Xu Jing continued: "I still remember that at the white banquet that day, Xu Ge Lao mentioned the matter of the second master marrying his wife, and talked about Xia Wanchun's daughter. Li Shangshu pointed out that the second master was in love with Xia Yan, the rumors must have been deliberately spread, even the officials in the DPRK and China knew about it, not to mention the people, the so-called public mouth gold, accumulation and destruction, the second master did not do this, but was forced to bear this name, how can the prince take the love of the ministers, for the country and the society will have to endure the painful cession, the hatred in his heart leads to the cracks, but one day he succeeds to the throne, the second master is only afraid that the future will be very worried. ”

"At this time, Xu Ge Lao Song asked the second master to be appointed as the secretary of the ministry, which is the heart of Sima. In addition to revealing his authority, he also reminded the second master that if he did not have the favor of the Son of Heaven, he could only rely on him to snort, listen to his dispatch, and use him. Otherwise, it will be like a baby in the palm of his hand, and he will not be breastfeeding, and he will starve to death. ”

Xu Jing looked at Shen Zetang: "This is a dilemma of playing with power, and the second master has fallen into it." ”

After finishing speaking, everyone's faces gradually turned gloomy, and their hearts were heavy, and they all looked at Shen Zetang.

The tea bowl is empty.

Shen Zetang poured tea for himself and ate tea again.

It was close to the sting, the spring thunder began to roar, the rumbling sound outside the window was from far and near, the wind and rain were coming, and the hall was quiet.

After a while, Shen Zetang took out a sealed note from the secret drawer of the table, and ordered Shen Heng to come over and confess: "It must be collected by King Hao, and it must not change hands. ”

Although Shen Heng listened ignorantly, he knew that the matter was important, took the secret note into his arms, and hurriedly retreated.

looked at Li Bingcheng again, and said in a deep voice: "You go to find Zhang Xuan, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, he is my student and has always been reliable, you let him do his duties, and thoroughly investigate who released the rumors that I was in love with Xia Yan, if you are arrested and told to you, I will personally interrogate you." ”

After a pause, he said: "This case is not big, so he doesn't need to inform Zhou Chen, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and he can handle it himself." Li Bingcheng took the order.

Xu Jing stepped forward to stop talking, and Shen Zetang smiled: "I know what you're worried about, it seems that there are still flaws, and I have to do it myself." ”

Xu Jing's jaw was much more relaxed, and he asked after a while: "Li Shangshu said that Chen Xiuxin's face was so sick that his face was green, but it was interesting." ”

People are dying, their faces are gray, pale or even black, and they turn green as never before.

After being silent, Shen Zetang said lightly: "You can let Shen Heng go to the secret investigation, but when you smell a hint of wind and grass, stop immediately." ”

Xu Jing wanted to say something, but the guards returned, and Wu Pu, the secretary of the Guozijian Office, came to see him, so he stopped talking and went to lead him to Shen Zetang.

Wu Pu handed over the collection of books, and said with some hesitation: "There was a Xuezheng brawl case the day before yesterday, and the detailed records are all in the booklet. Secretly glanced at Shen Zetang's face, but he couldn't see why.

Xu Jing was interested when he heard this, and asked with a smile: "I know a few of the Guozi Supervisors, all of them are profound Confucians, and I can't guess who is in trouble." ”

"It's Liu Haiqiao and Tang Guanfu, who teach at the Hall of Justice." Wu Pu said hurriedly.

Liu ...... Sea... Bridge, is he? Xu Jing's eyes widened, and he stammered when he was shocked!

Shen Zetang was quite calm, he took the album without changing his face, and turned directly to the last page, remembering that it was dense and detailed, he saw ten lines at a glance, and he had read all the kung fu.

