Shun Yu knew what he was thinking at this time, so he pulled his lips one by one, and smiled softly: "Uncle Qin, don't worry, I will only do this once, and in the future, I will only study and enter the office, and I will not be reckless." ”

Qin Zhong asked her to get up and pointed to the corner of the wall: "There is a charcoal brazier over there, you take off the name on the box and burn it together with the flowers and grasses, this thing must not be left, if Yan Zhao asks, I will go and explain." ”

Shun Yu didn't ask any more, and only obediently went to get it. Half squatting to pour the flowers and grass into the pot, the powder is like vulgar dust, floating into the bottom lightly, as soon as you listen to the sound of "bang", quite a heavy sound, followed by a wisp of fire, twisting the white smoke up, and then throw the name of Jin Si Nan into it, instantly there is a good smell of strange fragrance scattered around, is the smell of pine oil mixed with nectar.

The flames were burning vigorously, and Shun Yu watched silently, gradually deriving some kind of thought, far and near, coming and going.

At this moment, the spirit suddenly became confused, as if she saw the back of the fifth sister, looked back at her through the fireworks, and smiled with joy: Take care, Xiao Jiu'er, goodbye in the next life.

As soon as he turned around, he was really gone, and disappeared in an instant.

........

After breakfast, Juanhe replied, and the Criminal Department sent two errand officers to invite Shun Yu to the old house to interrogate Zhou Hai, and the two doors had prepared carriages and horses.

Shun Yu had to respond, let him wait outside, and called Mama Xiao to bring a cloak, she wore it and said with a red face and a low voice: "The Kwai Shui that came in the middle of the night last night was stained with some on the mattress, and there was ....... on the clothes." ”

"Don't be afraid, I'll clean it up." Mama Xiao tied the cloak brocade in a knot, seeing that her face was not good, and wanted to bring a bowl of red date tea.

Shun Yudao came back to eat, turned around and walked out, out of the courtyard gate, only to go up to the Yanshui Bridge, and saw a flowery apricot tree in the distance, standing under the eldest lady Sun, the third lady Liu and seven or eight maids, who were watching the garden people planting trees on the slope.

Shun Yu paused, trying to choose another way to avoid but it was too late, a maid looked in her direction, and even the Sun family also turned her face, so she had to come forward to salute.

Sun first praised the elegant clothes on his body, and asked if he was ready for the Hanlin Academy exam, and then asked with a smile where he was going in a hurry.

Knowing that she was pretending to be confused, Shun Yu didn't break it, but only understated her intentions.

Sun smiled and said, "You are really a good person!" This is not yet the official robe, but the people in the yamen have come to greet you first. ”

The maids pursed their lips and smiled, and she said again: "I mentioned you earlier, Brother Hong'er's gang of merry children, they are playing without heaven and earth, what are you doing with him, now that something has happened, no one cares if you live or die." ”

These words are hanging on the branches, Rao is not the slightest affection, Liu is Yanhong's mother, can't help clenching the veil, blushing for a while, smacking the corners of his mouth, not daring to squeak.

"I really don't do my cousin's business, and it has nothing to do with me." Shun Yu said lightly: "Mr. Yishu has asked, not to mention those of us who study in it, it's just a routine." ”

Sun's eyebrows furrowed, pursed his lips, and snorted, Liu's breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly heard a crisp voice: "What are you doing here?" ”

With the prestige, there came a girl dressed in goose yellow and willow green, the fifth girl born and raised by the Sun family, Wanqing, followed by a few panting girls, she was not much better, her face was flushed, her temples were sweaty, and she was holding a few newly sprouted young willow branches in her hands, waving wildly.

Seeing that the Liu family was also there, he handed the things in his hand to the girl, and clapped his hands with a smile: "The third aunt came to look for my mother, but my cousin caused trouble again?" ”

"Your cousin has been very honest lately, and he hasn't caused trouble." Liu was busy arguing, and his expression became more and more uncomfortable.

Shun Yudao couldn't let the servants wait for a long time, so he said two simple sentences, and retreated with the little servant.

Sun took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat for Wanqing, frowned and counted: "Look at this sweaty man, he doesn't do needlework in the house, where is this crazy?" ”

He admonished the girl who came with him: "The tender wicker has just grown up, and it will be such a scourge, don't you know how to persuade each of you?" You'll have to let Mama punish you to find out what's interesting. ”

The girl was so frightened that she knelt down and begged for mercy.

Wanqing didn't care, only looked at Shunyu's back and blurred, then grabbed Sun's arm, and said mysteriously: "Is that Sister Yun'er's cousin?" My mother knew that Sister Yun had lovesickness for him. ”

"What nonsense? This kind of remark is unsubstantiated, and it cannot be said nonsense. The Sun family was disgusted, glanced at the Liu family, and gave Wanqing a look.

Wanqing obediently smiled, closed her mouth and only smiled, and a few people chatted for a while, and when the sun was bigger, they dispersed without mentioning it.

.........

When I arrived at the mouth of the alley of Dengcao Wang's house, I saw the old house of the Qin family, the black main gate was wide open, and a group of officials were guarding with knives, and Rao was heavily guarded.

Shun Yu got down from the carriage and took a few steps forward, and suddenly saw an official who took the lead in the door, angry, about forty or fifty years old, wearing a second-grade official hat, wearing an embroidered crane crimson robe, a square face, forehead to the nose, and a slender scar, highlighting a little fierce and domineering.

The official ordered Shun Yu to stop, and hurriedly stepped forward to report, but the official looked sideways and looked unkind.

The official hurriedly turned back and asked him to see Lord Zhou Chen, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

Shun Yu's heart jumped suddenly, and he suddenly felt ominous. Such a violent and unbridled Zhou Chen far exceeded her feelings for him in her previous life.

If you come, you will be safe.

She exhaled to calm herself, and then walked in front of Zhou Chen, wanting to bow down.

Suddenly, a pair of thick hands reached out, pounded her chest, and tightened her placket, lifting it hard.

Shun Yu tried to make her toes touch the ground, the pain did not dissipate, and a feeling of suffocation made it difficult for her to breathe.

raised his head angrily, Zhou Chen also bowed his head, his eyes were facing each other, and he gritted his teeth, hating the appearance of not being able to kill the other party.

Pale and weak!

Zhou Chen approached Shun Yu's face, looked at it with disdain and fierceness, and said for a while: "Zhou Hai is here to see you?" How did you harm him, and didn't you get the truth? ”

Quite angry. If you are a bystander, you will be intimidated by his appearance.

Shun Yu began to struggle, and he clenched tighter and tighter, so he simply didn't move, only swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and his voice was half hoarse: "According to the laws of our dynasty, if you want to be convicted of a crime, you need to be promoted to the hall and shocked by the wood, and the officials can kill the power, before you can submit a confession, five hearings, or even torture, how can Lord Zhou directly convict Xiaosheng?" ”

Like hearing a joke, Zhou Chen's face was hideous, and he suddenly let go of his hand, Shun Yu touched the ground on tiptoe, but he stumbled, fell to the ground unsteadily, and the fresh air poured into his chest cavity, inhaled it in a big gulp, and suddenly coughed and wheezing.

"A person whose life is as cheap as an ant, if something happens to Zhou Hai...... How can you live alone? The words of compassion reached her ears, Shun Yu raised her head, her heart sank, this old man really wanted to kill her.

Don't wait to say more, suddenly heard a sonorous sound, in the distance, a big sedan chair gong and umbrella came over, to the front of the sedan chair, wearing the uniform of the god machine camp of the soldiers holding weapons, surrounded in front of the house.
