Shun Yu went to Liu's room but pounced on it, and Xian Yue led her towards Hanmo Courtyard, only to say that Old Lady Qin ordered everyone to discuss matters elsewhere.

It was the height of summer, the cicadas in the garden were noisy and withering, and there was no one around, and occasionally there were one or two girls in the shade in front of the porch, shaking their fans and napping freely.

After a red rose stand, Shun Yu finally couldn't hold it back, and asked Xianyue, what happened to Qin Yanhong?

Xian Yue looked at no one around, and then whispered: "Did you hear the fourth master mention that he was happy with the girl in the pharmacy, named Lianzi?" ”

"But what happened to her?" Shun Yu's heart sank, and he felt very strange earlier, and this day was coming.

Xian Yue said "um": "That girl died, the fourth master was right in front of her at the time, and she was arrested by the Yamen government officials, and now she is being detained and interrogated in prison, and she has not been seen for several days, and Liu Mei in his room is crying day and night, and her eyes are swollen like peaches." ”

He continued: "I heard that anyone who was arrested and taken to the yamen, regardless of whether they were guilty or not, first scolded the skin and flesh to open the flesh, and then said that the prison was dark and foul-smelling, mosquitoes and flies breed, and the fourth master was afraid that he would not be able to endure the ......... with fine skin and tender meat!" "I muttered and muttered.

Shun Yu was upset when she heard this, but she didn't know that this girl's broken mouth was going to kill people, but she didn't stop her, let her talk about hearsay, and she was afraid that she would miss the clues.

The two of them passed the moon cave door one after the other, entered the Hanmo Courtyard, a few girls stood in front of the corridor, saw Shun Yu coming, the girl Xiuqin hurriedly greeted and said hello, and the other curtains were beaten, and the reports were reported.

Shun Yu entered the room, and after giving everyone a salute, he sat next to Liu's side, except for the big room, the rest of the rooms arrived.

The old lady Qin frowned and lost her temper, the third lady Liu was crying, and the third old man Qin Lin was silent.

Old lady Qin looked at Shun Yu, and said softly: "Shun Yu, you are good friends with Yan Hong, and he is also the most convinced of you, I don't know what to say to my parents, but I am willing to give you the truth, I heard that you have also written a letterhead, asking the third master to prevent Yan Hong from befriending that girl, can you tell me the detailed reasons, and then tell me about it?" ”

"It's nature." Shun Yu hurriedly stood up, and told Yan Hong how to meet and know the Lian Zi girl who came to the pharmacy on Baoqing Street, how to dissuade him from listening, and then went to the pharmacy with Yan Hong, how to try out that the Lian Zi girl did not know the nature of medicine, how the shopkeeper and the behavior of running the hall were treacherous, because I was afraid that it would be 'fire hoarding', and I was afraid that Yan Hong would be killed for money.

The third old man looked remorseful, and said: "Now it seems that it is not as simple as 'piercing the fire', but to frame Yanhong for murder and death." ”

"You still have the face to argue." Old lady Qin shouted: "If the son doesn't teach, the father is wrong." You only know how to indulge Yan Hong, and let him collude with the evil young people in the capital, and do all the bad things. Shun Yu kindly reminded you but turned a deaf ear, and now Yanhong has fallen to this point, it is really your hard work. If I let him go as I please, it will be retribution. ”

No one dared to say anything, Qin Zhong came out and said: "Although Yan Hong's behavior on weekdays is a little presumptuous, he doesn't dare to do anything about killing people, this matter is more like seeking revenge, third brother, you think carefully, who has offended anyone between the merchants?" ”

Qin Lin was unhappy, and it was not easy to show it, so he only hummed in a low voice: "How can there be so many curves and curves among our businessmen, if you look at anyone who is not pleasing to the eye, at most there will be some war of words, or manipulate prices, occupy the market, and at most cut off their financial routes, etc., who has the leisure time to set up any puzzles!" This insidious method is often used in officialdom, and you, with your eldest brother and Yan Zhao, should reflect on yourself. ”

Shun Yu's heart suddenly felt like being twisted by a big hand, and she was a little out of breath, like that afternoon a few months ago, Zhou Chen, the secretary of the Criminal Department, grabbed her shirt hard, and the gloomy words echoed in her ears: "A person whose life is as cheap as an ant, if something happens to Zhou Hai......... How can you live alone? “

She escaped because of Shen Zetang's help, but she didn't allow Zhou Chen to move her anger to the ......... others.

At this time, it was rumored outside that Shen Huan, the guard in front of Lord Shen, came to ask for a meeting.

Qin Zhong was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly asked the female dependents to avoid it, and said with a stretched face: "Last night, he cheekily went to Lord Shen to deliver the letterhead, and he sent someone so quickly. ”

Everyone was in good spirits, but when they saw that the curtain was closed quickly, Shen Huan walked in wearing an official uniform and a solemn expression.

He bowed his hand to Old Lady Qin and Qin Zhong, and gestured to the others, in fact, he could not be rude, and no one dared to accuse him of being disrespectful.

Shun Yu made eye contact with him, and quickly dodged away, he knew in his previous life that this Shen Huan and Shen Second Master were very close, and they were inseparable, and he also did many unsightly things for Shen Second Master.

He refused to sit or eat tea, but only stood and said without hurrying: "Lord Qin asked me yesterday, Lord Shen already knows, and I have greeted Zhang Jun, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, you can go to the Yamen of the Criminal Department to visit the prison at three o'clock today." He took out a post from his sleeve and handed it over, and continued: "Then you can give this to the official to look at." ”

Qin Zhong hurriedly stepped forward to take it, his mouth was full of gratitude, and Shen Huan smiled lightly: "There is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." ”

He paused, didn't wait for Qin Zhong to speak, and said bluntly: "Lord Shen and Lord Qin's friendship has always been as light as water, even if you have treated my old lady, the favor you owe has already been paid off, I don't know why your lord still bothers him again and again?" Help each other with this matter, and next time I will ask the adults to please be smart! ”

His tone was calm and casual, but it was embarrassing and unbelievable.

Old Qin Zhong's face turned red and white, he was very ashamed, and he wanted to explain, but Shen Huan had already said goodbye to Old Lady Qin, and was led by the servants and left without looking back.

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

In the carriage that went to visit Qin Yanhong, in addition to Qin Lin, there were also Qin Zhong and Shun Yu.

Shun Yu held a brocade bag in his arms, which was the clothes, food and soft things placed by the Liu family, and the soft was used to take care of the officials in the prison.

No one was angry, and their hearts were heavy, and this unwarranted disaster came so quickly that everyone was caught off guard.

After a while, Shun Yu couldn't help but ask Qin Zhong in a low voice: "The third old man just said that this is a game, why is this?" ”

Qin Zhong sighed and said: "That Yanlai Pharmacy has many strange things, when Yan Hong was arrested, the shopkeeper and the running hall were lost, you said that Lian Zi girl is the daughter of the shopkeeper, but you heard from the insiders of the neighborhood shops, this Lian Zi was originally a prostitute in Wanhualou, and was ransomed by the shopkeeper to be his concubine, this girl was sexually debauched, and somehow hooked up with Yan Hong. The shopkeeper often complained to others, and he came from a wealthy family with Yanhong, and he dared not speak out in anger, so he had to be wronged and begged to live his life. ”

"Panic!" Shun Yu's face turned white with anger, gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Obviously, they are commensurate with father and daughter, but at this time, they have turned around and become husband and wife!" It's ridiculous! ”
