Chapter Eighty-One: A Late Night Visit
Shen Lingjun gave the reins to his subordinates and asked, "Are you sure you went here?" ”
Yacha nodded: "Yes, but we don't dare to trespass, so we will go to find your lord." ”
As he was talking, Mao Li and a group of officials caught up from behind, panting and said, "My lord, how is it, do you knock on the door directly or continue to guard." ”
Su Musha patted the falling snow, asked it to stay next to it with Hui Feng, walked to Shen Lingjun's side, and looked at the locked vermilion lacquer gate in front of him.
Shen Lingjun raised his head, the sparks flickered, and his smart black eyes seemed to have a bright light, and the three big characters of 'Taifu Mansion' were reflected in them.
The two turned their heads at the same time and glanced at each other, and then, Su Musha nodded slightly.
Shen Lingjun raised his hand, waved it forward, and said, "Knock on the door." ”
In the middle of the night, the candles in Taifu's mansion were blown out one by one, and the entire backyard was silent except for the sound of the wind whirling in the air.
Tonight it is Lao Wang's turn to guard the door, for him, doing errands in Taifu's Mansion is a very pleasant thing to say and save face.
Tonight is no exception, Lao Wang is in a very good mood and lights a brazier in the gatehouse, puts a small pot on it, boils two pots of rice wine in the boiling water, and adds a stack of peanuts, so leisurely while drinking and keeping vigil.
After the two pots of rice wine were in their stomachs and the peanuts were almost knocked, I heard the sound of beating outside. Lao Wang yawned, and as he usually did for countless nights guarding the door, he put a torn cotton jacket on his body that had been placed in the gatehouse, and leaned on the small wooden bed that had been built improvise, ready to deal with it all night.
Before going to bed, Lao Wang calculated that he would go to Qingchun Lou early tomorrow morning to get a pot of bamboo leaves and then go home, by the way, by the way, he would bring two baskets of steamed buns to his mother-in-law, so as to save her from being crooked.
Older people, as soon as their eyes are closed, they snort and fight first.
"Bang bang bang~" The sound of knocking on the door suddenly sounded, especially in the quiet moment, which was very obvious.
Lao Wang trembled and opened his eyes instantly, but his face was still a little more confused.
At this time, the knocking sound outside became more and more intensive, and Lao Wang was not awake yet, but he had habitually put on his shoes on the ground, and because he was suddenly woken up, he looked a little unhappy.
In the end, he has been on an errand in Taifu's Mansion for a long time, and his temper has also risen, and when he opened the door, Lao Wang was angry in his heart, ready to send out at people who didn't know each other outside.
However, when the door was halfway open, Lao Wang held the doorknob and froze instantly...... What's the situation?
Several rows of people outside the door stretched out, and the torches in their hands illuminated the area in front of the Taifu Mansion.
Lao Wang swallowed his saliva, and suddenly the whole person was sober, looking at the first two people in front of him, he recognized that the petite woman in red was Lord Shen of Dali Temple.
After all, Lao Wang is also a person who has seen some of the world, and after calming down, his anger turned into a sneer, and said, "I don't know what happened to Lord Siqing's late-night visit?" ”
Shen Lingjun knocked his forehead with his fingers, and said with a smile: "That's the case, our Dali Temple is investigating a case, but the two important suspects who are not long-sighted are hiding in the Taifu Mansion......"
Shen Lingjun spread his hands and shrugged: "Is the duty right, why do you have to search it to explain, not to mention, those two suspects are extraordinary, they are vicious people who kill people without blinking." ”
Lao Wang's mouth was still smiling and didn't close, this time it turned directly into fright, and subconsciously looked back, it was dark in the night, and he couldn't see anything clearly, and the horizontal flesh on Lao Wang's face shook: "This, this...... Lord Shen didn't like to joke, and the villain didn't hear any movement. ”
Shen Lingjun's face turned serious, his eyes were slanted from top to bottom, and he said in an official tone: "What? The official is making this joke with you at night? ”
Lao Wang hurriedly bent down and saluted: "The villain doesn't dare, it's just ......"
Shen Lingjun said impatiently: "Dali Temple office, still not let go?" ”
Lao Wang has the heart to cry now, how can it be his turn to die or not, if he puts it in like this, not to mention whether the job can be saved, it is to turn around and disturb the Taifu, blame it, and he can't explain it.
"Lord Shen......" Lao Wang Heng was in front of the door, and said with a bitter smile: "The villain really can't be the master, it's better like this, Lord Shen wait a while, I'll ask the housekeeper to come out......"
Shen Lingjun glanced at him and nodded: "Hurry up, otherwise the suspect will run away, and I will count it in your account." ”
Lao Wang tugged at the corners of his mouth: "This, the villain can't afford it." After saying that, he quickly closed the door, ran in with a smoke, and threw the matter on the butler's head anyway, and it was none of his business!
Su Musha was standing next to him, Shen Lingjun's words and deeds fell in his eyes, and he smiled slightly at this time: "You are now an official, and you are becoming more and more decent." ”
Shen Lingjun held the knife behind his back with both hands, and looked back at him with a smile: "Sometimes you are polite to people, but people may not appreciate it, but you pretend to be more efficient and more efficient." ”
Su Mu's dark eyes were like water, and there was a smile in his eyes: "Talk about experience." ”
Shen Lingjun raised his head: "That's it." ”
When he first joined Dali Siqing, Shen Lingjun had no tone towards anyone, he was originally an informal person, thinking about hello, I am good, everyone is good, just get by.
