Zou Shiyun's original idea was still Yang Hehou behind Chen Tongsheng, but what he didn't expect was that Chen Tongsheng did not ask Song Chuanbai for help. And also to the wrong point.

What Chen Tongsheng didn't expect was that Song Chuanbai was so indifferent to this matter.

Generally speaking, as long as Feiguang is involved, Song Chuanbai will check it, but when Chen Tongsheng mentioned that Zhang Huan's death was related to Feiguang, Song Chuanbai did not react.

Referring to Song Chuanbai's appearance of knowing everything on the surface, but actually hiding it, Chen Tongsheng felt that he should not be very cold about it, but he just didn't show it to her.

Thinking of this, Chen Tongsheng frowned, and said coldly to Zou Shiyun: "What are you going to borrow from the Lin family?" ”

Before Zou Shiyun could answer, she asked another question: "Chen Die, where is it?" ”

Zou Shiyun raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Miss Chen, she is your sister." Isn't it good to teach her to run away from death and live? Or is there something difficult between you, similar to the entanglement between the concubine and the concubine, and she has to die? ”

Chen Tongsheng seemed to think that these words were quite interesting, and a sarcastic smile appeared on her face: "How do you know...... Will she live? ”

Zou Shiyun was stunned.

"Tell me, where is she?"

"I don't know this," Zou Shiyun smiled and said meaningfully, "If I can understand the things here, why did I come here today?" ”

Chen Tongsheng turned around and left.

——————

The Chen family has no backers who can make a little movement relationship in the yamen through the hands of the household servant and the Lin family, so once someone comes up with a "tanuki for the prince" to save Chen Die, then it must be against Chen Die himself, not the Chen family's forces.

But why did that person help Chen Die?

What is she worth?

Chen Tongsheng's first exclusion is the possibility of having a relationship with Chen Die, and even having a relationship between men and women, if someone with this ability is there, then Chen Die would not have done a stupid thing to send to the door in the first place.

Only utilization remains.

Chen Die.

Old.

This tanuki for the prince was definitely communicated with Chen Die in advance, which is why Chen Die didn't ask Chen Tongsheng for help at the beginning, and took the initiative to admit his guilt. Although Chen Die was not the person who directly caused Zhang Huan's bizarre death, she definitely had something to do with this matter, not just the most superficial relationship of fornication, if she could be found, Chen Tongsheng thought, maybe he would be able to understand the relationship between Zhang Huan's death and Feiguang.

At present, the most direct way is to go directly to the yamen to find someone, if the yamen can't hand over people, then coercion and temptation, and you can always ask one, two, three.

But Chen Tongsheng is far from having this power, and she now has the name of Yang and Hou Mansion on her body, she broke in at this end, and Song Chuanbai had to send someone to deal with this matter and bring her back. It's the next step.

In addition, Lin Xiarong will definitely use this trick, she will definitely go to the yamen after she finishes making trouble at the execution ground, she can make trouble justifiably and fairly, after all, this is the wife of the victim who has not passed the door, or a rival in love, not to mention exposing Chen Die's fake death in public, even if she proposed to hang this little cheap hoof with her own hands, no one will find it strange.

But she shouldn't be able to make a fuss.

She thought that she was still a little dazed for a while, and she didn't know where to start, she had neither power nor any sources, and the only option she could provide was to sneak up on the yamen, which was to go back to Song Chuanbai to report and hope that he would come forward.

The more time passes, the harder it will be to find Chen's whereabouts, and at least she won't risk staying in Kyoto again.

Chen Tongsheng's footsteps faltered slightly, and at this time, a carriage turned from the corner of the street, and a person jumped down from the distance, trotted towards Chen Tongsheng, and said respectfully: "Miss Chen, we adults want to see you." ”

Chen Tongsheng stepped back vigilantly and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The other party seemed to bend his waist humbly: "Your senior brother." ”

Mi Tian Si Secret Guard Overseer, Ruan Cheng.

