Chapter 41: Drumming and Grievances

"In order to protect the teacher, the students also lost nine shadow guards."

A cold question appeared on the emperor's pale face: "Shen Qing, it's good that your manpower has been damaged, but what Lord Zhou said is also reasonable." ”

The corners of Shen Hanxi's lips kept hooking a smile that seemed to be nothing: "Since the teacher doesn't trust me, what do I have to justify?" Liu Mingxian's immediate boss is me, and when he comes to the capital, there is a chance that he intends to defect to me, and if the teacher thinks that I am selfish, Shen has nothing to say. When the original court guard division was established, the teacher was very opposed, Shen took over this position, and the teacher was even more alienated because of this, and now my court guard department has a villain like Liu Mingxian who deceived and concealed it, and it is human nature that the teacher will be angry. ”

Zhou Guangtong listened to his tongue and words, his steps were slightly unsteady, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has no prejudice against the Imperial Guard!" He added, "As soon as Liu Mingxian entered Beijing, he sent his housekeeper Liu Tong to meet Lord Shen, and many people can testify to this matter, what they said secretly, who can know now!" ”

Chen Shicai has already said that after Liu Tong came to see the minister, the minister immediately sent a team of flag schools to escort him to the teacher. Shen's heart of fist and fist did not want to become the reason for his teacher's suspicion. ”

Seeing that they were each insisting on their own words, the emperor interrupted impatiently: "Enough! The body was not very good, and he couldn't stop coughing when he was angry, and the waiter hurriedly stepped forward to pat him on the back, but he raised his hand and waved back: "Zhou Aiqing, you continue." ”

Zhou Guangtong straightened his colors and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Mingxian's housekeeper Liu Tong has now been sent to the prison of the Criminal Department, although Liu Mingxian is dead without proof, this Liu Tong is an important person, Your Majesty will know it in the first instance of Dali Temple." ”

The emperor calmed down and said to the chief internal supervisor who stood aside: "Spread my order, send Liu Tong to Dali Temple, and the three divisions will be tried, and the court and health divisions shall not participate." ”

Zhou Guangtong said loudly: "Your Majesty Shengming." It's just that since this case involves Lord Shen, there must be many situations that Lord Shen needs to confront in court, but Wei Chen is afraid that the face of the three divisions is not enough to invite Lord Shen ......"

When the emperor heard this, his expression gradually became unpredictable: "The Three Law Divisions are the highest judicial bodies in Dajing, and the Tingwei Division is the investigation agency set up by me personally. ”

Zhou Guangtong immediately said in panic: "The old minister doesn't dare." ”

The emperor looked at him for a moment and said, "Okay, Zhou Aiqing is tired all the way, let's go back and rest first, I will send a forbidden army to protect Zhou Aiqing's safety, and before this case is over, Zhou Aiqing will stay in Beijing first." When his gaze turned to Shen Hanxi, he was a little colder than Shicai, "Shen Qing has a lot of opportunities and has shared a lot of burdens for me, so it is inevitable that he will be negligent in his rule, so before Dali Temple straightens out this case, he will temporarily rest at home." ”

Shen Hanxi said: "Your Majesty, the minister ......"

The emperor said indifferently: "I'm tired, what words come to me." ”

Shen Hanxi didn't dwell on it, he frowned and sent the emperor away, and when he raised his head, he heard Zhou Guangtong say coldly: "Lord Shen, please." ”

Shen Hanxi's gaze stopped a few times on his face, and the corners of his lips curved into an arc: "Teacher, I haven't seen you for many years, Huiniang should be a big girl." ”

Hearing him mention his daughter's name, Zhou Guangtong finally stopped calming: "Shen Hanxi, if you dare to touch Huiniang, the old man can't spare you!" He was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and secretly lamented to Sage Kong in his heart, how could he teach such a student......

Shen Hanxi smiled: "What is the teacher so excited about, the student is just a little concerned. Hui Niang is the teacher's beloved daughter, and the students naturally won't touch her, and besides, she is not the type that the students like. However, it was the niece of the teacher who met at the post station that day, which made the students remember it until now. ”

Zhou Guangtong frowned: "You know who she is, if you move her...... Ahem......"

He was so angry that he couldn't stand steadily, Shen Hanxi stretched out his hand to help him, still with a smiling face: "Who is she, who makes the teacher more excited than when he heard Huiniang?" ”

Zhou Guangtong tried to break away from him: "She's just an ordinary girl, Shen Hanxi, you can't calculate her head!" He was glared at by his angry blowing beard, "Your dirty hands still don't let go of the old man!" ”

Shen Hanxi didn't let him go, and he didn't loosen the strength in his hand, so he "helped" him out like that: "You are someone Shen's mentor, what's wrong with someone Shen helping you out?" The teacher must not refuse, Shen is in a bad mood, and he may want to find trouble with someone. ”

Zhou Guang was so angry that he trembled, but he stopped struggling, and let him "pull" himself into the carriage.

As soon as he returned to the post house, he called his subordinates in a panic and said: "Express the letter back to the house, send twenty more people, guard the young lady, don't let the young lady go out alone, even if it is in the house, you must follow inch by inch." He wanted to deliver a letter to Shaowei, but in a hurry that day, he forgot to ask her where she lived. If Shen Hanxi really wanted to do something to her, he would be the culprit who pushed her into the fire pit......

In the flower hall of the Song Mansion, an old servant who is over half a hundred years old is playing with the guests. Recently, the guest regarded this place as his own home, returning early to late, and eating here for lunch. However, this guest is noble, and the host can only greet him with a smile.