Fu handed the booklet back to Wu Pu, and only said with his jaw: "Your punishment is quite reasonable." It's just that Liu Xuezheng has a lot of relatives in his family, and he pays forty taels a month, and if he is fined thirty taels, I am afraid that he will have no rice to cook. In the end, Tang Xuezheng provoked first, so he fined Liu Xuezheng and deducted 20 taels, and then canceled the public subsidy. ”

Wu Pu hurriedly agreed, and Shen Zetang inquired about Guozijian's daily teaching and some trivial matters, before he smiled and said: "After the fifteenth day of suspension, I will go to Guozijian to teach the students of the Frank Hall to solve their doubts, I hope you know." ”

Wu Pu has been doing his best to promote this matter, but Shen Zetang always has no time, but now he takes the initiative to mention it, and he is overjoyed, and he talks for an hour before leaving.

Xu Jing looked at Shen Zetang a little strangely, he couldn't hold it back after a while, and when he borrowed a pot to pour him tea, he asked, "What does the second master think?" There are many big and small affairs these days, and you need to go to the curtain, how can you have that spare time, what karma to teach the prisoners of the country to solve the confusion? ”

Shen Zetang was carefully reading the letter of advice presented by Huang Rong in the examination of the meritorious service, and strongly recommended the right hand of the Inspectorate to Yu Shi Huo Feng, listing several of his meritorious deeds in river management, and asking him to be promoted and rewarded.

couldn't help frowning slightly, just listening to Xu Jing's question, and only after a while did he reply casually: "It's just a whim." ”

Xu Jing tugged at the corners of his mouth, who to lie!

Second Master Shen has never been on a whim for several years.

..............

Fifteen is coming, there is no class on this day, and all the prisoners are off.

Rainy and sunny morning, out of the "Chongjiao Fang", the street is wet, and a pale red and white locust flower falls.

Mason carried the cage on his back, followed Shun Yu and Fu Heng, and saw Qin Xing standing by the carriage from afar, stretching his neck and looking around, and when he saw them, he excitedly came forward.

"I've lost some weight!" Qin Xing looked like he was concerned: "There is no small one waiting for ...... in front of him." ”

"Come less!" Shun Yu grabbed his arm and pushed him to the horse's head, stared at him and asked in a low voice: "The business is important, can you do it?" ”

"Don't worry." Qin Xing patted his chest and smiled: "When I return to the mansion, I will take Young Master Fu to Xuanji Courtyard, and I will pass through the Yanshui Bridge, and Qiaoxing will accompany the six girls to feed the koi there." You can take a look at it from afar. ”

Shun Yu was a little uncertain, thought about it and asked him: "Is Jian Yun willing?" ”

Qin Xing was stunned, and quickly thought about it, before scratching his head and saying, "She didn't say no, she must be willing." ”

I didn't dare to say that the sixth girl was very sick and weak, but after listening to his words, I knew that it was the arrangement of the young master, and I just didn't say anything with tears in my eyes.

Shun Yu calmed down, beckoned Fu Heng and a few others to get into the carriage together, everyone sat properly, the coachman whipped off, and ran away with the dust.

.........

The carriage swayed, and it set off at the hour, but it was already noon when I returned to the Qin Mansion.

Fu Heng saw the big plaque of "Qin Mansion" hanging on the main gate, Qin Xing jumped off the edge of the car, knocked on the cymbals of the ancient green beast door a few times, and the little guy inside opened the door wide.

The carriage went straight to the second gate, Mason waited for them to come down, led the way around the shadow wall, was a hall, walked a hundred steps along, passed a simple door, and suddenly opened up in front of them.

The shallow powder wall of one color, there are rockery pavilions in the distance, the white bridge of the blue pond, in which the grass grows and the warbler flies, the flowers and trees are shaded, and the eyes are full of spring green.

Fu Heng looked around and asked Shun Yu with a smile, why did Qin Xing's clever little guy disappear.

Shun Yu smiled but didn't say a word, only took him to walk slowly, and walked towards the direction of Yanshui Bridge.

Suddenly, two girls came in front of her, one master and one servant, talking something as they walked, looking happy and slightly shy.

Shun Yu looked at it intently, and then his heart sank, and the smile instantly faded from his eyes, and it was not Jian Yun and Jiao Xing.
