Shi Shouxin is a anxious surname, he couldn't bear it, but he still asked what he wanted to ask: "Lord Leng, I have made amends to you, and please give me a truthful word, is Da Ji given death by the official family?" ”

"Lord Shi!" The eldest princess of the country of Lu frowned.

Shi Shouxin arched his hand and said: "Eldest princess, I kowtowed to Zheng En back then, but I begged to die in the same year and month, first he is dead now, I am still alive, even his own sister I can't protect everything, and I don't even know how he died." What face do I have to live in the world? ―― This question just now, if it is inconvenient for you to say it, Lord Leng, you can not say it, this official will never force it, of course, if you pity me and Zheng En's brotherhood, tell you the truth, I, I will be grateful to you for a lifetime! With that, he stood up and bowed. Straightening his waist, his expression was a little desolate, and he said gloomily: "Actually, even if I know that the official family gave me the death, and the official family is unwilling to say the reason, I don't have any way, but I know in my heart that when I see Brother Zheng En after death, I can also say it clearly." ”

After all, even the eye circles are a little red.

Leng Yi glanced at the eldest princess of the Lu Kingdom. It just so happened that she also looked at Leng Yi, looking a little uneasy, and when she met Leng Yi's gaze, she hurriedly turned away.

Leng Yi coughed lightly and said, "Lord Zhongshu's question about whether Da Ji Meiren was given death by the official family, I can't answer it, what I can tell your lord is that according to my autopsy, I judge that Da Ji Meiren died in an accident." What the official said is true. ”

The eldest princess of the country of Lu breathed a sigh of relief. glanced at Leng Yi gratefully.

"But," Shi Shouxin glared, "The man we asked said that the marks on Da Ji's beauty's face are more likely to be caused by someone pressing the back of her head!" Moreover, the maid of the eldest princess of Wei, Lianqiu, saw the official family's ...... with her own eyes"

"Enough!" The eldest princess of the Lu Kingdom said angrily: "Shi Shouxin! Princess Ben brought you here, did she let you come to Lord Leng to theorize? ”

Shi Shouxin had never heard the eldest princess of the Lu Kingdom call her name and reprimand herself, so she hurriedly got up, lifted her robe and knelt down: "Weichen should die!" Please forgive the eldest princess! ”

Shi Baoji also followed his father to kneel and kowtow.

The eldest princess of the country Lu said sharply: "You don't believe what the official family told you, and now Lord Leng, who is in charge of investigating this case, also clearly told you in person, Da Ji Beauty died in an accident, you still don't believe it, you have to think that Da Ji Beauty was given death by the official family, okay!" Very good! You go to the official theory! Go and do justice to your sworn brother's sister! Go and die for your sworn brother! I won't stop you anymore! I'm going back to the palace! - Lord Leng, you don't need to get acquainted with people like him who don't know what to do and what to do, so as not to make trouble for yourself, anyway, if he makes trouble like this, he is not far from death! Go back! There are forbidden troops here, and they can't do anything to you! Princess Ben is gone! ”

Anyway, lift the long skirt, get down and go.

It is a big crime to make the eldest princess so angry that she goes back to her parents' house. Panicked, Shi Shouxin hurriedly knelt and climbed a few steps, blocking the way of the eldest princess of Lu Kingdom, kowtowed: "Eldest princess, please stay, it is a mistake to keep your promises, and you are confused for a while, please forgive the eldest princess!" ”

"You're right! What's wrong with you sticking a knife in your ribs for your good brother, chivalrous and courageous? Besides, your head is your own. If you want to throw it away, who can help you? ”

Shi Shouxin's face was red and white for a while, but he knelt down, not knowing what to say.

Shi Baoji kowtowed and said, "Eldest princess, my father has already admitted his mistake, so you can forgive me." We came to apologize, but this matter has been investigated, that is, he died in an accident, and the official family is right. - Father, right? ”

Shi Shouxin woke up as if in a dream, and quickly nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, what the official family and Lord Leng said is right, Daji Beauty died in an accident, I believe it." Won't care anymore! It's true. I don't care about this anymore! ”

Leng Yi also got up and said: "The eldest princess is angry, Lord Shi just lamented the death of the sister of the righteous brother, and under the heartache, he was just confused for a while. After a while, I will accept it slowly. ”

The eldest princess of the Lu Kingdom gradually became angry and said, "Get up!" ”

Shi Shouxin and Shi Baoji wiped the sweat from their heads, got up, and stood bent.

The eldest princess of Lu said: "What are you standing for, sit!" ”

The two of them sat down again.

The eldest princess of the country Lu said: "Lord Leng asked me to introduce him to you to get acquainted, do you think there is still a need for this?" ”

Shi Shouxin hurriedly changed his smile and said, "To get acquainted with Lord Leng, Shouxin is naturally unwanted!" ”

Shi Baoji also nodded. The pain in his arm was severe, and he endured it all the time, and only then did he try to put on a smiling face.

