In the room, someone had already prepared a bathtub and clean clothes, Shen Hanxi held Song Ran's hand and walked to the screen. Song Ran's body was a little disobedient, and her concentration seemed to be polished to a thin layer after drinking the glass of wine, and she could only let him pull it.

She took advantage of the last clarity and said, "My lord, rest early, I'll retire first." ”

He let go of her hand and turned behind the screen, looking casual: "Retire? Where to retreat? Yang Chengwan acquiesced to her being a maid who was waiting, and didn't prepare a room for her at all, "It's easy for the official to block a tea and tea out of the door, if you leave today, maybe he will send other Yingying Yanyan tomorrow to annoy the official." ”

As he spoke, he took off his clothes as if no one was around. It was a pine-framed suro screen, which could not be completely obscured. Song Ran looked at him and untied the jade belt around his waist, put his robe on the screen, blushed slightly, and discussed with him: "Then I will go out secretly, find a place at random and stay overnight, and come back secretly tomorrow morning?" ”

Shen Hanxi took off half of her clothes, and when she heard the words, she walked out from behind the screen, and looked at her playfully with her arms folded, as if she wanted to know what else she could say.

"Lord Shen......" she tried not to look at him, "I, I am still ......" for some reason, and the words were a little unreasonable.

He suddenly squinted his eyes, walked up to her, lowered his head and asked her, "Miss Song, are you really stupid, or are you pretending to be stupid, do you really not know what this official means by letting you stay today?" ”

Her eyelashes fluttered slightly.

Knowing what he meant, he couldn't help but have a bang in his head, and after that sound, there was only a white blank and nothing. At this time, he was close, and finally he was no longer the one who was high in the clouds, and she could even feel his breath, entangled with her own breath, inseparable from each other.

Her whole body was wooden, as if she had lost her soul.

He was slightly displeased by her reaction, and before he could say anything more, her body shook suddenly. Seeing this, he grabbed her arm and made her fall on his chest.

He was stripped of only a layer of white silk clothes, and there was a blazing temperature from under the clothes, Song Ran leaned on his chest, breathing rapidly, and his voice lost his calmness: "My lord...... I was dizzy and uncomfortable. ”

Her body was hot, and she was afraid that she was drinking. He finally couldn't bear it anymore, picked her up, bypassed the screen, and strode towards the light gauze soft tent.

When he put himself down on the bed, she suddenly grabbed his arm and said, "The meaning of the adult is suitable, and the people understand it." She looked at him with a pale face, but the meaning was clear, "If the adults only seek temporary pleasure, they can do whatever they want, and the women will never resist." But the folk girl ...... The folk girl was unwilling. ”

Her words were very bold and very ignorant of current affairs. After hearing this, his voice was cold: "If you don't want to, you don't want to, will this official still take advantage of your danger?" As he spoke, he clicked two acupoints on her, scooped up the quilt under her stunnedness, and pressed it on her, "Did the official force you to submit with a knife on your neck, or did he tie up your family and threaten you, is there such a person as you should respond?" ”

She drank the glass of wine that should have been drunk by him, and he couldn't just let her go back, and he could guarantee that nothing would happen to her, and let her go, and the matter would be out of her hands.

If he had the slightest coveting of her tonight, he would have it, but he would not have done anything to her in this situation. Shicai's sentence is at most a temptation, but I didn't expect to test such a reaction.

He took a step back from the bedside, turned his head slightly, and didn't see Shicai's casual appearance, and returned to his usual cold demeanor: "Miss Song, you have a lot of dealings with this official, is this still so scared and jealous of you?" ”

In Shicai's slightly warm eyes, there is no warmth left at this moment, only ridicule and coldness: "In front of this official, you can't wait to hide all your edges, if so, then hide it better." Why can't this official let you be a commoner in peace? But you also need to be honest. Privately hid the fugitives of the Imperial Guard, befriended King Chengwu, and secretly met with Zhejiang according to the envoy. Tell me, what is the one thing that ordinary people would do? ”

As he spoke, he pulled the bed tent off with a casual pull.

His strength was so great that he almost ripped off the silver hook, as if he was so angry with her.

After he left, although the string in her heart was loose, there was no sense of ease.

He sealed her acupoint at the right time, not letting the wine go up further, she only felt that the heat itself faded, and her emotions calmed down, but when she thought of the back of his departure, she felt some inexplicable heartburn......

Shen Hanxi walked to the table and drank two cups of herbal tea in a row to suppress Shicai's emotions.

In the dead of night, he suddenly spoke: "Someone." ”

When the wind blew in through the window, he turned his head and saw a man in brocade falling into the room, half-kneeling in front of him.

On top of the brocade robe, there is a unicorn embroidered, and the scimitar on the waist has a dark gold dragon pattern.

As soon as he arrived at Hangzhou Mansion, there were shadow guards who caught up with him, and the secret whistle of the Tingwei Division, which belonged to him, was still a little useful, not like those detective yamen, including Linqing Mansion, as soon as he was not under his nose, he forgot that he was the commander-in-chief, and he was doing mischief, fish and flesh were adjacent, and the dirty water that should be poured on them was finally splashed on his boss.

