"Let's go, let's see." Shen Nianzhen said in a deep voice.

The painting nodded, and the master and servant came out of the house, and the people who came and went in the courtyard looked panicked. She ignored them, but hurried to the upper room of Chunhui Courtyard.

As soon as she entered the house, she was surprised to see that Imperial Doctor Liu was actually there.

It's just that his face was ugly, and when he saw Shen Nianzhen coming in, he said a little angrily: "You invited me to come, it turned out to be to treat the man who killed someone in that brothel!" If I had known it was him, the old man would never have come! ”

After speaking, he made a gesture at the old lady Shen, and then threw his sleeves away.

Shen Nianzhen stood on the ground, and saw that Mrs. Shen's face was blue for a while, red for a while, her lips were open and harmonious, and she couldn't say a word.

She stepped forward with a wry smile: "Grandmother, it's no longer time for you to get rid of your second cousin and them, and the people in Beijing may not be able to tolerate them......"

How could Mrs. Shen not know that Shen Yunqi was a loser, and staying in Shangjing would do more harm to the Shen family. But after all, it was her own grandson, and she was really reluctant.

I can't help it.

Now, Shen Yunqi is already a cancer that endangers the safety of the Shen family, and it is time to give it up.

"Come on, help me out, I'll meet those people!"

Mrs. Shen held Mama Zhou's hand, stood up and said, "Our Shen family's lintel!" There is no room for slander from others! ”

"Old lady." The third lady, Ding, hurried over with someone.

Shen Nianzhen glanced at it and saw that there was no one behind her, so she asked, "What about the second aunt?" ”

"Old lady!" Ding opened his mouth and was about to speak, when someone hurried over to report: "Oh no! The second lady took the second lady and sneaked out of the back door! I don't know where it went! ”

"Bastard! Seeing the sky, now it's her turn to come forward! But he fled! Old Lady Shen cursed angrily.

Shen Nianzhen had the impression that he had never seen an old lady so angry.

"Grandmother, don't be angry." She opened her mouth to comfort: "Let Mama Zhou help you in and lie down!" Relax your heart, this matter is not a big deal, I will go out with the third aunt to have a look now, although there is no man in our Shen family at home, we can't allow others to trample on it! If they are still entangled, then throw the second cousin out! Anyway, it's his fault! ”

"Well said!" Ding Shi nodded immediately when he heard this: "Zhen'er, aunt will go with you." ”

At the critical moment, someone was finally willing to stand up.

Shen Nianzhen's eyes couldn't help but moisten slightly.

Shen Nianzhu originally stood silently on the side, and said coldly when she heard the words: "Since you are going, then hurry up!" My mother hasn't eaten early in the morning! ”

"Pearl." The third lady Ding looked at her with disgust.

Shen Nianzhen had already brought over a plate of pastries and tea: "Third aunt, let's eat some simply, we are not in a hurry." ”

Where can the third lady eat? hurriedly refused: "Miss, I think it's better to go out and have a look first, otherwise, in this case, there should be no one at home to eat." ”

That's right.

Shen Nianzhen sighed, asked people to collect snacks, straighten their clothes, and took the third lady and Shen Nianzhu to the front gate together.

On the way, Shen Nianzhen asked Ruhua: "Has the person sent to find my eldest brother come back?" ”

"Miss, haven't ...... yet"

"It's okay." Shen Nianzhen took a deep breath and said, "Even if we don't have a big brother and a father, we can handle it!" ”

As they spoke, the three of them had already walked through the second gate and walked forward.

Because of the closeness, I could already faintly hear the noise outside, as if the roof was about to be torn over.

Although Shen Nianzhen had already imagined that scene, he was still a little surprised when he heard this battle: "How many people are there outside?" ”

"Miss Hui, the Suzaku Street outside our house has been blocked by the water, and it is roughly estimated that there are at least one hundred and ten people going up."

So many people! Shen Nianzhen gasped.

There is a faint worry in my heart, I am afraid that today's matter will not be good.

The two families who were beaten to death by Shen Yunqi had already received the 10,000 taels of silver that Shen heavily compensated them a few days ago, promising not to make any more trouble, why did they suddenly make trouble again today? What happened in between?

Shen Nianzhen was puzzled.

Thinking about it, they were already in front of the gate.

