The story of Liu De, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, harboring criminals, quickly spread.

"This is a completely trumped-up charge!" Liu De slapped the table, his face flushed with anger: "Why should I do such a thing? My lord, you know me, that Chen Die is a sinner girl, she has nothing to do with me at all, I harbor her? I don't even know how she got to Dali Temple! ”

Ge Gaozhan, the Qing of Dali Temple, sat behind the table and frowned, only to hear Liu De continue: "This is the kid surnamed Zou who slandered me!" This is a trap he designed, that kid always opposes me everywhere on weekdays, bent on squeezing out the lower officials, and begging the adults to investigate! ”

Ge Gaozhan was a thin middle-aged man with a long beard, smiled lightly when he heard this, twisted the small beard and said, "As the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, you don't even know that there are irrelevant people in prison?" Aren't the files of recent years being reorganized and the prisoners arraigned in the past two days? ”

"Yes, yes," Liu De hurriedly said: "But the lower officials really didn't see the prisoner named Chen Die in prison, so they said that Zou Shiyun was a false accusation." I don't know where this man was in the morning, how do I know? Don't say it's none of my business, if it's my doing. Xiaguan really hid a criminal girl in the prison of Dali Temple, and he would never pick at this time, and he would transport people out in broad daylight, isn't this obviously for people to be arrested? ”

Liu De said it reasonably, Ge Gaozhan smacked, nodded and said, "Reasonable," so he said: "Then what do you think about this matter?" ”

When Liu De heard this tone, he knew that there was a play, and hurriedly said: "According to the lower officials, this is Zou Shiyun's self-directed and self-acting, he rescued Chen Die, and deliberately arranged her to appear at that time, just to harm the lower officials." ”

Ge Gaozhan squinted, thinking that this remark was quite interesting, and asked: "He didn't hesitate to risk offending the Lin family and the Zhang family to rescue a Chen Die, just to frame you?" ”

The implication is, are you a little self-conscious?

Liu De's eyes widened and said, "Then what's the reason?" ”

"By the way, Lin Xiarong said that the reason why she came to Dali Temple was because she came with the people of the Chen family and Chen Die's relatives, but the carriage that the Chen family was sitting in was the carriage of the people around the Secret Guard Governor."

Ge Gaozhan couldn't help but ask, "You mean that the Overseer of the Dark Guard has something to do with this matter?" ”

"No," Liu De took his sleeve and tapped his head slightly: "I personally took someone to meet the carriage, and I watched it stop in front of the door and the people inside walked down." There is really only one person who will hand over the affairs of our temple, a coachman, and there is no Chen family at all. Lin Xiarong insisted again, she followed all the way, watched the person go up and didn't come down, and insisted that the person was also hiding in my Dali Temple. ”

Liu De slapped his face and said, "My lord, isn't this ridiculous?" Is there anything I can do with my own eyes? No is no, I think this Lin Xiarong is also very strange, why don't you come early or late, but it's this time? Why did Zou Shiyun just catch Chen Die as soon as she came? Now Lin Xiarong is making more and more trouble, isn't it, isn't this clearly aimed at the lower officials! ”

Ge Gaozhan squinted his eyes and did not speak, with an unfathomable expression, Liu De was anxious, and wanted to say something, but at this time, someone suddenly came from outside the door to report: "My lord, the household servant is here." ”

Ge Gaozhan immediately responded, and glanced at Liu De, and Liu De reluctantly retreated.

His humble and eager face sank at the moment he stepped out of the threshold, and the humility disappeared without a trace, leaving only the gloomy anger that shrouded his brows and eyes. ”

"They are all in the hands of Zou Shiyun," the accompanying scribe hurriedly said: "Zou Shiyun does not have many credible people in Dali Temple, so he personally guards it and watches it closely." ”

The two walked a long way and walked into the quiet and unmanned aisle, Liu De gritted his teeth and said gloomily: "What did I tell you at the beginning?" Teach you to arrange it firmly and go with a tight mouth, who are the people you arranged! People said that they were tortured to extract confessions, but Zou Shiyun just yelled two heavy words, and he didn't even ask questions, so he recruited me, you are really a good thing. ”

Liu De stared at him for a long time, suddenly laughed, and said, "It's okay, now you are still saved, you just try your best to make amends for me." ”

He smiled coldly, and even though the scribe with his head down, he felt a sudden chill on his back.

