Shen Lian also snorted: "Gun'er, go back to the room!" Where do you get your point here! Shen Xiaoxia also hurried over when she heard the voice, and said, "Second brother, pay attention to your body!" He dragged Shen Gon back to his room. Shen Lian turned to Yan Hong and said, "Qin Cha smiled. This person is Shen Gon, a dog who has been sick recently and is talking nonsense, and Qin Chaxiu wants to blame. ”

Zhang Qingyan said: "Chief Shen, my family Chief Yan is very fond of this Mrs. Xia, if you really know his whereabouts, you must tell him, and my family official will be very grateful." Besides, this is a family affair of the Yan Mansion, and it does not involve government affairs, so Chief Shen should do a favor and it will be convenient for everyone in the future. ”

Shen Lian said with a smile: "Yan Qincha is a dignified Jinyi Guard, and he can't even find someone in Jinyiwei, how can I know his whereabouts?" Miss Xia was indeed at my house some time ago, but she has long since left. I can't tell where I'm going. ”

Yan Hong was about to ask again, but Zhang Qingyan gently pulled him. Yan Hong understood and arched his hand: "Since this is the case, it is inconvenient for the lower officials to bother more." Mr. Shen, this is the resignation. ”

Shen Lian said: "Yan Qincha, it's easy to say." After taking Yang Shun, inform one person, and I packed up and prepared to enter Beijing with my husband. ”

Yan Hong and Zhang Qingyan pushed the door out, but saw that the more than ten guards they brought were standing in their respective positions and guarding very tightly. Yan Hong said: "Let's go!" He led the team out of Zhuangzi, turned over his horse, and headed towards his family's camp.

In a farmhouse less than ten miles outside Shenjiazhuang, a junior rushed into the house and said, "Brother, Qin Chazhen took someone to Shen Lianzhuang." ”

In the room, a bearded man frowned: "How long have they been inside?" ”

Hou Sheng said: "About half an hour." When they came out, Shen Lian personally sent them off, and I saw them talking and laughing. It doesn't seem like a quarrel. ”

The man clenched his right hand into a fist. Tap twice on the table: "Not good." From this point of view, that Yan Hong and Yan Qin are poor, and they want to use Shandong's old skills to repeat it. Our handsome may be worse. Hurry up and prepare the carrier pigeon and inform the marshal. ”

In a cottage at the junction of Wei County, Baoan and Huai'an, a few dim oil lamps are lit. This cottage is as bold as the "Zhongyi Hall" in the Water Margin, and it is even a little less magnificent than the lobby of Sun Lie who took off Hushan. In the middle of the chair, there is a middle-aged man with a full beard, and several scars on his face indicate his experience in the rivers and lakes. Now. He was answering an old man in the guest seat.

"Mr. Ning, in your opinion, this Qin sent Yan Hong to defend the realm to be disadvantageous to Mr. Shen?"

That "Mr. Ning" was very tall, with a thin face, but his skin was very white, especially his hands were wrinkled. The three locks of long beard have turned white, their eyes are bright, and they are full of anger when they speak:

"Lord Murong Village, old decay can't necessarily say that it is unfavorable. However, Mr. Shen offended Yan Fu a lot. Yang Shun is Yan Song's righteous son. This time, Yan Hong went out to tour the Propaganda University, what kind of thoughts did he have. No one can say. It's just that Mr. Shen has visited border people and sergeants in various borders of Xuanda many times, and this fact has made a lot of trouble. If Yan Song is determined to shield his own henchmen, what do I think...... Mr. Shen is their confidant. ”

The lord of Murong Zhai said: "In this case, I will ask my brothers to inspect carefully." If there is really a long or short term, even if you fight for your life, you have to save Mr. Shen, and you can't let this world-famous good man have an accident in my Murong realm. Mr. Ning, you are a famous person of the Huashan faction, so please stay in the village to host, how about it? ”

Mr. Naning let out a long sigh, stroked his beard and said, "Old, old." The old man didn't use his muscles and bones as his ability, and he just came to give a message to the lord of Murong Village. What happened here is all up to the Lord of Murong Zhai. The old man still has some mundane affairs, but he must take a step to say goodbye first. ”

The lord of Murong Zhai persuaded a few words, and seeing that Mr. Naning was resolute, he had no choice but to give up. It is necessary to order the second master, arrange sentry horses, and monitor the area of Shenjiazhuang.

