Shangguan Yang sighed again and said: "It's really a shame to say, Xiaguan was also scared half to death at that time when he was old, and he often couldn't sleep at night, so I really scared me at the beginning, so I didn't dare to say these things at the beginning, alas, I have no face......"

He said with a little more shame on his face.

Shang Jingcheng nodded slightly and said: "Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will be a little scared, but for me, it feels a bit unbelievable, you say you hear a woman's cry?" Are you sure you actually heard? ”

Ah Yimeng shrunk in the chair and looked at him and asked, "Yes, did you really hear it?" Who do you think made that sound? Will it be, will it be that kind of thing? It's also horrible. ”

Xie Chuyao and Si Hao didn't speak, they just looked at him, waiting for his answer.

"That's for sure, didn't I hear me babbling? I heard it all, but there was a woman's voice crying. People say that when a person is unlucky, he will encounter that kind of thing, and maybe I really did encounter it, after all, the river is really not clean. Shangguan Yang's face was a little pale and pale as he spoke, he was really scared, and when he remembered that scene, his whole body trembled a little.

Xie Chuyao thought for a while and asked, "Were you alone at the time?" ”

"Yes, yes, I was the only one at the time, you don't know, that kind of situation really scared me." Maybe others will think that he, as a man, is frightened by such unbelievable things and thinks that he is timid and afraid. But at that time, he was experiencing the death of his mother, and his whole heart was extremely sad, and he would definitely be easily shocked when he encountered these things again.

"And who else knows about your trip to the river?" Xie Chuyao asked again.

At that time, I was in a trance, and I wanted to go to the river to mourn my old mother, ah, by the way, as far as my brother-in-law knew, he was going to accompany me over, but I was the only one who went back to the house for a while. Shangguan Yang said while reminiscing.

"Your brother-in-law knows, I think your brother-in-law is really powerful, he knows everything." Si Hao said while laughing, but the meaning of those words sounded a little wrong.

Shangguan Yang has been in officialdom for so many years, where can he not hear the connotation of his words? Hurriedly smiled and said: "Where is General Si Hao, my brother-in-law will know that it is entirely because he happened to come to see me at that time, I have always been occupied by the sadness of losing my mother, I can't eat and sleep well, and I don't care about things all day long, which makes him very worried, so he will come to see me every day, and bring me some supplements, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Si Hao smiled and said, "Lord Shangguan, don't be nervous, I just feel it, how is your brother-in-law?" Tell us about him. ”

"Hey, what does he have to say, he is a good old man, he always helps the townspeople in difficulty on weekdays, he is a good person in our town, and he is also very good at business, and the people in this town like him very much!" Shangguan Yang said, a touch of emptiness flashed on his face.

Xie Chuyao looked at him and said: "This is strange, if it is really a good person, then today's events will not happen, he is a good person on weekdays, and the character of the house slave should not be much worse, without evidence, he said that a fool stole his daughter's things, and beat people so badly, Lord Shangguan, your brother-in-law is really a good man!" Her words were full of madness.

Shangguan Yang wiped a handful of sweat and said: "Actually, there must be some misunderstanding in today's matter, he is not at home today, and he went out to eat and drink with me, how can he command his subordinates to do these things?" It is estimated that Tian Tian is not sensible, so he let those house slaves beat people, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. ”

"Misunderstanding? If it weren't for the fact that he happened to meet us today, the foolish mother and son would only become the resentful spirits of those house slaves, if it was really that fool who stole something, just ask questions, why do you still beat people? Xie Chuyao's voice became more and more serious, and Shangguan Yang became even more restless.

"Fifth princess, there is really a misunderstanding in this matter, if my brother-in-law is at home, he will never let such a thing happen, you don't want to let this matter go, I will go to the fool's house to make amends, my brother-in-law is really a good person." What he said was somewhat false.

Xie Chuyao didn't hold on anymore, she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll ask you, why did you go to drink with your brother-in-law today?" Is there anything to celebrate? ”

"Hey, it's just that the two in-laws get together, gossip, I haven't seen each other for a long time, how many people want to walk around, relatives, if you don't move around, you'll be unfamiliar, especially last night that Tian Tian saw the five princes and the five princesses in my place, this time I went back, that person, must be curious, so I asked a word or two casually." Shangguan Yang snorted and wanted to mix up.