Without waiting for him to say anything more, Liu De had already taken another step and continued to walk forward.

"Oh? What about your cousin? ”

Song Chuanbai sprinkled another handful of food outside the small building, and the round long-tailed little finches all over the ground chirped and competed, and the broken jade wind under the eaves of the small building sounded clearly.

Wang Mu snorted with a straight face, and said: "Xia Rong made too much trouble, sat in the Dali Temple and didn't leave or talk, and reported the matter to the household servant and my uncle, and insisted on asking them to give an explanation." ”

"Hmm," a miscellaneous finch with a round little belly, jumped on Song Chuanbai's boots, and pecked at the top of the brocade boots, Song Chuanbai looked at it funny, and couldn't help but smile a little on his face, and said: "This also understands that after all, it was the murderer of her fiancé - or the murderer of her childhood sweetheart, and as a result, she was sentenced to execution, and she was rescued by someone who dropped her bag, so it is natural to be angry." ”

Wang Mu shook his head and said, "Do you believe that the woman killed her?" There is no evidence that stands up at all, I am afraid that it is a trick. ”

Song Chuanbai smiled slightly, and Wang Mu continued: "The Zhang family kept silent about this matter, and hurriedly wanted to cover the murderer's coffin, obviously because they didn't want to make things bigger. ”

Wang Mu looked at Song Chuanbai's smiling expression, and unconsciously added: "I'm not saying that it's bad to make a big fuss, but in this way, Lin Xiarong pushed himself into the mouth of the people again." She is a girl's family, her fiancé has died, she is so unforgiving, and she is bold and arrogant, how can she find a good husband for herself in the future and live a good life? ”

"She's not in a hurry herself, what's the worry about you as a brother?" Song Chuanbai's toes clicked a little, and the stupid little finch followed a few times, and quickly chirped and fluttered his little wings to stand firm.

"You're still playing." Seeing this, Wang Mu couldn't help but say a word, stomped his feet, frightened the little thing into wings, and without stepping on one of his two thin claws, he rolled off Song Chuan's white boots in a daze, and screamed in a panic.

Song Chuanbai laughed, Wang Mu drove down the stupid thing, his heart was a little satisfied, and continued: "What's the matter with the household servant? You made it clear to me. A few days ago, you just had a very good time with Wu Hanchi in Chaoshang, so forget it? Presumably not. ”

Song Chuanbai looked down at the finches fighting for food all over the ground, and said, "What else can it be?" ”

"As soon as Zhang Huan dies, the household ......" Song Chuanbai casually poured all the food in his hand back into the finely carved wood carved food box, clapped his hands, and said meaningfully: "It can't be an iron bucket that is not invaded." ”

There were hurried and eager footsteps outside the small building, startling a flock of birds to flap their wings and fly in shock, and the black rose and fell.

The blue sky was flowing and the clouds were flowing, and the sound of birds flying attracted Chen Tongsheng's attention, she glanced in the direction of the Water Pavilion Flower Garden, and then asked, "Master Hou, who are you seeing?" ”

"Prince Wang Mu." Yansha replied, and went to the dining room to see that today's dinner was ready, and Wang Mu was going to stay in the Hou Mansion to eat.

Chen Tongsheng remembered this person, it was he who brought Fang Xuanlin's bastard into the Hou Mansion in the first place, and let Song Chuanbai help him get out of the danger of almost the East Window incident.

Chen Tongsheng didn't want to see him very much, so he turned around and went to his room, but later in the evening, the maid came to knock on Chen Tongsheng's door and said, "Master Hou asked the girl to eat." ”

Chen Tongsheng was a little strange, so he opened the door and asked, "Are there guests, are there guests?" ”

"The girl means the prince?" The maid was quick-mouthed, glanced at her with powdered eyes, and said: "The prince has always been good friends with our marquis, and he is even half a master, and he is also friendly, so the girl doesn't have to be ashamed." ”

Half of the master, she dares to boast.

Chen Tongsheng had no choice but to nod and said, "I'll go later." ”

"The guests and the Hou Ye are waiting, don't delay, girl, let's go."

Chen Tongsheng simply stood there and looked at her: "Call you, or will I go?" ”

The maid paused, and her voice was a little quieter: "Naturally, it's a girl......"

