In a secret room in the backyard of the Shen Mansion, Shen Qinglong and Han Changzhong sat on a yellow rosewood chair.

The three deep horizontal lines on Shen Qinglong's forehead were like ravines, his eyelids drooped, and his lips were slightly pursed, looking cloudy.

"Changzhong, I didn't expect this Mingtang's female doll to be so thoughtful, Rao was carefully choreographed, or she was almost caught by her. Especially Mu Qing, she was so flustered by her questions in the hall! If I hadn't replied to her in time, I'm afraid that we would have been exposed today, alas! Shen Qinglong sighed.

Han Changzhong's expression was indifferent, with a look of Zhizhu in his hand, and he said with relief: "Master don't panic, you can't mess up." So far, that Lord Qin is just empty mouth and white teeth, without evidence, at most it can be regarded as a reasonable inference. Besides, even if there is no refutation from her today, it is not easy for Yuan Baohu to be convicted. ”

"Why is that?" Hearing his master's words, Shen Qinglong was a little puzzled, he tilted his head, rubbed a delicate jade pixiu in his hand, and asked suspiciously.

"Master, what we are suing today is the son of the Yuan family of Chen County, the top of the Ming Hall, not ordinary ordinary people. How dare a small Qiantang County Ya close the case in a hurry? Once Yuan was convicted, a group of officials in the DPRK and China, headed by Huan Wen, would inevitably take the opportunity to set off an uproar and make a big deal in order to suppress Mingtang and the Yuan family, so as to further control the court and the army. Of course, Mingtang and the Yuan family will not sit still, and behind this Mingtang are the emperor and the queen mother. Yu Huawen will not understand the stakes involved, he must think of a way to transfer the case to the Criminal Department to avoid this troubled water. ”

Han Changzhong's face was calm, and he looked at the layout of the court and talked eloquently, but Shen Qinglong was frightened when he heard it, and he was furious, for fear that the matter would be big and cause him to burn himself.

"So you say...... Will the case we sue eventually become the focus of the game between the two forces in the court? Maybe even stir up the whole court? This..... Are we going too far? ”

Han Changzhong seemed to know what he was thinking, so he smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, master, when the case really develops to that point, the whole court will only care about how to sentence Yuan Baohu, who will ask about the murder of Qian Dahong?" When the time comes, just find a scapegoat in Shuizhai to kill the official and take the blame, and there is no proof to die, and the yamen will be happy to close the case, and you can continue to be your Cao Gang leader in peace and stability. ”

Shen Qinglong stroked his beard and laughed repeatedly: "Wonderful, wonderful!" ”

"But before you can do that, you have to get those two things right." Han Changzhong looked at Shen Qinglong with the only eye he had, and said, "First, you have to continue to arrange some people to spread the fuel and vinegar of Yuan Capture Hu's case, add fuel to the fire, and put pressure on Yu Huawen." ”

"This ...... Was this helpful? Shen Qinglong frowned.

In his eyes, the common people are the most useless group of people, even if it is 10,000 people, it is not as effective as a disciple of the scholar clan.

"Hehe, master, for Qian Dahong, the words of the common people are not as good as bullshit, but for Yu Huawen, it is different." Han Changzhong smiled and said, "Don't forget, Yu Huawen is a clean official who cares about the people's feelings and values the official reputation!" ”

"Qingguan!" Shen Qinglong's eyes lit up, and he laughed and said, "Qingguan is good, Qingguan is good!" ”

Then, Han Changzhong leaned his head and whispered: "Second, you have to take good care of Mu Qing, in case she is robbed by someone sent by Mingtang or Yu Huawen, then we will be in vain!" ”

Shen Qinglong's eyes flickered, his face was cloudy, and the heart he had just put down hung again. After a moment, he said with a fierce glint in his eyes: "Why don't you ...... her now?" As he spoke, he made a motion to wipe his neck.

Han Changzhong shook his head, "It's not proper, it's in the limelight now, and it can't be repeated, if the matter is revealed, wouldn't it be a disaster for yourself?" ”

"Wait until this wave is over, and then ...... Not late. Han Changzhong also made a neck wiping movement as he spoke.

Shen Qinglong pondered for a moment and nodded.

"Sir! There are guests visiting! A person from the Shen Mansion hurriedly walked from outside the door and said respectfully to Shen Qinglong.