Leng Yi saw that his forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and hurriedly said, "Brother Shi, what's wrong?" ”

Shi Shouxin hurriedly said: "The dog was weak before, and he beat Lord Leng's guards on the street, and was injured by Lord Leng's guards with internal force. I have come to confess my guilt, and I beg you to let the guards heal his wounds and save his arm, thank you! After that, he bowed for a long time, and angrily reprimanded his son Shi Baoji: "Don't kneel down to make amends!" ”

Shi Baoji was about to kneel, but Leng Yi hurriedly stepped forward to support him: "Don't dare to be, I really don't dare to be, it's also my guard who is reckless, and he should be treated by my senior brother." ”

Shi Baoji was grateful, and even thanked him.

Leng Yi asked people to pass it on, and the Wumei Daoist came quickly, and after listening to Leng Yi's explanation, without saying a word, he took out a bottle from his arms and handed it to Shi Baoji: "The red pills in the bottle are taken internally, and the white soaking wine is rubbed outside." - You're smart enough to come looking for medicine, and if it's two days late, your hands will be useless. ”

Shi Baoji blushed and hurriedly thanked him. Took the porcelain vase.

Shi Shouxin stepped forward and said to Leng Yi: "Shouxin has prepared a little wine at home, and I want to invite the virtuous couple to have a drink at home tonight, I don't know if I can enjoy it?" ”

Leng Yi smiled and arched his hand: "I have long admired the great name of the adult, so I took the liberty of asking the princess for a recommendation." Thanks to the kind invitation of the adults, how can there be any reason to excuse it? That's something you have to be bothered about. ”

"Okay, that's it, tonight the trustworthy home sweeps the couch to welcome us! Leave! ”

That night, Leng Yi took Zhuo Qiaoniang, under the protection of Master Tu You, Wumei Dao Chang and their disciples, to pick up a heavy salute and came to Shi Shouxin's house.

Shi Shouxin had already been informed, and he was waiting at the door with his wife and concubine and three sons in advance. The eldest princess of Lu followed Shi Baoji to greet her at the door.

Leng Yi came down, and Shi Shouxin hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "Lord Leng!" Thank you very much for coming! ”

Leng Yi was busy and polite, and when he saw that the eldest princess of the country of Lu was also there, he hurriedly pulled his wife Zhuo Qiaoniang forward to salute: "Weichen greets the eldest princess!" ”

The eldest princess of the Lu Kingdom was busy supporting her with her hands: "Lord Leng is exempt, today I am the daughter-in-law of the Shi family, not the princess." ”

The eldest princess of the country of Lu pulled Zhuo Qiaoniang to look up and down, and said to Leng Yi: "Lord Leng has such a handsome lady, and he doesn't bring it out to walk around, we all want to get to know Mrs. Shi Shouxin and the wives and concubines of his other two sons also stepped forward affectionately, hugging Zhuo Qiaoniang, praising her for being handsome, praising her for her gorgeous clothes, decent cuts, exquisite jewelry, and thousands of manners. made Zhuo Qiaoniang's pretty face as ashamed as a red cloth.

I went all the way to the inner hall, where the banquet had been set up. Shi Shouxin asked Leng Yi and his wife to sit at the table, Leng Yi naturally didn't dare, and let the eldest princess of Lu sit down, but the eldest princess of Lu said that she was just a daughter-in-law today, and she sat with her daughters-in-law, so she asked him to sit with Shi Shouxin and talk. Leng Yi had no choice but to sit on the table. Shi Shouxin accompanied him on the side. The eldest princess of Lu took Zhuo Qiaoniang and sat with her.

There were already many people in the Shi family, and they sat at a large table.

Shi Shouxin seemed to have let go of his mind seriously, and kept persuading Leng Yi to drink and say nice things. Leng Yi is a wine to the glass, which is very refreshing. Shi Shouxin was born in the army, so he naturally had a great appetite for him. also has a good impression of Leng Yi.

Leng Yi asked him about the story of following Emperor Taizu in the past and the current saint fighting the world. This is exactly what Shi Shouxin said proudly, and immediately opened his chatterbox. Then he drank and twisted his beard and began to speak.

Leng Yi interjected from time to time to ask for some details, and seemed very interested, which aroused Shi Shouxin's interest even more, and he talked endlessly, foaming at the mouth. It's just that the people in their family have heard these battle stories hundreds of times, so they are naturally not interested, but they also have to pretend to be interested.

He didn't tell a story, Leng Yi slapped his hands in admiration, and raised his glass to toast, Shi Shouxin was happy, and the wine was dry. By late at night, he was already quite drunk. Leng Yi got up and said goodbye.

Shi Shouxin patted Leng Yi's shoulder and said, "You are very good, I was wrong before, but in the future, we will be a family!" ”

"I'm glad to get to know Master Shi!"

"Hahaha, I'll send you out! - You don't have to send it, I'll just send it! Shi Shouxin staggered.

His wife and concubines and children, where can he make an old man hard, but seeing his insistence and speculation with Leng Yi, he naturally didn't dare to disobey, so Shi Shouxin's wife accompanied Zhuo Qiaoniang, and Shi Baoji followed behind from a distance to take care of him. Walk slowly towards the front yard.