However, Xia Xiaoqiu, who had been running here diligently a few days ago, has been missing for the past few days.

Song Ran stood in front of the small red clay furnace and waited for the water to boil, and his mind gradually lost here. Where had she left her handkerchief, it wasn't anything of value, but her name was embroidered on it......

"Haha, this king is finally going to win once!"

The man's smug voice came from the flower hall, pulling her thoughts back. The teapot in front of her was already chirping, and she hurriedly reached out to carry it, and her hand burned again. The dumb man quickly took the kettle and said, "I'll come." ”

Over there, I heard King Chengwu's voice again: "Wait a minute, this king will regret chess!" ”

Song Ran walked over, stood beside Uncle Zhong, and looked at him: "Lord Wang, it's okay for you to regret chess, but you can't regret chess every game." ”

This chess product is really bad.

The other party raised his eyebrows: "Mr. Zhong's chess skills are superb, this king is a rotten chess basket, if he doesn't regret his chess, what else will he do?" ”

His self-awareness is very clear. As he spoke, he calmly repented of his move, and glanced at Uncle Zhong defiantly.

"Mr. Zhong, this trick depends on how you go."

Song Ran bent down and dropped a piece for Zhong Bo, and the long hair fell down with her movements, and swept lightly on the chess pieces. A sly smile flashed in her eyes: "Lord Wang, if you don't want to be hungry, it's time to let Uncle Zhong cook." ”

King Chengwu looked at the chess game that collapsed in an instant, dumbfounded.

In the past two days, she also proposed to play two games with him on behalf of Uncle Zhong, but he felt that what fun was there in playing against the same woman? What's more, she looks soft and weak, and when she wins, she seems to bully her. Now it seems that he is the one who is being bullied.

The dumb man came up and handed him tea, and said lightly: "Lord Wang, Miss Song's chess skills are far above Uncle Zhong." ”

Zhong Bo also nodded happily: "The old slave can't play this chess game, and he hasn't won the young master once so far." ”

The corner of King Chengwu's eyes twitched.

Song Ran sat down on the seat given by Uncle Zhong with a calm expression, and asked him with a smile: "Does the prince want to come to a game?" ”

King Chengwu ignited his fighting spirit and handed the teacup back to the mute: "Come!" ”

After a few rounds, he was convinced. This little girl's chess move seems to be tepid, but in fact it is a boiled frog in warm water, and the clouds are light and the wind is light, so she kills him without leaving a piece of armor. He had no other thoughts than admiration.

When she was cleaning up the chessboard, she glanced at the gloomy sky outside the door, and suddenly said, "Lord Wang, is it going to change the sky?" ”

He also looked over with her eyes, and said quietly: "The wind has been blowing in one place for a long time, and the direction will always change. ”

Early the next morning.

The tranquility in front of the Dali Temple was suddenly broken by a majestic drumbeat. Soon, Xu Bingquan, the secretary of Dali Temple, came looking for the voice, and saw a young man in a green shirt standing in front of the drum of grievances. The drum of grievances in front of the government was struck by him.

"Who's drumming? You know what kind of place this is! ”

The young man turned around, and the wind filled his wide robe:

"In Xia Xiao Yan, there are grievances to sue, and there are cases to vote, but I don't know if you, Dali Temple, dare to take this case."

I saw that his back was straight, his hair was half tied by a jade belt, even if he was dressed in a green shirt, he was still sprinkled with wind and spirit, and Tsinghua was unparalleled.

Xu Bingquan saw the man's appearance clearly, and was pleasantly surprised, but he didn't dare to show his joy, and said solemnly: "Sinner Xiao Yan, you are so bold, you dare to take the initiative to send it to the door!" Come, bring him to the court, but the ruler will hear whomever you want to accuse. What kind of case is there that I dare not accept in Dali Temple! ”

Soon, there was a complaint submitted to the Holy Lord through Dali Temple.

Xiao Yan, who had been on the run for many days, suddenly appeared in Dali Temple, which immediately touched the string in the hearts of many people. Previously, the Ting Wei Si arrested him and sent him to the Imperial Guard Prison on the grounds that he had hidden the relics of the Gu Mansion and had a rebellious heart, and he escaped from the prison before he could be tried and convicted. Now, he suddenly appeared in front of Dali Temple to shout grievances, which is really confusing.

However, some people feel that Xiao Yan's play belongs to the sword going sideways, singing well and singing well.

If he doesn't show up, he will be convicted of his great rebellion, and he will have to spend the rest of his life in the pursuit of the imperial court, not to mention that it will bring shame on his family, and the important thing is that he will never have a chance to return to Lang Lang Qiankun. However, now that he is appearing in front of the door of Dali Temple in a bright light, and Shen Hanxi is constrained by Liu Mingxian's case, this is to create an opportunity for him to overturn the case.

Sure enough, Xiao Yan sued Shen Hanxi to Dali Temple with a complaint, and in the complaint, he insisted that Shen Hanxi tortured him to extract a confession, intending to make him admit the crime of rebellion.

At the same time, Liu Tong confessed in court that torture to extract confessions was commonplace in the court health department, and also confessed in detail how Shen Hanxi assigned him to frame court officials, coerce and lure, and fabricate charges when Liu Mingxian served by Shen Hanxi's side. The confession alone recorded a thick stack, and the details were detailed and could withstand scrutiny from many parties.

The encounter between these two cases intensified the Saint's anger against Shen Hanxi......
