After Xu Yan left the palace, he returned to the Shilang Mansion exhausted.

Yang Shi greeted him and asked softly, "What does the government say?" Is there any question about the Holy One? ”

Xu Yan shook his head and said, "What Liu Shangshu means is that if you can't prove your innocence, it's better to suffer a dumb loss early, than to make a fuss and make a lot of noise all over the city." Although the Holy One did not ask, sooner or later he would have heard about it. ”

Yang's heart sank.

Liu Shangshu's truth, she doesn't understand.

People in the world always say that suffering losses is a blessing, but it also depends on what kind of losses you eat.

Is this loss so delicious?

Yes, Xu Yan slept with a woman when he was treating the disaster in the two lakes, even if it was a big belly, it was not a sin to lose his head.

Except for those who watch the play, who cares who sleeps at night?

As long as it is not a robbery of people's daughters, it is not a nonsense with a married woman, and it is not a prostitute for fun, the saint doesn't care about it.

Even Mrs. Min understood this truth, so at first she didn't think it was important for a lady to come to the door.

But the impact of this matter is not here, but Xu Yan's reputation itself.

Since last spring, Xu Yan and the Xu family have been involved in the rumors in the capital, and this is the case today, and tomorrow is like that, until Xu Yan went to the two lakes to stop, and as a result, people came back for more than half a month, and there was a lot of uproar.

Being watched by the common people all day long, is this being an official or a monkey?

Not to mention the saints, the superiors and colleagues in the six yamen will not be willing to have an official who is riddled with rumors from time to time.

Moreover, in life, once the reputation is stained again, it is impossible to understand what will happen in the future.

Now accusing men and women, maybe in the future, he will have to wear the hat of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, once the stigma comes out, just because Xu Yan has these "criminal records", everyone will distrust him more and more.

Trust this banner, if it falls, it will fall, and it is even more difficult to put it up again than to prove it today.

Xu Yan saw Yang's face gloomy, and hurriedly said: "That's just Liu Shangshu's opinion, I have already refused, I don't want to suffer this dumb loss." ”

Hearing this, Yang's eyebrows relaxed, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

I don't want to admit defeat in order to work together.

"All doubts, at the moment, must be explained one by one, but if there is anything missing, it cannot block the words of discussion." Yang said.

Xu Yan also thought so: "The two lakes are far away, we have already sent people to Padang as soon as possible, and it will always take time to ......come and go."

Yang Shi said again: "I have pondered a few points, why don't you ask someone to ask?" ”

The things that the husband and wife came up with are actually the same as the things that the people care about.

The Xu family is here, so that Mama Chen, who is born outside, will take a trip.

As soon as Mama Chen arrived at the inn, she saw several old women and hawkers surrounding the woman and asking questions.

"How did you know about the birthmark on the squire? It's you lady who should know! The vendor asked.

"Our lady has a safe baby," the mother-in-law said with melon seeds, "It's hard not to sleep in the open anymore, and the lady wants to recuperate, but you all come around to ask, don't talk about the situation, how to win the trust?" The lady told me about the birthmark, and I will tell you. ”

The peddler asked again: "How did you lady and Xu Shilang get along with each other?" What will happen one day? ”

When the mother-in-law heard this, she spat the peddler's face with melon seed shells: "You little brother is not taboo to talk than our old ladies!"

This is not the Holy Lady, and there are people who write down the days one by one.

Xu Shilang has been in contact with our lady for several months, and I am still writing about my days on the side like a eunuch?

Do you want to write it clearly to you when he came, when he left, and what affectionate words he said between the bed?

I'm serving the lady, and I'm not writing a book, so I'm going to the bookstore with a handbook today to publish a copy of 'My lady and Xu Shilang have to say that the two lakes are time', do you pay to buy it? ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole house burst into laughter, even the vendors who asked questions, they grabbed their heads and laughed.

"Didn't I think that you would have a day to write down, and the Ministry of Industry and the Yamen would also have a day to check, and look at what Xu Shilang had done in those days, wouldn't you understand?" The peddler added.

The mother-in-law pouted: "I don't be an official, I don't understand those, dare to ask the little brother, the account in the yamen, is it written down in twelve hours?" Who cares what anyone does in the middle of the night? Just wake up in the morning and find someone. ”

The mother-in-law's call in the crowd, Mama Chen, who said it, muttered in her heart.

Xu Yan and Yang also pointed to Qu Niangzi and said that they could compare the reconstruction files of the Ministry of Industry one by one, as long as they could be busy with Xu Yan and his colleagues all night, and let them come out to say something, it would be considered a piece of evidence, but now it is ......

On the side of the crowd, a small man probed his brain, and this person was Shi Mi.

Shi Mi looked ruffian, and at first glance, he was a meat vegetarian who was not afraid to talk about bastards, and said: "You can always remember the first good day, right?" Isn't it said that girls love to remember these things the most? When was my birthday, when I recognized, when I started to look at each other, that stinky girl in my family kicked me twice just because I didn't remember the first time I kissed her. ”

Everyone laughed again and echoed it.

The mother-in-law was asked by Shi Mi like this, and saw that the crowd was led away by Shi Mi's thoughts, so she pondered for a while, and said: "It seems to be around the twenty-sixth or seventh of the first lunar month, I can't remember clearly, and I will ask our lady when the time comes." ”

This sentence has left a way out for his own family.

Mama Chen also heard it, but one day is better than nothing, she remembered it in her heart, and as she was told, she asked: "Qu Niangzi is working hard in pregnancy, this road is not easy, right?" There was no delay on the way, right? ”

"Not really!" The mother-in-law said, "I can't bear the old woman, not to mention our delicate lady, with such a big belly, walking and stopping along the way, after the coiling is exhausted, I can only stiffen and rest for a few days." ”

In this conversation, Mama Chen returned to Xu Yan in 1510, and it was also spread on the East Street.

Upstairs in Suxiang, Sun Ke had been listening to the drama for a day, and when Jiang Muyuan arrived, he turned his head and asked, "Do you think Xu Shilang is wronged?" ”

"How can you not be wronged?" Jiang Muyuan drank a cup of tea and said, "Someone suddenly appeared and buckled a hat that he couldn't understand for a while, how could he not be wronged?" ”

"For a while?" Sun Ke raised his eyebrows, "If Xu Shilang is unlucky, I'm afraid that he won't be able to tell for the rest of his life."

This is the murderous trick that Wang Fu'an and the others discussed next door that day? The one in the Jin family still can't get on the stage as always.

Xu Shilang can also be regarded as your uncle-in-law, A-Yuan, help, or not? ”

Jiang Muyuan looked at Sun Ke obliquely and said, "The one in the Jin family who can't get on the stage is still your uncle." ”

After blocking it, Sun Ke was deflated in an instant.

One is the uncle on the stepmother's side, and the other is the uncle who came out of the five suits, don't say anyone.

Further comparison, the two of them are cousins, and those two are uncles.