Speaking of Ruan Cheng, Chen Tongsheng remembered that he had inexplicably proposed marriage to the empress, and suddenly became angry, raised his feet and walked in the direction of the carriage, unceremoniously stepped on the pedals, and sat in the car.

The last time she met Ruan Cheng was a few months ago, when she avenged her master, Ruan Cheng took her away from the Chen family and wanted to save her life, but she was cut off by Song Chuanbai halfway.

Seeing it now, Ruan Cheng is still familiar in his memory, except that the color and pattern of the dark guard whale pattern robe have been raised by more than one level, he has not changed much.

On the contrary, as soon as Chen Tongsheng sat down, Ruan Cheng looked at her and said, "Long time no see...... You've been sleeping hard lately. ”

Chen Tongsheng replied: "It has always been so. ”

She was more unscrupulous towards Ruan Cheng, after all, in the beginning, in addition to the master, the person she had the most contact with was Ruan Cheng, and she called him a senior brother. Something happened, Ruan Cheng still wanted to save her.

"Don't you have anything to ask me?" Ruan Cheng smiled slightly and said, "It's really embarrassing for you to be able to say to the empress that you don't like men." ”

Chen Tongsheng looked around, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it in one go, licked his lips and asked, "Why?" ”

Her series of actions went smoothly, especially the last move, which made the man opposite silent for a moment, and instead of answering, he asked, "What why?" ”

"Why do you suddenly want to marry me?"

Ruan Cheng's face is very tough, the high bridge of the nose shows a very sharp arc in the carriage of light and shadow, he is a traditional handsome appearance, and his sitting all exudes a man's unique fierce atmosphere.

With a subtle, indescribable smile on his face, he said slowly: "Since ancient times, there has been only one reason for a man to ask a girl's family...... Don't you understand why? ”

Ruan Cheng's smile is actually very faint, not the kind of expression that can be seen at a glance and is turned into a smile. It was the pleasure in his heart that was irrepressibly revealed from the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, showing a kind of joy, which made people feel that he was laughing. When a person is happy in his heart, even if he has no expression, he can still feel that he is happy.

What is there to be happy about? Chen Tongsheng thought, because I rejected your proposal? Would I rather like a woman than marry you?

"You're sick in the head. Nguyen Cheng. Chen Tongsheng said, she frowned: "Why do you want to take the initiative to sue me and tell the empress?" ”

Ruan Cheng looked at her for a moment, and only said in a half-loud voice, "I told Your Majesty?" No, it was Your Majesty who asked me about you. ”

"On the day I became the Lord, Your Majesty suddenly mentioned the other disciples under Master's name, and named them one by one, including your name. And asked me, it is said that among the disciples of Lord Fang during his lifetime, there is one who is extremely talented, and his strength is better than Xuanwu, which one is she? At that time, I knew that you had been exposed to His Majesty. ”

Chen Tongsheng turned the empty cup in his hand, frowning and thinking: "So, you asked Your Majesty to give you a marriage, and it was also out of the will of the master, the master." Think, protect me. ”

Ruan Cheng looked stunned when he heard this, and said subtly: "No, it's not entirely because of Master, it's also my request ...... Out of their own selfishness. ”

But Chen Tongsheng didn't pay attention to his words at all, and only said: "At the beginning, the empress is, why suddenly, ask me?" ”

At first, she thought that Ruan Cheng pushed her in front of the empress, which caused the empress to be interested in her, but now she found that this was not the case, on the contrary, no matter how Ruan Cheng answered, the empress could take the opportunity to propose to see her.

Chen Tongsheng pressed this and asked rhetorically: "You came to me, what's the matter?" ”

Ruan Cheng smiled bitterly: "Can't I come to you if I'm fine?" I remember when I went to Chen's house a few months ago to look for someone, I asked you, and said that you know why I came to you, and you replied that it was because I missed you. Now that I am here, you are like that. ”

Chen Tongsheng recalled: "At that time, you were quite unhappy when you listened to it. ”

"That's because you're in danger, and I don't care about the joke."

