Yunshen Academy

Dong Jingshan stood next to a crape myrtle tree and casually plucked a flower from the tree.

"What are you looking for me? Is it not possible to contact us by letter? Li Xiucai stood behind him, his cold voice as always.

Dong Jingshan unhurriedly picked up the flower and brought it to the tip of his nose, he frowned and shook his head, and threw it to the ground in disgust.

"The smell of your flowers here is so boring, just like you."

Li Xiucai ignored him and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Let's both be three yuan and first, why don't you invite me to a cup of tea? If you really want to count it, I can be counted as your senior. Dong Jingshan pursed his lips and turned to lean on the tree.

"What?"

Dong Jingshan sighed helplessly and said, "Next month, I will take Ye Jingqian to the banquet on King Liang's birthday, presumably Your Majesty will come to celebrate your birthday in person, and I will arrange for him to meet Your Majesty." You teach him etiquette well, don't make mistakes. ”

"Meet under the nose of King Liang? It's good. Li Xiucai touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

"Ye Jing has been learning how to teach recently, and you have to distinguish between what should be taught and what should not be taught." Dong Jingshan admonished uneasily.

Li Xiucai rubbed the smooth trunk of crape myrtle and said, "She is very smart, and she can understand it at one point." ”

Li Xiucai's fingers suddenly stopped, and the words changed, "However, she recently inquired about Fengjia in the academy, what did you reveal to her?" ”

"Family?" Dong Jingshan got up from the trunk of the tree, "I never told him these things, could it be hearsay?" ”

"I don't know, she seems to be very concerned about it, and she doesn't want it just because of curiosity." Li Xiucai frowned.

Dong Jingshan squinted his eyes, stroked his beard, and said, "I'll ask Zhu Huo in a few days, Jing'er and him are inseparable." ”

Li Xiucai nodded, frowning and pondering.

Dong Jingshan has been walking for almost half an hour, Li Xiucai has been standing next to the crape myrtle tree, looking up at the starry sky, there is no moon today, the surroundings are pitch black, and his whole person is wrapped in the night, as if he is invisible.

They didn't want Ye Jing to get involved in King Liang's affairs, but now it backfired, and they had to think about the next things as soon as possible.

Ye Jing has now resumed his previous study arrangement, and he goes to Li Xiucai every day to open a small stove, and he has a comfortable life. It's just that since three days ago, Li Xiucai didn't know what kind of wind she was pumping, and the rules for her were extremely strict, so that she now has to go to the toilet to tidy up her appearance before going to class.

Seeing that it was almost October, Ye Jing's curiosity about King Liang became stronger and stronger, and he didn't know whether he was round or square.

"Zhu Huo, why haven't you seen Acacia these days?" Ye Jing turned his head and asked.

Zhu Huo paused, shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it either, but something happened in the family." ”

Ye Jingjing nodded and said, "On the day of the exam, Brother Shen also delayed the exam because of something at home, I think the matter has not been resolved." ”

"Ah Jing, Zhu Huo." Xie Jin and Wei Zhifei walked over together.

Ye Jing smiled at them, and suddenly said, "Acacia hasn't come to class for a long time, why don't we go and see him?" ”

"It's okay, it's true that I haven't seen lovesickness for a long time, if there is something difficult at home, we can still help." Xie Jin nodded.

Wei Zhifei hurriedly nodded and agreed unconditionally.

In the afternoon, everyone took leave from Mr., and the four of them were accompanied by Chen Changkong, who was debating with Shen Yingshou that day.

Shen Yingsian's family lives in the north of the city, and everyone inquired all the way, and finally found a small courtyard with stone walls and firewood, which has a bit of a quiet artistic conception.

But the door was locked, and there seemed to be no one at home.

It happened that a middle-aged woman carrying a basket came out of the courtyard next to her, Xie Jin hurriedly stopped him, made a gesture, and said respectfully: "This lady, dare to ask where this family has gone?" ”

The woman glanced at Ye Jing and the others and asked, "You are Ah Shou's classmates, right?" Hey~"

The woman suddenly sighed, shook her head, and continued, "You don't know, the sister-in-law of the Shen family has entered the yamen!" Hey, how could such a good person kill someone? I don't believe it. ”

Ye Jing was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What killing?" What about Acacia? ”

"The sister-in-law of the Shen family has not been in good health all these years, and last year she had a serious illness, and Ah Shou really couldn't raise money, so she borrowed a loan shark from the Yuan family in the east of the city. The children who are more honest are also forced to have no choice. The woman sighed, shook her head, and continued, "A few days ago, Yuan came to the Shen family to collect this usury, and the sister-in-law of the Shen family naturally had no money to repay her. I gave her a box of good tea cakes, and it was broken on this tea cake. ”

The woman clapped her hands and lowered her voice, "Mrs. Yuan died that night, saying that she died after drinking the tea made from the tea cakes." The yamen arrested the sister-in-law of the Shen family. ”

"But how could the sister-in-law of the Shen family poison and kill someone? What a good person? You are Ah Thin's classmates, so help Ah Thin. The woman sighed again.

Xie Jin made another gesture and said, "Thank you for telling the eldest mother, can the eldest lady know where the acacia is now?" ”

The woman frowned and thought for a while, shook her head and said, "I don't know much about this, I think it's in the yamen, you go to the yamen to have a look, maybe you can find it." ”

Then they hurried towards the yamen, and looking at their backs, the woman exclaimed, "What a good child, ......."