Yan Hong returned to his own camp, and Wang Ting, Liu Lian and others followed. Yan Hong didn't say much, led his entourage and cronies, entered the Chinese military tent, and summoned Tao Zhi, Shao An, Liang Rufei, Xi Tong, Yan Feng, Yan Fu and others: "You are all my confidants, what do you see on this trip to visit the Shen family today?" ”

Liang Rufei said: "Eldest prince, when you and Zhang Nuxia went in to talk to Shen Lian today, I waited outside to keep guard. Liang had nothing to do, and walked around the village, but he saw a man on the rivers and lakes, with a beard, who was hiding. When he saw Liang, he hurriedly dodged. ”

Yan Hong said: "What kind of person is Sha Mo in the Loyalty Alliance?" I heard that Shen Lian is friendly with the Loyalty Alliance, maybe the Loyalty Alliance is in the Shen family. ”

Liang Rufei said: "I don't think so. We have seen the Loyal and Righteous League in Shandong, and it is also generous, and there is no reason to hide the head and show the tail. Later, three or four more men came out of the Zhuangzi, but I recognized the old man who was the head, but he was the head of the Yanmen faction, but I don't know if he was from the Zhongyi League. He probably didn't recognize me, but he nodded when he saw me. In this way, it seems more and more that the previous person has a ghost. ”

Yan Hong listened to it, thinking that this Shen Lian was an outlier in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, and it was not surprising that he made friends with people in the rivers and lakes. But why would a person behave so strangely, could it be a fugitive or something?

I asked the rest of the people, but they couldn't find anything. Yan Hong withdrew from everyone and asked Zhang Qingyan in private: "Qingyan, tell me, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Qingyan said: "Xianggong, I followed Xianggong into the house to meet Shen Lian, Xianggong was answering with him, but I was looking at Shen Lian's expression. There is an unfinished meaning in his words. ”

Yan Hong nodded and said, "Not bad." I asked him if he had any evidence, and he said no, but it wasn't as simple as that in his expression. And when he said goodbye, he smiled faintly, and there was some bad intentions. ”

Zhang Qingyan said: "Xianggong wants to turn his enmity with his Shen family into friends, and it can also be said that he is a corporal and polite. But this Shen Lian has always been stinky and hard. That's fine. He still refused to hand over the evidence in his hands to the prime minister, and he was determined to testify in person after he went to Beijing. What kind of heart is he safe? ”

Yan Hong said: "If he really has these Yang Shun evidence in his hands and refuses to hand it over to me, it is not a big deal." Anyway, looking at Yang Shun's actions in Xuanda, he probably won't stay long. But I'm afraid that his unfulfilled intentions, what other plans he has, makes people unpredictable. Since this person has such a deep prejudice against my Yan family, and has been in the side court for several years, he must not be despised by all. ”

Zhang Qingyan said again: "There is another one, when the minister asked about Senior Sister Xia today, Shen Lian was also secretive and refused to say it directly. His son, Shen Gon, came in so quickly and was rude to the prime minister. Here's the inside story...... Hey, the concubine doesn't understand either. ”

Yan Hong thought of this, and his heart was unhappy again: "Qingyan, I was about to ask what happened, but how did you stop me?" ”

Zhang Qingyan pondered for a moment and said, "Xianggong, Shen Lian is clearly not telling you the truth, and it is useless to ask too much, but instead give him the opportunity to continue to deceive you." She thought about it again and gritted her teeth: "Xianggong, if you really want to know about this, the concubine has a plan." Only, only you have to promise me one thing. ”

Yan Hong said: "You say, what do you care? Whatever you want, I'll give you everything. ”

Zhang Qingyan said: "I don't want you to give me anything, I just want you to agree, never blame me for this, and never tell anyone else about this." In this Shenjiazhuang, there are too many mysteries. If the husband allows, the concubine will go to explore again. The first time I went today, I was dressed as a man, so no one recognized me. However, this fact is the act of a rooster and a dog thief, and Shen Lian is a dignified and famous person, if my master learns that I have committed this kind of behavior, he will never be spared. Even if the sisters in the rivers and lakes, or in our prime minister's mansion know about it in the future, most of them will laugh at me for not being ashamed. So, Xianggong, if you agree with me to go, I will go, but I only need you to know about this and know that I am going for you, then it is fine. Million...... Don't let anyone else know. Otherwise, I'll be completely ruined. Speaking of this, Zhang Qingyan's eyes already contained a layer of tears.

Yan Hong saw Zhang Qingyan's pitiful appearance, so he reached out and hugged her, stroked her hair and said, "Silly girl, how can I blame you?" Everything is for my good, and I am not unreasonable. ”

Zhang Qingyan choked up and said, "I know that my husband is good to me and smart." But just because my heart is tied to you, my senior sister doesn't like me, and Brother Shao and other heroes of the Loyalty League are afraid that they will look down on me, saying that I am attached to the powerful and greedy for wealth. That Shen Lian, I'm afraid that he will not be good for Xianggong, and I want to visit his Zhuangzi. If this is to be spread to the rivers and lakes, it will be impossible to gain a foothold. Also, if something bad happens, I'm afraid that Xianggong will be angry...... Xianggong, don't be angry with me. (To be continued......)