It was already three poles in the sun, and the scorching sun was in the sky, but the gate of the Shen family was tightly closed, and countless guards were guarding the door, listening to the shouting and scolding outside, no one dared to step forward.

"Let's let go, the eldest lady and the third lady are here!"

Everyone got out of the way and let Shen Nianzhen and the others pass.

Shen Nianzhen stood still in front of the gate, looking at the two heavy vermilion wooden doors with heavy eyes, listening to the increasingly lively shouts outside, he could almost imagine the faces of those people shouting outside.

Do they know the truth? Just make a fuss?

Haven't you been bewitched by others?

In these years, the people have a sense of awe for the noble family, and few people will make such a fuss, and today's events, few people are fanning the flames behind their backs.

Who is it?

Lu Yiming?

The name popped up in Shen Nianzhen's mind in an instant.

But soon, she shook her head, it shouldn't be, no matter how unwilling Lu Yiming is, he has to marry Shen Nianci, Shen Yunqi is his brother-in-law, if he makes his reputation, he won't get any benefits for himself.

Could it be that he wanted to take this opportunity to break off the marriage contract with the Shen family?

It's possible!

Shen Nianzhen's eyes swelled with a fire of anger, he took a step forward, stretched out his hand and pulled the door bolt, and when he was about to open the door, an exclamation came from behind him: "Miss! Don't open the door! Those people out there are crazy! I just injured two people! ”

Shen Nianzhen turned around and saw that the two little guys guarding the gate had colors on their faces.

"How dare they beat people?" Her face instantly turned cold.

"Yes! Those people shouted, let the second son hand over! Otherwise, the gate will be blocked all the time! The little guy covered his face and said.

Shen Nianzhen was angry when he heard this, and he didn't care about the heavy door at the moment!

The onlookers who were shouting outside were instantly silenced.

They looked at Shen Nianzhen who appeared in the door blankly, this little girl is really good-looking! The skin is delicate, the face is pretty, a long pink and tender debt sleeve placket, and a pleated skirt with moon-white embroidered magnolia flowers, standing there, beautiful as if she is a fairy who came out of a painting.

But soon, the crowd shouted again: "Who are you?" Tell your adults to come out! If we don't hand over Shen Yunqi, who committed murder on the street, today, we will never leave! ”

"This seems to be the young lady of the house? This family is said to have made a marriage with the second prince......"

Second Prince......

The crowd fell silent again.

Shen Nianzhen raised his eyes and swept towards the crowd, looking at the two corpses parked in front of the gate of the Shen family, covered with white cloths, searching for the Zhao family and the Li family in the crowd, and said in an indifferent voice: "People have been dead for so many days, can't 60,000 taels of silver make you buy a better coffin and bury people?" After collecting the money and making trouble, you guys are going back on your word! ”

"Sixty thousand taels of silver? So much! I'm a good girl! ”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd suddenly resounded with the sound of gasping one after another.

The two families who received the silver suddenly looked uncomfortable, but relying on the strength of the large number of people, they shouted at Shen Nianzhen: "What 60,000 taels of silver!" It's all your! We didn't see it! ”

"That's it! We didn't see it! ”

"Really?"

Shen Nianzhen took out a note from his sleeve, shook it away in the wind, held it high above his head, and let everyone watch: "You can see it clearly!" It is written above, the two of you each charge the Shen family 30,000 taels of silver tickets, and the following is a drawing! And the seal of the government! This is a case that has been filed in the yamen! ”

The young master of the Shen family injured someone, and the people moved when they heard the news, and there were many discussions, and the impact was very bad, Shen Chong immediately went to find the injured person's family to compensate, and sent Shen Yunqi to the official mansion, and beat dozens of boards before this matter was suppressed.

Now, these people are actually denying it?

Shen Nianzhen admits that no amount of silver is more important than human life, but the Shen family, as well as her father Shen Chong, have done enough!

"Hand over the people! Hand over the people! ”

At this time, the crowd did not know who raised their heads, and then they shouted, louder and louder.

Shen Nianzhen said slowly: "The murderer you are looking for was seriously ill last night, and now there is only one breath, we just carry it, and we can't carry people out, you better go back, it's not interesting to make a fuss here." ”

"You say you're seriously ill? We don't believe it! Someone in the crowd shouted.

Soon, there were countless vassals.

Shen Nian was really helpless, it was impossible to send people out, and Mrs. Shen would never agree.

