The wedding was supposed to be a happy event, but he was not happy, but there was a touch of self-deprecation in his eyes.

"The Li family is a Ling'an family, so Miss Li is also a well-known talented woman, in the future, she will be able to raise eyebrows with the prince, but why is the prince worried?"

"Worried, what is this king worried about? Everything has been arranged for the king, and even the selection of concubines has been done for him, and it is too late for the king to be happy. ”

His counter-words were very explicit, Song Ran sat down beside him, and sat as far away as possible in order to prevent him from being immoral after drinking. She said lightly: "When I was young, my family also booked a family for me. ”

His robe was half-open, and his hair was torn apart at some point, and he looked a little dissolute: "Oh? ”

"When I was twelve years old, a man was a matchmaker and recommended his protégé to my grandfather. I heard that the other party is handsome and talented, and he is a rare handsome son. However, in the year I was married, he handed over a letter of divorce. At that time, I knew that the handsome and handsome son had lofty pursuits and a bright future, and there was no one like me in his pursuit and future. ”

When King Chengwu heard this, he snorted heavily: "This person has gone back on his word, don't do it!" His chest thumped, "If you have a favorite man in the future, tell this king, and this king will make the decision for you!" ”

Song Ran looked relieved: "Thank you, Lord Wang." The folk girl has a saying that is arrogant, although it is not appropriate to say it, but she does not vomit unpleasantly. If the prince doesn't like this marriage, he will fight for reason, and if he is determined to compromise, he should not regret it, otherwise, it will not be fair to Miss Li. ”

King Chengwu pursed his lips: "Fair? How can there be a fair ...... in this world?" as if he didn't want to mention it again, he asked her, "Who is the person who is betrothed to you and repents of marrying, and the other person can be in Beijing?" He raised his voice again and said, "It can't be Xu Yuan's kid, right?" ”

He thought about everything to Xu Yuan, Song Ran couldn't help but smile and gave him a reassurance: "Don't worry, the prince and I are just young, although we have childhood sweethearts, but they are not what the prince thinks." ”

King Chengwu's eyebrows really stretched a little, and he asked her again: "If it's not Xu Yuan, who else will it be?" ”

She didn't want to mention the past again, and said, "It's sad to mention it, so it's okay not to mention it." ”

Although she said this, the expression on her face was calm, and there was no sense of sadness.

King Chengwu felt that she was forcing a smile, and with the strength of the wine, he suddenly said: "This king has good news to tell you that you are happy." ”

She looked at him and wondered, "What's the good news?" ”

He said: "Today, this king got the news that the envoy of Zhejiang is about to enter Beijing, guess what he is going to do when he enters Beijing in a dignified manner?" After saying that, the corners of his lips hooked, and he said, "Tell you, it's for Shen, Han, and Xi." ”

Her eyes jumped unconsciously.

Zhejiang according to the inspector, Zhou Guangtong?

Seeing her reaction, King Chengwu was very satisfied: "Didn't you have a holiday with Shen Hanxi?" To tell you the truth, this king also looks at him a little unpleasantly. ”

As he spoke, he turned his face back, grabbed his robe upwards, and explained the ins and outs to her: "This has to start with Liu Mingxian, the detective officer of the Imperial Health Department stationed in Zhejiang, this Liu Mingxian was originally a close confidant of Shen Hanxi, and after arriving in Zhejiang, he embezzled land and property, extorted money, and could be described as doing a lot of evil. A few days ago, he fell in love with a concubine of the master book in Zhejiang, and in order to rob the woman, he beat the master book to death. It was enough to kill him, and he also set fire to his house, and none of the whole family of the chief bookkeeper was spared. ”

Although his voice was lazy, his eyes were full of cold light: "It's okay that this master book is someone else's, but it's Zhou Guangtong's nephew." This king heard that Zhou Guangtong was already on his way to Beijing with a joint letter from thousands of people. As soon as this joint letter arrives in the hands of the saint, the saint will inevitably investigate Liu Mingxian and Cha Tingwei. As long as you start checking, there are too many places that can be made in the middle. wants to lead this fire to Shen Hanxi's body, and sometimes it is a matter of one or two words from those officials. ”

He said it and came to the conclusion: "There are many people who are unhappy with Shen Hanxi in the court, and once Zhou Guangtong faces the saint, the wall will inevitably fall down and everyone will push it." It won't bring him down, but it can give him some color. ”

Song Ran digested his words for a moment and said, "However, the spies of the Imperial Guard Division are everywhere, how can they let Lord Zhou go to Beijing smoothly?" Where did the prince hear these words? ”

King Chengwu just smiled and didn't answer her question, but his tone was very confident: "You just wait and see." ”

Song Ran thought, this prince didn't keep the door on his lips, so he told himself about it, no wonder Xu Yuan told him a thousand times before leaving, let him watch him for her, although this prince is a powerful figure, he lacks a tendon in his head, and he treats people too sincerely.

The moon shadow is swaying, and the night breeze is coming. King Chengwu slept soundly on all fours, Song Ran leaned on the pillar, turned his head to look at the old man who appeared at some point, and said, "Uncle Zhong, you have heard everything that is appropriate, what do you think?" ”

He folded his hands in front of him and analyzed: "Lord Wang, he is so confident, he must have heard some rumors, but I am afraid that it is true." ”

"Who do you think will be unfavorable to Shen Hanxi?"