"The case of the Hangzhou Mansion destroying the door, who investigated the case, transferred the case file, and the key personnel related to this case were all transferred to the Yamen of the Imperial Health Division, and the matter will be done before tomorrow."

The other party raised his eyes and looked sharp: "Yes!" ”

In the middle of the night, Li Mansion. There lived a man named Li Mi, a minister of the Hangzhou government, who was in charge of the documents and case files of the government. He was asleep when he was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, lifted the quilt and got up, only to see the fire outside, and the atmosphere was unusual. He intuitively sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly put on his clothes and pushed the door open, and led a few servants into the courtyard.

I saw three people standing there, he approached with a lamp, and said coldly: "This is the mansion of the imperial court officials, who broke in late at night!" ”

"Lord Li, you need to transfer some case files from above, and it is convenient for Master Lao."

He frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Which yamen are you from?" ”

The light of the lantern shone through their clothes, black brocade robes, and black gauze hats, and he had just woken up from his sleep, and for a moment he couldn't remember which official of the yamen was. But no matter which yamen it is, there is no reason to find him to adjust the case file at this time, and he said angrily: "The transfer of the case file needs to be ordered by the top, and the yamen is also working normally, how can you be so ignorant of the rules." ”

The leader looked cold, showed him a waist card, and said majestically: "The Imperial Health Division Yamen is handling the case, the matter is urgent, and there is no time to delay, Lord Li, come with us." ”

Li Mi's legs immediately weakened, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the next official will go and change his clothes, and he will be there immediately!" ”

Li Mi carried the lantern, trembled and took the key, and opened the warehouse where the case files were stored.

"I don't know how many masters, which day's case file will be transferred?"

"On March 15, the Zhou family exterminated the case."

Li Mi's heart trembled, but he didn't dare to slack off, the case files of the yamen were stored according to the date, and he soon came to the shelf where the case files of March 15 were stored.

He looked back and forth a few times, suddenly knocked on his head, and said, "Look at my memory...... Several adults, the case of destroying the door was only transferred away by the boss yesterday. ”

"Who transferred you?"

"Didn't the saint want to check and check Liu Mingxian...... My lord, yesterday Dali Temple issued an order to transfer all the files related to this case. ”

The leader of the Jin Yilang said coldly: "All the case files of the government should be recorded. Master Li, won't this copy be transferred away as well? ”

Li Mi took his attitude cautiously, for fear that one would accidentally offend these evil gods and get into trouble for himself: "My lord doesn't know, a few days ago, the water ran out of the warehouse and burned several shelves, and the lower official remembered that all the copies of the case files since last year were burned to the core, but fortunately, the original files and copies of these case files were stored separately, otherwise, I am afraid that the original files will not be left." ”

"Oh? That's a coincidence. ”

Hearing what the other party said, Li Mi couldn't help but soften his legs.

The other party asked: "Is there a list of all the officials who have handled this matter?" ”

He immediately said, "Yes, yes." It's all in the mind of the lower official. ”

After a while, he silently made a list and presented it to the other party: "My lord, this is the person sent by the Yamen to investigate the case that day. ”

That brocade lang looked at it, from the county magistrate who decided the case, to the head arrester and the arrest fast, but it was very detailed.

Seeing that his expression was relaxed, Li Mi secretly thanked himself in his heart for his good memory, and in order to show his sincerity, he added: "On the day of the incident, it was this catcher named Chen Cripple who was the first to rush to the scene of the crime, and he also identified Lord Liu. If you have anything to ask, you can send this person over. ”

"Oh? Where does this family live? ”

When Li Mi heard his question, he knew that his affairs were over, and hurriedly went to find the list of officials of the various prefectures and offices, and informed him of the addresses registered on it.

He was relieved to see them disappear into the night.

Chen Cripple lives in a dilapidated alley in a county under the jurisdiction of Hangzhou Prefecture, although his name is Cripple, in fact he is only slightly lame on his right foot, and the people around him are used to joking and calling, so they forget his real name.

Catching Kuai belongs to the lower ninth rate, and he is a pariah whose descendants cannot even participate in the imperial examination, and a pariah like this, naturally no one pays attention to what his name is.

A few brocade clothes kicked open his door in the middle of the night, took torches and shone into the room, only to see that there was a mess inside, and there was no figure of Chen Cripple on the bed made of several boards. One of them stepped forward and touched the mattress, which was still a little warm.

He turned back and reported to the leader: "My lord, the man must not have gone far. Then he took a torch and shone it into the room, and said, "There are traces of a fight in the room, and I am afraid that someone is one step ahead of us." ”

The man's eyes roamed the room, this cripple was a single person, as if he had no savings, and there were no superfluous items in the room except for the necessary daily necessities. The people who came to find Chen Cripple would never do it to rob money. Before leading people out of the room, they felt a slight strange feeling under their feet, and when they looked down, it was a sachet.
