi was helpless for a while.

"My lord, it seems ...... The big shopkeeper is more auspicious! Song Xiaocheng sang behind Shen Xi again.

Shen Xi angrily shouted: "The big shopkeeper Jiren has her own natural appearance, don't worry, I will definitely see her tomorrow!" ”

Shen Xi had no good solution, and it was getting late, and he began to rush to the doctor...... But who can help me now? Looking for Yu Niang may be suitable, but where does Yu Niang have the qualifications to communicate with the Criminal Department?

Liu Daxia and Ma Wensheng can speak, but who would ruin their reputation for a businessman or a widow?

As for Xie Qian, who is heavy on face, it is even more impossible!

However, a dead horse is a live horse doctor, Shen Xi said that he couldn't let Hui Niang have anything to do, he asked Song Xiaocheng to find someone to go to Yu Niang to hand over the name post, and he himself went to Xie Qian's mansion.

When he arrived at the door of Xie's house, Shen Xi was told that after Xie Qian went home yesterday and learned that his son had been lifted, he specially told his subordinates that Shen Xi was not allowed to enter Xie's mansion these days.

"And say thank me, that's the way to thank you?"

Shen Xi suddenly became angry, I will help you train your son to be a lifter, in order to prevent outsiders from gossiping, I, a great hero, will not even let you in!?

But Shen Xi knew that it was understandable for Xie Qian to make such a decision, and Shen Xi could only leave a letter, which should be seen when Xie Qian returned.

It wasn't until nightfall that Shen Xi saw Yu Niang in the tea shop near the East Fourth Archway.

Knowing Shen Xi's intention, after Yu Niang saluted, she said helplessly: "Lord Shen, what you asked the slave family to do before, the slave family has already done it, but this matter is ...... There is really nothing the slave can do. ”

"This is a big and important case handled by the Criminal Department, and then it may be approved by the Three Divisions, the slave family is just a person in the dust, how can I have the opportunity to talk to these dignitaries?"

Shen Xi thought to himself, this is just a high-sounding reason for the imperial court to plunder the property of merchants, what kind of big case should it be?

Why don't you just come to the imperial trial and let the emperor judge this case?

Shen Xi said: "Then can Yu Niang help talk to Liu Shangshu?" ”

Yu Niang still looked very embarrassed: "I'm afraid it's hard to obey my fate...... Liu Shangshu is now in charge of the military department, and the slave family has not been ordered to see him for half a year, Lord Shen ...... It is better to wait for the verdict of the Criminal Department. I think this case may have a turnaround, after all, your old man is not guilty of death! ”

Shen Xi smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Death may be difficult for others, but it is a relief for Hui Niang! This "sin does not lead to death" is really the torment of Hui Niang and him!

What happens if people can't die?

Directly assigned as a slave!

At that time, Shen Ximing knew that Hui Niang was still alive, but he didn't know where she was suffering, and he would never forgive himself.

……

……

On the way home, Shen Xi kept blaming himself: "I said that I wouldn't let you have anything, you will definitely be fine!" ”

waited until the second watch was knocked, Shen Xi returned to his door, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar door, Shen Xi didn't want to go in for a while, because he felt that he couldn't face his wife and children......

Xie Yun'er and Lin Dai gave him all their bodies and minds, but his heart was always more affectionate towards Hui Niang, although he himself knew that this was just a bad relationship.

"Young Master...... Sir, are you back? ”

Zhu Shan opened the door of the mansion and saw Shen Xi standing in front of the door in despair, and shouted in surprise, but he almost didn't change his name.

But Shen Xilai turned a deaf ear to her words.

Zhu Shan went back in surprise to report: "Madam, young lady, the master is back, the master is back!" ”

Xie Yun'er happily greeted her family, and Shen Xi could only temporarily clean up her mood and try her best to suppress her emotions.

Entering his own house, for some reason, Shen Xi always wanted to sit on the threshold for a while to calm his head, but he knew that this was unseemly.

Just when Shen Xi was wandering at the gate, Xie Yun'er took Lin Dai out, and when she saw Shen Xi, Xie Yun'er's face burst into tears of surprise.

"Xianggong, you have returned safely, and the concubine has asked you to be safe."

As a housewife, Xie Yuner has the demeanor of a housewife, whether in front of people or in private, she will not mess with the rules and etiquette at all.