But what if you don't send people out, and they won't leave?

"Kill her! The Shen family doesn't have a good thing! ”

At this moment, the crowd didn't know who threw a rotten egg at Shen Nianzhen.

With a snap, the egg landed on Shen Nianzhen's shoulder, and the fishy yellow stench emitted along with the viscous liquid flowing. Several subordinates standing beside Shen Nianzhen immediately covered their mouths and vomited.

"How can you hit someone!"

Ding took a step forward, protected Shen Nianzhen in his arms, and said angrily at the people below: "Can't you talk well!" ”

"It's you guys who hit you! Officials protect each other, and care for people's lives! A small family! Get out of Beijing and go to Beijing! ”

"Get out of Beijing and go to Beijing!"

"Get out of Beijing and go to Beijing!"

……

Shen Nianzhen's face gradually became difficult to look at.

Officials protect each other, careless of human life, these words don't seem to be said casually! Rather, it was premeditated! The purpose of these people is not Shen Yunqi at all, but her father Shen Zheng! These men are trying to tarnish his father's reputation!

"Miss, let's go back......"

Ruhua squeezed over from the crowd, took a handkerchief and wiped the rotten eggs on Shen Nianzhen's body without disgust, and persuaded in a low voice: "After a while, the master should come back......"

Before the words fell, on the long street behind the crowd, there was a sudden sound of heavy horses' hooves, getting closer and closer.

The onlookers who were shouting to get out of Beijing just now suddenly turned their heads one after another.

After a while, a large group of forbidden troops wearing silver armor rushed over, and almost instantly, surrounded the group of people who were making trouble in front of the Shen family.

"What is this for?" This time, it was their turn to panic.

Yet no one paid any attention to them.

At the end of the long street, a carriage was slowly used, gorgeous and spacious, and countless ribbons were hung around the carriage, which looked very sassy.

Around the carriage, there were also forbidden troops.

I don't know who it is, and suddenly shouted: "It's His Royal Highness the Second Prince!" ”

Shen Nianzhen raised his head in surprise, watching the very familiar carriage gradually move in front of him, and the curtain made of Biyun yarn was slowly opened by a slender and white finger, and then, Rong Chen's face was revealed with beautiful eyebrows and not stained with dust.

The crowd unconsciously moved out of the way and let Rong Chen's carriage move in front of him.

A guard held a spear, wanting to pick aside the two corpses placed in front of the gate of the Shen family, Rong Chen raised his hand and waved it, and said indifferently: "After all, it is my people of Dazhou, this is not good, let's lift it aside." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Immediately, a guard answered.

Soon, the body was lifted.

In front of everyone's eyes, Rong Chen got out of the carriage, and then walked all the way to Shen Nianzhen, and smiled at her: "Are you okay?" ”

As the words fell, he sniffed his good-looking nose.

The next moment, the smile like a spring breeze turned into a wind knife in the cold winter.

"Why does it stink so much? Who did it? ”

A simple sentence, but with invisible pressure.

The people around them dispersed in an uproar, standing far away, for fear that they would be recognized, and the person who smashed Shen Nianzhen with rotten eggs even lowered his head and hid in the crowd, trembling with fright.

"It's nothing, why did Your Highness come." Shen Nianzhen pinched her nose and said, she couldn't stand the smell either.

"This palace heard that someone ignored the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty and gathered a crowd to make trouble, and actually surrounded the gate of his father-in-law's house, so he naturally wanted to come and take a look." Rong Chen didn't dislike it much, and asked slowly, "Are those people?" ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the Zhao and Li families who were standing there alone after the crowd retreated.

The two families were frightened, and they knelt down with a plop, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince! Not us! Someone instructed it! Right! Someone instructed it! ”

"You mean, someone instructed you to come to the Shen family to make trouble?" Shen Nianzhen asked angrily.

Touching her gaze, the two families immediately lowered their heads.

After a while, a person timidly spoke: "We can't do it, Commander Shen paid us so much silver, early, it was enough for us to spend a lifetime, yesterday, someone went to our house and forced us to come and make trouble, if we don't agree, he will kill us and kill us......"

The truth of this matter is actually like this.

The people around were suddenly talking, and it was even more lively than just now.

"Who is the one who instructed you?" Shen Nianzhen asked eagerly.

"He's masked, the little one doesn't know!"