"So, come to me now, just kidding."

Ruan Cheng choked for a moment and defended: "What you said today is not a joke. ”

Chen Tongsheng put on an expression of "I believe your nonsense", which made Ruan Cheng sigh helplessly.

"So," Chen Tongsheng asked, "what were you busy with when you didn't come, looking for me?" ”

Ruan Cheng replied: "It's nothing more than some matters in the secret guard, you know, I just took office, and many of the next matters are tricky." ”

Chen Tongsheng looked at him and asked softly, "Why does the empress trust you?" ”

Ruan Cheng asked her for a moment, and said, "Recommended by others in Mi Tiansi, disciple Fang Heming ......"

"Master, how did you die," Chen Tongsheng looked at him and said, "I told you." In the Mitian Division, there are people who want to kill him. You are his disciple, how could they let you go, let you go? ”

"That's not about Your Majesty......"

"Relevant." Chen Tongsheng said firmly.

Even if it has nothing to do with her, it is definitely related to the empress's close ministers and favored ministers. Because Fang Heming first went to Kushui Village, it was to cooperate with Song Chuanbai's plan, and the sudden accident in Kushui Village and Fang Heming's sudden death caused the two plans to have to be interrupted. Who is against Song Chuanbai, Chen Tongsheng now knows a little.

In order to eradicate dissidents, these people borrowed knives to kill people, and secretly did a lot of things in Chen Cang, and the death of all the elders of the Northwest Fang family is an example, and Fang Heming, who has always had dealings with Song Chuanbai, is also one of their targets.

They were so close to the empress that they could compete with Song Chuanbai, who had always been favored, how could they teach Fang Heming's disciples to be the overseer of the secret guard of the Mitian Division?

How much power is in this position, don't they understand it in their hearts?

The Dark Guard belongs to the Secret Division, but in fact, the Overseer and the Secret Guardian can manage the Secret Guard at the same time, and the two of them are equal in status and power to the Dark Division.

In other words, when you become the overseer, at least half of the resources and information of the Mitensi are in your own hands. The people headed by Wu Hanchi, why don't they simply recommend their own people to go up?

If you say how much the empress values Fang Heming, it is not true, otherwise Fang Heming would not be dead until now.

Under Ruan Cheng's gaze, Chen Tongsheng raised his chin slightly and asked, "Answer me." ”

"Empress, why, trust you."

Ruan Cheng's eyes flashed, and he didn't answer for a long time. Chen Tongsheng ran out of patience, turned his head and was about to shout to stop, when Ruan Cheng suddenly moved, he suddenly approached, supported his hands on both sides of Chen Tongsheng's head, and looked down at her: "Don't you trust me, Kiryu?" ”

The two were very close at this time, which made Chen Tongsheng unconsciously frown and retreat, his back against the wall of the carriage.

Ruan Cheng's tone was eager: "I will take care of you like Master, and I will guarantee your safety like Master...... As long as you stay with me. It doesn't matter if you don't want to get married, it's just an excuse to show them, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to marry all the time. Stay by my side and you'll be safe. ”

Chen Tongsheng couldn't help but show a little sarcastic smile: "Where did you come from, where did you get your confidence?" ”

She went on to say, "So, you don't intend to tell me why." Like Master, will you hide from me until you die? ”

The corners of Chen Tongsheng's raised eyes are like peach petals soaked in ice water, showing a wonderful and gorgeous arc. At this moment, it is ridiculed, which does not make people feel disgusted, but teaches people to feel as if they have been hit in the heart, giving birth to panic, and faint numbness.

A thought suddenly popped up in Ruan Cheng's heart: even if this peach petal edge is like a sharp knife, as long as it can be touched, even if it is taught to cut it on the heart, it is willing.

Thinking so, he almost subconsciously moved closer to Chen Tongsheng, and the hand that was originally supporting the carriage was also removed, and his gaze was fixed on Chen Tongsheng's eyes, hooked on the few black hairs on his cheeks.