"Wait."

Chen Tongsheng closed the door.

Dinner was placed at the back of the Water Pavilion Flower Garden, Song Chuanbai was originally pouring a glass of wine with Wang Mu and drinking himself, when he heard the slight footsteps, so he turned his head sideways and smiled: "It's considered to be here, why are you so inactive today?" ”

Before the words fell, Song Chuanbai was slightly stunned the moment he saw Chen Tongsheng, and then narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

Chen Tongsheng was not dressed in a short dress on weekdays, she wore a goose yellow and tender skirt, draped in a silk, and when she walked over with her eyes down, she looked very gentle and lovely.

Wang Mu was also stunned when he saw her, then looked away and coughed, "This is Miss Chen, right?" ”

Chen Tongsheng happily responded and sat down quickly.

The moment she raised her eyes, the essence and temperament in her eyes dispelled the original illusion of gentleness, but it was covered up by Chen Tongsheng's action of drinking tea.

The table was full of exquisite dishes, during which Song Chuanbai and Wang Mu chatted about some jokes about their previous jokes, and the atmosphere was very relaxed for a while.

Chen Tongsheng restrained his love for the roasted beef, absentmindedly ate a few bites of the vegetarian dish in front of him, and couldn't help but stretch his chopsticks on the beef, just caught a piece, Wang Mu talked about his naughty cousin again, she couldn't help but hear Song Chuanbai said: "Yes, Lin Xiarong is simply a leather monkey, she went back to my Hou Mansion, almost tied up the mermaid and roasted it, and said that it was revenge for you." ”

Lin Xiarong ...... Is it Wang Mu's cousin?

Chen Tongsheng took a mouthful of meat in his mouth and raised his eyes to look at Wang Mu. It really doesn't look like there's any blood relationship, Wang Mu looks upright, and he can't imagine that he has such a close relationship with Lin Xiarong's pampered eldest lady.

However, thinking of what he did before, Chen Tongsheng was also relieved: people still can't be good-looking.

At the end of dinner, Song Chuanbai only introduced Chen Tongsheng to Wang Mu, Wang Mu did not doubt her surname, and frequently came into contact with her eyes during the banquet, and smiled kindly.

After that, Wang Mu stayed in the Hou Mansion for about a cup of tea, and then left.

He boarded the carriage, but as soon as he got in, he immediately felt that there was someone on the other side, and he was shocked that the carriage had already started.

The man said softly, "Don't panic. ”

Wang Mu said: "Miss Chen? ”

Chen Tongsheng asked: "Fang Cai, or a girl, now, has she become a young lady?" ”

Generally, you can't notice this subtle change of title, but for Wang Mu, Chen Tongsheng is very sensitive to Wang Mu's identity after all.

Girl is a general term, but Miss Chan ...... In fact, it means referring to her identity as Miss Chen's family.

Wang Mu didn't answer and asked, "What is Miss Chen doing in my car?" ”

Chen Tongsheng said softly: "Lin Xiarong, you can't stop. ”

“…… What did you say? ”

"Wang Gongzi has a close relationship with Lin and Miss Lin, presumably because he doesn't want to teach her and participates."

Wang Mu's face sank, and he asked rhetorically: "What does this matter have to do with Miss Chen?" ”

"Am I not doing things for, Master Hou?" Chen Tongsheng said: "If Lin Xiarong withdraws from this matter, then it will not be investigated." ”

"Miss Chen, the perpetrator is also your family after all, and you are so pressing, you have some meaning of killing everything."

"Sure enough, you know."

Wang Mu didn't respond, but he didn't deny it, Chen Tongsheng continued: "Today, what Lin Xiarong did, Gongzi must have already known. ”

Wang Mu smiled lightly and leaned back: "Oh...... It turns out that that person is really you. ”

"You led Xia Rong to Dali Temple, borrowed her hand to stir it, and took advantage of the long-standing weaknesses of Zou Shiyun and Liu De, the two Shaoqing in Dali Temple, to escalate this matter more and more seriously, is that so?" Wang Mu said: "It's really smart, and it deserves to be the person Ziling fancies." It's just why would you want to do it? You and Chen ...... Chen Die, what old grievances are there? ”

"Old grudges." Chen Tongsheng said: "Yes, so to speak, I do, a little resentful. ”
