"Childe, do you know what method we use to determine the rhythm?" Chu Zhilan asked.

"But Lan's three-point profit and loss method?"

"Indeed, it was the little woman who underestimated the childe. Next, I will play a short piece of piano music for Shen Gong, and listen to it to see if you can remember what the song is. ”

Then Chu Zhilan began to pluck the strings again, and with the movement of her fingers, the sound of the piano came out immediately, the sound of the piano was elegant, the music was full, undulating, and intriguing.

After a while, Chu Zhilan stopped playing and asked, "Did Shen Gongzi hear this song?" ”

"This song should be a moonlit night in the spring river. Spring river flowers towards the autumn moonlit night, often take wine and pour alone. Shen Tingyu replied.

"If you are drunk, you will say goodbye, and you will be immersed in the moon when the vast river is gone. The little woman has always thought that the predecessor who played this qin song was lucky, and if she could meet a Xiangshan monk in her life, and play a proud song for her confidant, then the piano could be broken in this life. ”

"Would Miss Zhilan be willing to play for you?" Shen Tingyu asked.

"Of course, Shen Gongzi is my confidant, in this life, Zhilan will only play solo for Gongzi from now on." Chu Zhilan smiled, and actually made the heavens and the earth lose their color.

Shen Tingyu looked up at Chu Zhilan's beautiful face, at this moment, he only felt that somewhere in his heart was touched fiercely, in his heart, something called love had begun to grow secretly.

"Miss Zhilan, don't call me Shen Gongzi anymore, it sounds unfamiliar, just call me Tingyu." Shen Tingyu said softly.

"Since that's the case, then from now on, Tingyu, you can also call me Zhilan directly."

"Okay, Aunt Zhilan......"

"Huh?"

"Oh, Zhilan, what we just agreed ......"

"This is nature, I will play "Falling Flowers" for Tingyu you."

As she spoke, Chu Zhilan had already begun to play, and with the movement of her hand, a melodious, ethereal and melodious sound of the piano resounded, and the sound of the piano was sometimes rapid, sometimes gentle; Sometimes sad, sometimes agitated, between this heaven and earth, it seems that there is no one else, no everything, only two people and this peerless piano sound. Shen Tingyu was deeply intoxicated and couldn't extricate himself.

......

Another morning, Shen Tingyu was wandering on the street at this time, but when he passed by the county office, he was stopped by a government official.

"Shen Gongzi, you came just in time, our county magistrate is in a hurry now, you can go and take a look."

These words made Shen Tingyu cry and laugh a little, he just happened to pass by here, and he didn't know what the county magistrate was in a hurry at all, but he still felt that he would go and take a look.

After entering the lobby, Shen Tingyu saw Du Xianling sitting on a chair sighing, so he asked, "Lord Du, what happened, why are you sighing like this?" ”

Seeing that it was Shen Tingyu coming, Du Youwei immediately said in surprise: "Brother Xian came just in time, Brother Wei is about to ask Brother Xian for help." ”

"Lord Prefectural Order, please."

"Brother Xian, do you remember that I bought cattle for farmers a few days ago?"

"Remember, I heard that Taishou-sama still praised you. Is the matter that the county magistrate asked today related to these ploughing cattle? Shen Tingyu asked.

"Exactly, when they bought the cow, Li Sanli, a villager in Lijiazhuang, and they were allocated a cow to a total of eight households, just now, Li Sanli came to report the case, saying that when they were farming, they went to have lunch, and when they came back, the cow's tongue was actually cut."

Shen Tingyu thought for a moment and asked, "Is this cow still alive?"

"Alive, why don't you go and see it with me?"

"Let's go together, then."

When Shen Tingyu followed Du Youwei to the scene, he saw the cow's mouth full of blood, and there was a piece of cow's tongue on the ground.

"This man is so cruel, tsk." Shen Tingyu couldn't help but sigh.

"What does the virtuous brother think about this?" Du Youwei asked.

Shen Tingyu thought for a moment, he thought that this cow should be able to recognize the person who hurt him, and he could use this to find out the murderer. So he said: "I also ask the county magistrate to go now and ask the whole village to gather here, and then there will naturally be means to find out the murderer." ”

I have to say that the efficiency of the county magistrate is high, and it only takes a moment to gather more than 100 people in the village, of course, this has a lot to do with the small size of the village.

At this time, Shen Tingyu said to the more than 100 villagers on the side: "You line up in a line, roll call in turn, and each person leads this ploughing ox ten steps." ”

Then the more than 100 villagers lined up in a line according to Shen Tingyu's instructions and came up to lead the cattle in turn.

"Xiaomin Zhang San."

"Xiao Min Qian Four."

"Xiaomin Chen Wu"

......

I saw that these villagers easily led the ploughing ox away ten steps, but when it was the turn of a villager named Yan Cheng to pull the cow, the cow did not move no matter how it pulled it, but broke free from the reins.

Shen Tingyu looked at Yan Cheng and asked, "Your name is Yan Cheng?" ”

Yan Cheng said tremblingly, "Yes...... Be...... My lord. ”

"Come on, take this Yan Cheng down for me." Shen Tingyu shouted at the officials on the side.

"My lord, the little people are wronged, wronged, my lord." Seeing that Shen Tingyu was going to arrest him, Yan Cheng hurriedly shouted.

"Wronged? Yan Cheng, when you pulled the cow, the cow didn't dare to move forward, and actually broke free from the reins. Although the ox is not as intelligent as a human, it knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. ”

Then Shen Tingyu looked at Li Lisan again and asked, "Li Lisan, do you have a grudge against this Yan Cheng?" ”

"Lord Hui, in the early years, there was a quarrel with this guy because of the homestead, and many lawsuits were fruitless, so the reason is over." Li Lisan replied.

Yan Cheng knelt on the ground, not daring to speak.

As soon as Shen Tingyu saw him like this, he immediately used an invincible killing weapon - intimidation. He said: "It seems that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin, do you have to eat the pain of the flesh and skin to confess your sins?" ”

When Yan Cheng heard Shen Tingyu's intimidation, he was already so frightened that his legs trembled, and he hurriedly confessed: "The adult spares his life, the villain confesses." It's just because the villain had a grudge against Li Lisan at the beginning, and saw that he got a ploughing cow, so the villain took advantage of his farming and resting, and secretly used grass to lure the ploughing cow to take the bait, and cut off its tongue, thinking that in this way Li Lisan could plough the land without cattle. ”

After Yan Cheng pleaded guilty, Shen Tingyu glanced at Du Youwei, Du Youwei tacitly said: "Now that the case has been revealed, then assign Li Lisan's remnant cattle to Yan Cheng, and Yan Cheng will compensate Li Lisan for a complete ploughing cow, and fine ten taels of silver as punishment." ”

After finishing the case, Du Youwei went home, while Shen Tingyu went home to study hard. After they left, the villagers praised Shen Tingyu's clear judgment of right and wrong, and Du Youwei's rewards and punishments were clearly praised.
