Chapter 44: Memories are cloudy
When I came out of Mrs. Shen's place, it was noon.
Now in September, the weather has turned cooler, but the noon sun still makes people's eyes hurt.
She asked Mrs. Tai that she wanted to go out for a walk, but Mrs. Shen agreed happily, after all, who wants to listen to the crying and mourning in the east wing at home every day.
Shen Yunwei took Sanqi to Jiuhua Street in the east of the city, and on the boundary of the Yamen of the Criminal Division, even the small stalls and vendors seemed to be much more disciplined.
The officials at the door were all in good spirits, with a sense of majesty and righteousness.
It seems that this Song Tixing is really a good official with dignity and strictness.
She watched at the door, and was thinking about whether to wait a little longer or let the official report it, when an acquaintance came in front of her.
"Hey, Miss Shen, you're here, how long have you been waiting?" The person who came was Sansi, I didn't see him in the post house last time, Xu was sent to official business, he was happy to see Shen Yunwei and Sanqi coming:
"Lord Song said, I'm afraid that it will be inconvenient for your girl's house to enter the yamen, so let me take you to Xinghelou to wait for him"
Xinghe Building is a teahouse on the corner of Jiuhua Street, where there are not many customers, and it is a quiet place.
The group went to Xinghe Building and found a corner seat to sit down. Not long after, Song Yu came.
Song Yu wore an official uniform this time, and seeing that he was in the dust, he must have rushed here before he had time to change into civilian clothes.
This is the first time Shen Yunwei has seen Song Yu since Lang Yanqing was shot again, and he saw that his face was exhausted, and his eyebrows and eyes were tired, but he still smiled and said:
"I'm sorry, Miss Shen, I've been waiting for a long time!"
"What did Lord Song say, if it weren't for Lord Song's help, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to wait if I wanted to" Shen Yun got up slightly and saluted.
"Hahaha" Song Yu smiled, called a pot of tea to Xiao Er, turned around and asked:
"I don't know what Miss Shen is looking for me?"
"Lord Song is busy with business all day, I didn't want to bother. There is just one thing, I am curious, but I want to ask clearly, I wonder if Lord Song can tell me a thing or two? Shen Yunwei didn't hesitate, after all, this person was called out, if he was still twisting and pinching, not to mention wasting the opportunity, it would seem that he was a little child, not to mention Song Yu, she was trustworthy in her heart.
"Miss Shen wants to know what she wants, just ask, and she should know everything when she makes up her mind."
"I want to ask why you want to arrest Liaoyuan?" Shen Yunwei asked directly.
"Prairie fire? What does he do, you ask? Song Yu was stunned when he heard this, he never expected that Shen Yunwei, a deep boudoir woman from Huzhou, would ask such a thing about fighting and killing, and she is also the number one criminal wanted now.
At this time, the shopkeeper served tea, and the two of them at the table stopped talking.
After Xiao Er put down the teacup and left, Shen Yun paused slightly and said, "It's just curious."
"In that case, isn't it written on my notice?" Song Yu's face was calm, he poured a cup of tea for Shen Yunwei, and then filled himself with it: "Liaoyuan is because he killed the concubine of the King of Jiuhan, and now he is colluding with the murderer of Lang Yanqing, so the Yamen of the Criminal Division must quickly arrest this person!" ”
Shen Yunwei looked at the tea in front of him to clear the heat, and didn't pick it up, so he joked:
"Lord Song's notice changes every now and then."
"Hahaha" Song Yu was happy when she heard this, Shen Yunwei would be fine if she was an ordinary woman, but at this time, in Song Yu's eyes, she seemed to have come to mock him: "Miss Shen, as far as I know, you have been growing up in Huzhou and have never left, are you also curious about the things in the capital?" ”
Shen Yunwei didn't want to go around in circles anymore, took a sip of tea, felt warm in his heart, and said:
"Of course! Although I grew up in Huzhou, I am now in the capital. There is a dark tide surging in the capital, if it is for self-preservation, I must stay away from these rights and wrongs, but I want to save someone now, if I don't figure out this matter, he may be in danger again."
Song Yu's eyebrows moved, but at this moment it was his turn to be curious:
"Who is the girl trying to save?"
"I, the person I want to save is the person Lang Yanqing wants to save" Shen Yunwei put down the teacup, don't talk about this bronze mirror for the time being, even in the face of Song Yu, Shen Yunwei doesn't know how to explain this bronze mirror, as well as this life.
In Shen Yunwei's heart, the person Lang Yanqing wanted to save was himself in the bronze mirror.
Even with the bronze mirror on your body, is it possible that you can be reborn again and again? All things are mutually reinforcing, there is always an end, if you can't find out the truth, Lang Yanqing will be in vain even if he lives again.
Along the way, Shen Yunwei has deeply felt that many things are not as simple as he thought. Even if you want to change something, the result will always come in another way.
What's more, what is more terrible than death is that you know when you will die and in what way, but you don't know how to change this ending, so you can only wait for death.
"Do you know Lang Yanqing? What is your relationship with him? Song Yu was very surprised when he heard these three words in Shen Yunwei's mouth! If he hadn't gone to Yangzhou in the first place, maybe Lang Yanqing wouldn't have died!
And on the day he came back, just in time for Lang Yanqing to be shot, he went back to the Yamen to make a business, and just came out and heard the news that Lang Yanqing was shot all over the street, until today, he always faintly felt that this matter was very unreal, as if Lang Yanqing was still alive, but he went to the suburbs to play.
"I can't say that it has anything to do with it, but I used to live in the opposite corner of the Shen family in Huzhou for a while, and the two families still have some contacts, so they can be regarded as friends. Now that his death is unknown, even if it is not for him, for the sake of the Shen family, I have to find out about this matter, so as not to have anything to do with it and make the Shen family suffer for no reason."
Shen Yunwei thought that Lang Yanqing in the mirror had gone to Huzhou, and his father had already visited him, so Shen Weiqing must have known Lang Yanqing in his memory, otherwise he would not have gone to Dingguo Mansion in the past two days.
If it weren't for Shen Yun's incident, Shen Weiqing would definitely take him to meet Dingguo Gong. And the third brother Shen Yunyi is the same age as Lang Yanqing, Shen Weiqing was afraid that Shen Yunyi would catch the eyes of the Dingguo Duke and his wife, which would make others unhappy, so he simply went alone.
Now I don't know how many things about Lang Yanqing are in Shen Weiqing's memory, and in the future, if Lang Yanqing goes in and out of the Shen Mansion more frequently for Shen Yunwei's affairs, it will be impossible to say.
"I see"
Song Yu slowly took a sip of tea, but the doubts on his face did not fade. Shen Yunwei's words did not convince him.
In his memory, it seems that Lang Yanqing did go to Huzhou when he was a child, but why did he go to Huzhou, how long did he live in Huzhou, when did he return to the capital, and how did he meet Lang Yanqing, but he couldn't remember it, as if that memory was very muddy and couldn't see it clearly.