However, after a long time, she found that some people see that you have a good temper, so they secretly come to a yang and yin to disobey, listen to the dispatch on the surface, and hide in a place to play cards or something, and when they come back, they say that it was not done.
Later, one day, Shen Lingjun gathered all these people in the school field outside the city, and told them that Dali Temple was doing a desperate job, maybe he met a vicious person, and if he didn't get home, wouldn't he die in vain?
Therefore, Shen Lingjun set a rule, and at the end of each month, there will be a martial arts competition internally, and the level of the martial arts competition will not be discussed. In the end, the two at the bottom of the ranking left Dali Temple directly, and the top one served as the chief catcher, and then pushed down according to the ranking.
After that, everyone found out that Shen Lingjun was smiling all day long, not because she had no temper, but she was too lazy to compare with you, but in fact, her belly was black.
The sound of kicking and stomping footsteps came from inside, and then the door was opened again, revealing the face of Steward Liu of Taifu Mansion.
The housekeeper is the housekeeper in the end, after coming out, his eyes swept around without a trace, and he recognized that the person standing in front of him was Dali Siqing, who had come to Taifu's mansion before, and the man in white next to him with an extraordinary temperament heard that it was her subordinate, but with Steward Liu's many years of experience in reading people, this man must not be simple.
Steward Liu first saluted Shen Lingjun, and then said without humility or arrogance: "Lord Shen and you are visiting late at night, I don't know what is important?" ”
Shen Lingjun smiled at him: "I'm really sorry to disturb so late, but the official received the news that someone found that two important suspects who we were tracking in Dali Temple ran into the Taifu Mansion and disappeared, the official thought, just for the safety of the Taifu, we also have to search, right, Steward Liu?" ”
"This ......" Steward Liu thought for a moment and said, "Lord Shen, I'm afraid that your subordinates made a mistake, the guards in the mansion were not alarmed, so it can be seen that there are no suspects coming in, did they pass by before hitting the door and run away again?" ”
Mao Li came over with an arrow, waved his big hand, and said angrily: "Impossible!" I saw two dark shadows scurrying in. ”
Shen Lingjun looked at Steward Liu with a smile, which means - my subordinates can see it clearly.
How dare Steward Liu let people in, he had to hug his fists again, and discussed: "Lord Shen, there is indeed no suspect, you see, Taifu has just rested, I'm afraid the search is not very convenient, it's better to do this, I'll let the guards in the house patrol around, what do you think?" ”
Shen Lingjun tapped the handle of the knife with his fingertips, and said with a smile: "Steward Liu, is this a condition to negotiate with me?" ”
Steward Liu lowered his head and clenched his fists: "The villain doesn't dare." ”
Mao Lihu chirped, and said in a rough voice: "Don't talk nonsense with him, adults, rush in quickly, otherwise people will run away!" ”
Steward Liu frowned, stepped in front of the door with one foot, stretched out his hand to stop him, and said quite toughly: "Who dares to break in, this is Taifu's mansion." ”
Shen Lingjun waved his hand to let Mao Li step back, and said with a smile: "We are literati, how can we be hard." ”
Steward Liu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and he said, "That villain will go down now, and let the guards patrol everywhere to take a look......"
"Wait." Shen Lingjun didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and stopped.
"Lord Shen......" Steward Liu looked puzzled, didn't he agree to what he said just now?
Shen Lingjun's moist black eyes showed an interesting smile, and said, "The Taifu Mansion at night should have a different style, and Steward Liu will accompany me for a casual stroll?" ”
Steward Liu opened his mouth and said stunned: "This ......"
Shen Lingjun squinted at him: "Inconvenient? ”
Steward Liu still said the same sentence: "It's late at night, and the Taifu has already rested......"
Shen Lingjun sighed: "That is, there is nothing to talk about." Turning around, he glanced at Su Musha, who nodded.
"Taifu understands the righteousness, knows that Dali Temple is working, or for his safety, it will definitely not be disturbed, but everyone should be careful not to make too much noise, it will not be good to alarm his old man." After saying that, Shen Lingjun raised a finger and pressed it forward: "Take the lead, take someone in to search!" ”
Mao Li twitched the corners of his mouth secretly, didn't he say that literati, don't you break through?
But thinking about it, Mao Li shouted, and the yacha behind him responded in unison, and the well-trained ones quickly integrated into two columns, ready to rush in.
Steward Liu grabbed the door and tried his best to stop it: "No, the dignified Taifu Mansion, how can you be allowed to break in, do you know what kind of crime this is?" ”
After grinding and chirping for a long time, the tendon-based pretension had long been impatient, and at this time, anger rose from his heart, and he directly grabbed Steward Liu and took him aside.
"You, you, you, presumptuous!" Steward Liu was panicked, but he did not forget the majesty of being the chief butler.
And at this moment, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps inside, and as the footsteps got closer, a deep voice said: "It's noisy in the middle of the night, what are you doing?" ”