The two families raised their heads and begged for mercy desperately: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince! Please spare the grass people! ”

"It is a capital crime to disturb the important ministers of the court." Rong Chen said expressionlessly: "Besides, you have already collected the silver, but you still come here to make trouble, it is really a bad character, if you don't punish it heavily, won't it make people question the laws of our Great Zhou?" ”

"Your Highness spares your life! Your Highness spares your life! ”

A few people were scared or something, and they kowtowed desperately.

However, Rong Chen has never been a magnanimous person, he looked down at the stains on Shen Nianzhen's clothes, his eyebrows and eyes became deep, and his face was expressionless: "Come on, send them to the yamen, let Jing Zhaoyin deal with them, some people in the province say that this king's hand is too long, and the tube is too wide." ”

As soon as the words fell, a guard stepped forward and pulled up a few people who were kneeling on the ground and kept crying and took them away.

There were so many onlookers, and no one said a word.

All that remained on the ground were the two bodies covered in white cloth.

"This palace is also for your good, the master behind the scenes, seeing that you have not completed the task, Bacheng is going to kill people and destroy your mouth, and it is better to enter the yamen than to die silently, right?" Rong Chen muttered to himself.

Hearing this, the people who were watching the excitement around turned around and left, for fear of being remembered.

With a wave of his hand, Rong Chen asked people to lift the two corpses, buy two coffins, and send them outside the city for burial.

"Your Highness."

Shen Nianzhen saluted and said: "Thank you Your Highness for coming to the rescue today, it's just that after all, it was my cousin who killed them, and the coffin and funeral expenses will be paid by our Shen family!" ”

"It's fine." Rong Chen nodded.

Ding said with a smile on the side: "Your Highness, since you are here, why don't you go in and have a cup of tea!" ”

Shen Nianzhen remembered the love she had just taken to heart, and when she heard the words, she smiled at Rong Chen: "Yes, Your Highness, have a cup of tea and leave." ”

For the first time, she felt grateful to Rong Chen from the bottom of her heart.

"Okay."

Rong Chen hooked the corners of his mouth, raised his feet and strode towards the door.

Shen Nianzhen hurriedly followed.

Ding Shi tugged at her sleeve and lowered his voice: "Miss, I'll take him to see the old lady, you hurry up and change your clothes." As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Nianzhen's shoulder.

There, there were still some stains of rotten eggs, and there was a faint stench.

Wearing such clothes to go to Chunhui Courtyard was not only rude, but also worried the old lady, and Ding was very thoughtful.

Shen Nianzhen nodded immediately when he heard this: "Then thank you to the third aunt." ”

"Nothing, it's all as it should be." Ding smiled shyly.

Shen Nianzhen then went back to his yard to bathe and change clothes, but just a few steps away, he heard footsteps behind him.

She turned around in surprise and saw Shen Nianzhu following.

"My mother called me here, she was afraid that you wouldn't be able to do it alone." Shen Nianzhu said expressionlessly.

Shen Nianzhen thought about it for a while, and then understood.

Shen Nianci took advantage of the birthday banquet to hook up with Lu Yiming and fall into the water, Ding was afraid that she would be too careful, so he specially sent Shen Nianzhu over, nominally to accompany her, but to prevent his daughter from having too much contact with the second prince.

After all, the second prince is Shen Nianzhen's fiancé.

Ding carried it very clearly.

"Okay, let's do it together." Shen Nianzhen smiled slightly, she didn't care about Shen Nianzhu's cold face at all, after getting along for a long time, she knew that Shen Nianzhu was actually not very good at communicating with people, but she definitely didn't have any bad intentions to harm others.

It's much more comfortable to get along with this.

Shen Nianzhu snorted coldly: "I see that His Royal Highness the Second Prince came today to settle accounts with you!" Be careful! ”

As he spoke, there was a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes.

"How do you see that?" Shen Nianzhen asked in surprise.

Shen Nianzhu didn't speak.

Shen Nianzhen smiled disappreciatively, and didn't pay much attention to it.

When he arrived at Liuzhen Pavilion, Shen Nianzhen went in to bathe and change clothes, and Shen Nianzhu sat in the flower hall casually, watching some calligraphy and paintings placed at random.

But at this moment, Shen Nianzhu twitched the corner of her eyes, and suddenly saw a tall figure flash in the courtyard.