Before he arrived at the yamen, he saw Shen Yingshou walking towards him.

He was dressed in his usual white clothes, which were crumpled and the straps were tied crookedly. I saw that his hair was messy, his eyes were blue and black, his beard was unkempt, and his whole person was haggard and out of shape.

Ye Jing almost didn't recognize it.

I heard Wei Zhifei shouting, and ran over quickly, "Acacia!" How are you? ”

Shen Ying seemed to be stunned for a moment, and suddenly stopped, he raised his head in a daze, and looked at the five people who were walking towards him.

"Acacia, we've all heard about your family's affairs, don't worry, let's figure it out together." Ye Jing comforted.

"Yes, yes, don't worry." Wei Zhifei's head nodded quickly.

Shen Yingshou sighed, shook his head, and squatted down with his head covered.

Chen Changkong took a step forward and said in a rare warm voice: "Tell me something difficult, we are friends." ”

Shen Ying said in a sullen voice: "My mother was wronged, the dog official bit the tea cake to death and tortured my mother, I hate to be a substitute, my mother's body can't hold it!" ”

Xie Jin touched his chin and said, "Your mother's case should be tried by Jingzhao Yin and Li Kaichen, I have heard a little about Li Kaichen, and it seems that it is not easy to dismiss." ”

"Li Kaichen has a personal relationship with the chief manager of the palace, this Yuan family is just an ordinary family, because of his relationship with the queen mother's family, he came to the capital in the past two years, but he is domineering." Zhu Huo continued.

"That's right," Xie Jin frowned, "It's also a trivial matter that can't be put on the table, and it can't turn a big storm in the capital, so it passed with one eye and one eye closed, and now this kind of thing has happened." ”

Ye Jing picked up Shen Yingshou and said: "I also know that this Li Kaichen also has some skills, otherwise he wouldn't be able to be Jing Zhaoyin, but this person is very good at drilling, I'm afraid he won't easily offend the Queen Mother." ”

Shen Yingshou sighed, "In the past few days, I have made several trips to the yamen, and I have also visited a few adults, but unfortunately there is no progress, if something happens to my mother, I can only apologize with death." ”

"Lovesickness should not have the idea of suicide, things can still turn around." Xie Jin nodded his chin with one hand and said softly.

Shen Yingshou immediately raised his head and looked at him with a look of hope.

"The top priority is to press Li Kaichen first, and don't torture my aunt again." Ye Jing frowned, feeling that this matter was a little difficult to handle, "Can you mention my aunt to the Criminal Department or Dali Temple?" ”

"No," Wei Zhifei shook his head and said slowly, "The Criminal Department generally only accepts cases from Dali Temple, and Dali Temple generally accepts cases that cannot be handled by the Yamen, or cases that have a significant impact. ”

"For the time being, there shouldn't be any more interrogation of the aunt," Xie Jin said, "Changkong, you go to the yamen to keep an eye on it, if the yamen interrogates the aunt again, you hurry up and inform me." ”

"Okay, if there is any change, where can I send the little maid to find you?" Chen Changkong nodded in response.

"Why don't you go to my house, my house is close to the yamen." Wei Zhifei said.

Xie Jin nodded, and continued: "It's okay to be at Zhifei's house, then you can stay at home to facilitate contact." ”

"Now that the matter of my aunt has been arranged for the time being, I have to find out how Mrs. Yuan died." Ye Jing touched his chin thoughtfully.

Shen Yingshou suddenly said in a loud voice: "I have been inquiring about this matter for the past few days, and I heard that Mrs. Yuan and her husband are at odds because of a concubine. Mrs. Yuan died suddenly after collecting debts that day, and if my mother was not poisoned, someone else must have poisoned her. ”

"I'm afraid I'm going to go to Yuan's house to have a look." Xie Jin said leisurely.

"But we are just white, how can we get into the Yuan family." Shen Ying sighed and shook his head helplessly.

"Then those who are not in vain have to take care of this." Ye Jing said with a smile and blinked, "You say, if there is news in the capital that the Queen Mother's family is bullying people and tortured to extract a confession from the weak lady, what will that person do?" ”

Xie Jin looked at Ye Jing curiously and asked, "Oh?" This will not anger the Queen Mother? ”

"Since Dali Temple only accepts cases with significant impact, you might as well make a big deal about it, and then it won't be Li Kaichen alone." Ye Jing thought carefully.

Zhu Huo frowned and shook his head, "The risk is too great, once it is self-defeating, I am afraid it will not end well." ”

saw Shen Yingshou gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "There is no other way now, you might as well gamble." ”

Seeing that there was no other way, Gu all nodded in agreement and went to Wei Zhifei's house to further discuss the plan, while Chen Changkong went to the yamen early to keep an eye on Shen's mother's situation.

On this night, Zhu Zheng pinched the point of the fast curfew to pack up his things and was about to go home, he was telling stories in the largest restaurant in the capital all the year round - Chunfeng Proud Building, and the stories in his stomach were almost told recently, and the guests didn't listen to it these days, and he was very worried.

Suddenly, a man stopped his way, only to see a scoundrel grinning and said: "I have a good story here that is happening nowadays, if Mr. is willing to give me a few sons to eat and drink, I will tell Mr. to listen, how about it?" ”

He was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, with a thick and black eyebrow across his eyes, like a scoundrel, "Sir, if you don't listen, you will definitely regret it." ”

This person is Ye Jing.