Shang Jingcheng listened but asked again: "Then what did he tell you and what did he ask?" ”

"The five princes, this is a private matter between us, the five princes don't need to know, although the five princes have a noble status and can't afford to offend the officials, but the hands of the five princes are too long, right?" There was a touch of righteousness in Shangguan Yang's voice.

"Well, since that's the case, I won't ask any more, and tomorrow you will arrange for someone to tear down the wall by the river." Shang Jingcheng's tone was also much colder.

"Tear down the wall? Why? Shangguan Yang was stunned when he heard that the wall was going to be demolished, how did he think this thing had developed in this direction?

Xie Chuyao looked at him and smiled and said, "Because we suspect that someone has sealed the river for their own selfish interests, since you just said that you sealed the river because you heard the cry, then let's go and witness what is in the river." ”

"No, no, the five princes, the five princesses, can't tear down the wall, the wall is the most famous fifth uncle in the village, he is a god who knows astronomy and geography, he can tell fortunes, and he can also look at feng shui, he said that the feng shui of the river is not good, only by sealing the river, there will be no more terrible things happening, so, five princes, don't ruin the peace of the past two years on impulse!" Shangguan Yang said anxiously, he didn't care about any princes and subordinates at this time, he just wanted to block the thoughts of these five princes.

Shang Jingcheng looked at him coldly and said, "That fifth uncle is so powerful? Who is he? Why don't you pass someone on and let us hear what he has to say! "I actually pulled out another fifth uncle, and he was also a part of this matter.

Shangguan Yang was stunned for a while, and then said in embarrassment: "But the fifth uncle is not so easy to invite, he is not in the town on weekdays, and he can only be seen occasionally, so I don't know if he is at home now......" He said here and glanced up at Shang Jingcheng, but found that his eyes were as sharp as arrows, and he panicked all of a sudden, and immediately called for humanity, "Come on, hurry, now go to the east of the town, invite the fifth uncle over, go quickly." ”

The two officials who were guarding the hall received the order and immediately went out.

"Five, five princes, five princesses, you wait, this person will bring it to you." He found that his tongue was becoming more and more unfavorable to speak, it seems that this superior has been in power for a long time, and the coercion is really not said casually, and this casual release makes him feel breathless.

Shang Jingcheng saw him like this, anyway, he slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip and said, "Lord County Commander is not in a hurry, come here, let's sit together and wait." ”

"Hehe, Xia Guan is still standing here and waiting, anyway, this is just full, and it is easy to digest when standing, hehe, hehe......" Where does he dare to sit next to him now, just standing here is frightened by the coercion emanating from his body, and if he sits down again, he won't faint directly It's really hard to say.

Seeing his frightened look, Xie Chuyao couldn't help but smile lightly and said, "Shangguan County Order doesn't have to be afraid, he won't eat people, you just sit down." ”

"This, this ......" Shangguan Yang secretly glanced at Shang Jingcheng, and saw that he was just drinking tea there slowly, and he couldn't see his joy and anger at all, which made him somewhat hesitant, but now that the fifth imperial concubine spoke again, it was not good for him to push it any longer, and when he was in a dilemma, he heard a hearty laughter outside.

"Haha, why is my brother-in-law also punished today, you are punishing people on weekdays, now you know the posture of being punished, right?" With the voice came a slender figure, the man looked about thirty or forty, and he was about the same age as this Shangguan Yang.

Shangguan Yang was a little stunned the moment he heard the voice, he turned around and looked over very quickly, sure enough, it was his brother-in-law, which made his heart suddenly worried, how could this person come when he said it, and he didn't say hello, didn't he hit the gun in this situation now?

"Why are you here?" Shangguan Yang looked at him worriedly and asked.

"Oh, you left this thing in the restaurant, I'm here to return your thing." After he replied to Shangguan Yang's words, he arched his hand towards Shang Jingcheng and Xie Chuyao, knelt down and saluted generously, "What is the use of the grass people, I have seen the five princes and the five princesses, the two nobles are auspicious and healthy. ”

This person's salute looks a little down-and-out and generous, but how this etiquette looks a little awkward, Xie Chuyao was a little puzzled, so he heard Shang Jingcheng say lightly: "It turns out that He Yuanwai is from Liguo." ”

Liguo is a neighbor of the Jin State, and on weekdays, it belongs to the well water and does not interfere with the river water, but there will be some friction between the border defense of the two countries.