"It's so late, who is it?" Shen Qinglong asked the servant suspiciously.

"It's Mr. Zheng Fei." The servant replied.

Zheng Fei!

Shen Qinglong and Han Changzhong glanced at each other, as if they were very surprised, he quickly stood up and said, "Take him to the back hall, and I'll go over immediately." ”

……

The front yard of the Shen Mansion.

"Mr. Zheng, sir, please go to the back hall to talk." The servant said respectfully.

Standing in front of the servant was a man covered in black linen. Hearing the servant's words, he let out a soft "um" and followed the servant to the back hall.

After entering the back hall, the servant served the middle-aged scholar a cup of tea, and then bowed away.

Zheng Fei lifted the sackcloth on his body at this time. This is a middle-aged man who looks Sven, about thirty-four or five years old, with slender and sparse eyebrows, slightly drooping phoenix eyes, a high nose bridge, and an elegant face. Dressed in a blue robe, wearing a pair of black cloth shoes, and with a bookish atmosphere, he looked like a Confucian who had read the books of sages and sages.

Zheng Fei stood quietly in front of the mahogany case in the west of the back hall, admiring a crystal clear white jade carved dragon about a foot in size on the case, a few golden dragon scales on the dragon's body were shining, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch it lightly a few times.

At this time, Shen Qinglong's hearty laughter came from outside the door. As soon as he entered the door, he raised his hand and said, "I don't know if Mr. is coming to the cold house, Shen has missed the welcome, and I hope to forgive my sins!" ”

Zheng Fei turned his head and saw Shen Qinglong, he made a gesture unhurriedly, and said with a smile: "Shen Gang Master is polite!" ”

Shen Qinglong smiled slightly and said, "What does Mr. Zheng think of this jade dragon carving?" ”

"Haha, Zheng also knows a little about jade. However, this jade dragon, with delicate jade, soft luster and transparent shape, should be the top white jade produced in Lantian Taihe Mine. The carving is fine, the lines are smooth, the turn is not stiff at all, and a layer of beautiful colors is skillfully carved into dragon scales, which is really a miracle! If nothing else, it should be carefully carved by the master, which can be described as priceless. Zheng Fei told the story, like a few treasures.

"Okay, it's really an expert!" Shen Qinglong couldn't help but applaud, "People say that Mr. Zheng is erudite and talented, and when I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation!" ”

"Mr. has a good reputation, Zheng is ashamed!" Zheng Fei smiled and said politely.

"A gentleman is like a jade, I think this jade dragon is just right for Mr. Zheng! I hope Mr. Zheng will not dislike it. ”

Zheng Fei hurriedly waved his hand and said, "How can you be in Xia, how dare you accept such a big gift from the Shen Gang Master, it's inappropriate, it's inappropriate!" ”

Shen Qinglong said with a smile: "The sword is given to the strong man, and the beautiful jade is returned to the gentleman!" ”

Zheng Fei still shook his head.

Shen Qinglong pretended to be angry and said, "If Mr. doesn't accept it, he won't give me Shen's face." ”

Zheng Fei was helpless, so he had to thank him: "That...... Then I thanked the Shen Gang Master for his generous gift. ”

Shen Qinglong smiled again and said, "Mr. Zheng, please take a seat." ”

After the two sat down, Shen Qinglong picked up the teacup, took a sip slightly, and then asked, "I don't know what is the matter with Mr. Zheng's coming?" ”

Zheng Fei said: "Gang Master Shen, Zheng came here on the orders of my master. ”

Hearing Zheng Fei's words, Shen Qinglong hurriedly got up and closed the door of the living room.

Who is the old man in Zheng Fei's mouth, Shen Qinglong knows it. This person is Shen Qinglong's nobleman, it can be said that without him, there would be no Shen Qinglong today.

And Zheng Fei is this master's personal staff.

Shen Qinglong turned around and sat down, lowered his voice and said, "I don't know what the adults command?" ”

Zheng Fei leaned forward and said in a low voice: "Master asked me to tell you to immediately suspend all contacts with Linjiang Hou!" Burn all previous correspondence books. ”

"Oh?" Shen Qinglong was surprised for a while, but he immediately guessed seventy or eighty.

Thing, how do you feel a piece coming! Shen Qinglong smiled bitterly in his heart, and arched his hand: "Please tell your lordship, Shen will do it immediately!" ”