Leng Yi's sedan chair stopped in the front yard, and Shi Shouxin patted Leng Yi's shoulder again and said, "Let's move around more in the future." ”

"Definitely, definitely!"

Shi Shouxin looked back at the people who were following him far away, then lowered his voice and said to Leng Yi: "Can you tell me the truth, Daji Beauty, was she killed?" - If I don't understand this matter, I won't be able to turn a blind eye! ”

Leng Yi also looked at the back and said in a low voice: "Why didn't Lord Shi ask the main master who went in through the window late at night?" ”

Shi Shouxin was stunned for a moment and said, "Long Yuan? ”

Leng Yi smiled meaningfully, arched his hand, and said loudly: "Thank you for the kind invitation, don't leave it at that!" "After that, I got into the sedan chair.

Seeing him get on the sedan chair, Zhuo Qiaoniang and the others walked over quickly, and Shi Shouxin's wife helped Zhuo Qiaoniang lift the sedan curtain with her own hands, and after she got on the sedan chair, she said goodbye.

The two sedan chairs were surrounded by the guards and walked out of the gate of the Shi family.

Shi Shouxin looked at the gate in a daze.

Shi Baoji came over and said in a low voice: "Father, it's cold outside, beware of getting cold, let's go back to the house." ”

Shi Shouxin muttered, "Long Zhen ......! ”

Shi Baoji hurriedly whispered, "What's the matter?" Father. ”

"Master Fang Cai Leng suggested that I ask Long Zhen! Moreover, he is talking about the one who went in late at night! ”

Shi Baoji raised his eyebrows and said, "This means that he also agrees with this statement?" ”

"Hmm!" Shi Shouxin nodded, "He must have found something, but he can't say it, so he suggested that I ask Long Zhen." ”

"However, Long Zhen has always been by the side of the officials in the palace, how can he see it?"

"Yes! Previously, we also thought about asking Long Zhen to inquire, but because of this reason, we couldn't, but now that Leng Yi said so, we must try our best to find Long Zhen to inquire about this matter! If you don't make it out, I'm sorry for Brother Zheng En's spirit in the sky! ”

Shi Baoji hesitated: "But the eldest princess of the Lu country ...... there."

"Can't let her know! Be sure to keep it secret, absolutely confidential! ”

"The child understands!"

Shi Shouxin said: "I'm going to find your Uncle Gao now and tell him about it." Find a way to find Long Zhen and ask about it! ”

"I'll go with my father!"

"No!" Shi Shouxin said: "You are at home, so as not to be suspected by the eldest princess of the Lu country, I will wait for you all to rest before I go!" ”

――――――――――――― the next day, Leng Yi got up and entered the palace, and when he came to the palace, he first went to Yusi to see her embroidery, and it went very well, and then he arrived in his courtyard. He wanted to finish the daily review first, and then go to the trial of the death penalty Feng Zan bribery case, this death penalty case was approved by the official family for him to go to the trial for review, but he has not been available, and now he is finally empty. It's time to do that.

However, before he could finish reviewing those folds, Wang Jien came and sent an edict from the official family to ask him to go to the imperial study to see Emperor Zhao Guangyi immediately.

Leng Yi hurriedly followed Wang Jien to meet the official's family.

Zhao Guangyi saw him come in and beckoned, "Come here!" ”

Leng Yi hurried over. I saw a huge dragon case, there is a huge picture, there are mountains and water, of course, the most is water, in the middle of the water, there are some islands in the middle of the lake, and there are boats of the navy below. Everywhere around the lake, green pines and bamboos, pavilions and pavilions are like stars in the sky, sprinkled all over the lake.

There was a young man standing next to Zhao Guangyi, with a rather frightened expression, it was Zhao Dezhao, the king of martial arts.

Zhao Guangyi excitedly pointed to the map and said: "Dezhao is really neat, you see, he has already put the sketch out." What do you think? ”

Leng Yi stepped forward to take a look and said, "This, it's not bad, but Weichen thinks it's useless to think it's good, and it has to be said by Hua Rui Niang that it's really good!" ”

"That's right! That's why I let you come. - Dezhao, you explain the situation of the map to Leng Qing, wait a while, Leng Qing you take the picture and show it to Hua Rui Niangniang, if she is satisfied, she can start to move the people and mobilize the people to prepare for the excavation. ”

Zhao Dezhao nodded hurriedly and said to Leng Yi: "There is no more explanation, it is all involved in accordance with the instructions of the official family, what needs to be explained is that the lake water of this Jinming Pond cannot be stagnant, so it must be connected to the Bianhe River......"

"That's right!" Zhao Guangyi said: "This is natural, Hua Rui Guifei said, in addition to serving as a royal garden in the future, this Jinming Pond will also be used for naval training, so there must be a river connecting Jinming Pond and Bianhe." In this way, the ships of the naval army can easily enter and exit. ”

"Herein lies the problem." Zhao Dezhao said: "Official, the current location of Jinmingchi is too far away from the Bianhe River. Only one river can be excavated manually, and the length must be at least thirty miles or more......"

"No matter how much, dig!" Zhao Guangyi said coldly.