He shook his head and said, "The forces in Beijing are complex and intertwined, and it is still difficult to determine whether this matter is accidental or inevitable. However, the old slave remembered that Shen Hanxi and Xiao Yan were both protégés of Lord Zhou back then, and Shen Hanxi went to Dali Temple to serve as a director, and they were all recommended by Lord Zhou, but later, Shen Hanxi's official road became more and more deviated, and Lord Zhou also alienated him. Later, Gu's rebellion case broke out, and Mr. Zhou, who had an old friend with Gu Linsheng, severed the teacher-student relationship with him. When Shen Hanxi was the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Health Division, he not only went to visit Lord Zhou once, but Lord Zhou closed his doors, and it seemed that he was very disappointed in this protégé......"

Song Ran tightened his robe and said: "Zhou Shibo, he has the heart of retreat in recent years, and he has not been involved in the court battles, and even the saint has invited him to the central government as an official many times, but he refused, and he didn't even want to set foot in this place in the capital. Zhou Shibo's matter, as well as Xiao Yan's matter before, all rushed to one place, and I felt a little strange. ”

Zhong Bo also nodded in agreement, and said, "The situation is still unclear, so the young master should wait and see what happens." ”

Song Ran looked at him worriedly: "I'm just a little afraid, will there be anything about Shaohuan in the middle." ”

"Second son?" Uncle Zhong asked hesitantly, "Is the young master suspicious, Lord Xiao was robbed in the first place, and it has something to do with the second son?" ”

She was noncommittal, and paused for a long time before she said, "Help me inquire about where Zhou Shibo is staying, and find a way to meet him." ”

She had one thing, she had long wanted to ask him, and now that he was about to arrive in Ling'an, she didn't need to go to Zhejiang to find him......

In the post station of Changshou County, an old man in his fifties is sitting in front of the table, holding a pen and writing something, his hair is half white, he looks like an ordinary old master, but in fact, he is a Zhejiang envoy appointed by the saint, and he is a highly respected figure in the court. What seemed to be writing made him angry, and he stopped from time to time and cursed twice before continuing to write. A little scholar brought a hexagonal incense burner, put it in the corner of the table, and said, "Master, you better rest, your body is important." ”

He was so angry that the beards on both sides of his side were cocked: "The dog thief surnamed Liu is still on the run, if I don't sort out the case and case files as soon as possible, how can I be worthy of my poor nephew's family!" ”

Although he is more than half a hundred years old, he can still vaguely see the appearance of his youth between his eyebrows, and his eyes are full of jealousy and hatred.

"When Liu Dog Thief enters Beijing, he must defect to my rebel, and with the temperament of that rebel, maybe he will bite the old man back, and then arrange a crime of rebellion for the old man......"

When he said this, he was so angry that he put down his pen and couldn't write any more.

The little scholar hurriedly walked behind him and gently pressed his temple. As soon as he heard his master mention the rebels, he knew who he was talking about. After all, it has to be repeated several times a day. As the so-called love is deep, responsibility is keen. This Shen Hanxi used to be his most proud protégé, but he didn't expect that now, this proud protégé would become the most infamous minister. My own master loves face, where can I stand this.

"I think that Shen Hanxi still has some friendship between master and apprentice in his heart, and he sends people to send gifts every year. However, you threw it away. That's all good stuff. ”

Zhou Guangtong let him massage himself, closed his eyes, and said: "Xiao Yan doesn't read the friendship between him and his classmates, he still has me as a teacher in his heart?" It's just that he is afraid that others will poke his backbone and say that he deceived his teachers and destroyed his ancestors. ”

The little scholar stopped talking, but thought in his heart, Shen Hanxi, is he still afraid that others will poke his backbone?

"Liu Dog Thief must have defected to him at this time, the old man must not give in to this matter, he must let the Liu Dog Thief pay for his blood debts, if he Shen Hanxi dares to make a stumbling block for the old man, don't blame the old man, I will go to the Holy Lord to visit him...... Hum! ”

Although he said this, his heart was a little painful, he strongly recommended Shen Hanxi to serve in Dali Temple, Shen Hanxi was only a weak crown at that time, but he was experienced and sharp, and many difficult and miscellaneous cases came to his hands, all of which were sorted out clearly, so that his face was also extremely bright.

At that time, although he also felt that this young man's temperament was a little strange and evil, and perhaps a little difficult to control, he never expected that he would be difficult to control to this point......

He let out another long sigh, since the mistake started with him, it was up to him to correct it.

The little scholar's fingering was very comfortable, and Zhou Guangtong was old again, and he quickly fell asleep.

When he was about to sleep, an errand pushed the door in and reported: "Lord Zhou, someone asks to see you." ”

He opened his eyes suddenly, this time he entered Beijing, and the news was very sealed, just because he was afraid that the Imperial Health Division would secretly obstruct it, and now that he has arrived in Changshou County, he has ordered all the entourages and lower-level officials to strictly seal the news, who will be here at this time?

In the midst of suspicion, the officer presented a jade pendant to him and showed it to him.

Seeing the word "ink" engraved on the jade pendant, his expression moved, and he hurriedly said, "Hurry up and invite someone in." ”