Shen Xi nodded, walked over a little absent-mindedly, walked through the moon gate, and headed towards his small courtyard. When he walked to the middle courtyard, he suddenly found that he was "lost" in the face of many old items from western Fujian brought by his parents from Tingzhou. Obviously it was his own yard, but when he looked up, he felt that this was in the backyard of Lu's pharmacy in Tingzhou, and he seemed to be going to the second floor of the pharmacy to discuss things with Hui Niang.

"Xianggong, what's wrong with you?"

Xie Yun'er noticed that Shen Xi looked confused, and hurriedly asked.

Shen Xi reacted after a long time, it turned out that four or five years had passed, he had arrived in the capital, this was no longer the pharmacy with warm and sweet memories, but the official residence of the emperor, he was no longer a child who could be no older than Hui Niang, and now he was already a man who stood up to the sky.

"Yun'er, help me wash my feet, I'm very tired these days, I want to rest and relax." Shen Xi's face was full of fatigue.

Xie Yun'er nodded, and quickly asked the maid to fetch water, and when Shen Xi entered the courtyard and returned to the room to sit down, she had already brought in the footwashing water.

As a good wife and mother, Xie Yun'er is obedient to Shen Xi, and washing her husband's feet is normal in Xie Yun'er's opinion, Shen Xi sat there, she went to help Shen Xi widen her boots, remove her socks, and then help Shen Xi test the water temperature, put Shen Xi's feet in the water, and wash them carefully.

When Shen Xi reacted, looking at his wife with a serious face, he didn't think of anyone else, but Hui Niang, who used to kneel down to wash his feet every time he asked him to go to the room to discuss things.

That was the best memory he had left for Hui Niang in his heart, because only at that moment would he feel that Hui Niang belonged to him.

"Yun'er, I'll do it myself."

Shen Xi said with a smile, but tears couldn't help but flow from the corners of his eyes.

"Is the princess disgusted that the concubine is not well washed?" Xie Yun'er looked at Shen Xi aggrievedly.

"It's not."

Shen Xi sighed lightly, "You washed very well, but I remembered someone at this moment." Something happened to the shopkeeper, you should have heard about it, right? ”

Speaking of Hui Niang, Xie Yun'er finally couldn't help but be sad and desperate, and began to wipe her tears, and after a while, she sobbed: "The concubine didn't dare to tell Dai'er and Xiaoya about it, for fear that they would be too ......."

"It's right not to say yes, thank you."

Shen Xi took Xie Yun'er in his arms, at this time he needed a sheltered harbor very much, and wanted to cry, if nothing else, because his heart was very bitter and tired.

After Xie Yun'er let Shen Xi wet her front in her arms, she gently stroked Shen Xi's head with a slender jade, so gentle and careful, as if she were treating her and Shen Xi's son.

Shen Xi cried once, his mood finally improved, and he sighed lightly: "Finally go home, call Dai'er and them, our family has a good reunion dinner, I want to feel the warmth of the family reunion." ”

Xie Yun'er hurriedly helped Shen Xi wipe his feet, found clean shoes and socks to change into, and accompanied Shen Xi to the dining table, the whole family over there was still waiting, after all, this day was a big day for Shen Xi to come back, and Shen Xi, the head of the family, would not be able to eat that night.

"Uh-huh......"

Yin Wen was very happy after seeing Shen Xi, and when he came over, he hugged his lover and put his head into Shen Xi's arms to be coquettish.

Lu Xi'er also wanted to come over, but she was learning from Xie Yun'er how to be a "lady" and prepare for marrying into the Shen family, so she couldn't be as "unruly" as before, but she looked at Yin Wen's coquettish appearance in Shen Xi's arms, and she was so envious.

"Eat."

Shen Xi sat down, Xie Yun'er was on his left, and Lin Dai was sitting on his right, as for Yin Wen, she was originally sitting opposite Shen Xi, but she got up from time to time and came to Shen Xi's side to help him pick up vegetables, just like a little maid waiting for her master. What Shen Xi likes to eat, she knows better than anyone else, she likes to come over to serve Shen Xi during meals, as long as Shen Xi eats happily, she feels very satisfied if she doesn't eat.

The family sat at the dining table and finished the meal, and Shen Xi's expression was very flat from beginning to end, and he couldn't see any joy at all.

Lin Dai wanted to speak a few times, and when she finished eating, she was about to go back to her room, and she finally couldn't help asking, "Master, are you spending the night over there tonight?" ”

"I'm tired, let's sleep alone at night." After Shen Xi finished speaking, he went back to the courtyard first, full of sleepiness, which made him feel exhausted, but after he lay down, it was a difficult sleepless night.

There was only one shadow in his mind that he could never let go of.
