"Can you feed her something?"

Hearing Shen Hanxi's question, Helan Jue immediately said: "Eat it, it is worthy of the pill refined by the legendary black lotus, as soon as you swallow it, the person will wake up." ”

"It was a medicine for the Holy One, and the Holy One refused to take it...... It's cheaper for her. ”

Helan Jue looked at him and tugged at the corners of his mouth. This is the mouth of your own adult...... I don't necessarily hate myself in my heart, but I am unkind on the surface, who will I pretend to be?

Shen Hanxi stood for a moment, but finally did not enter the prison. He had to endure it again, or everything would be wasted. I thought it was just to make her suffer a little, and it wouldn't hurt her life, Helan Jue knew how to take care of it, but when it came to this time, he found out that he was ...... Overestimating yourself.

Song Ran woke up in pain. In the dark, she spoke in a hoarse voice: "Lord Xia? ”

Xia Xiaoqiu heard her voice, mumbled, and said, "It's here." ”

She said, "Let's talk for a while." ”

He knew that she was in pain, so he looked at the slender figure with his eyes and said, "What you want to hear, I'll tell you." ”

She seemed to think for a moment, and said softly: "I want to hear about Lord Shen, and I want to talk to Lord Xia." ”

After that, he only felt cold all over his body, and wanted to wrap his robe tightly, but the fingers that had his nails pulled out couldn't exert his strength. She listened to Xia Xiaoqiu in a daze, half-awake and half-dreaming, but it was difficult to tell how much she listened.

The night was long, and it was very difficult.

At this moment, Ling'an City has been swallowed up by the night. The moon was hidden under the cumulus clouds, shining in a faint light. In the silence, a figure fell silently into a house.

The man was dressed in a night robe, covering half of his face, and only his eyes were exposed, like a nocturnal beast, shining a calm and silent light in the darkness.

He gathered all his breath and walked through the mansion.

He had memorized the map of the mansion that He Lanjue had given him, and he had many years of experience in theft, so he had a rough judgment in his heart about the places where things might be hidden. He waited for the night watchman in the cloister to go away, dodged out from behind the rockery, and landed in front of a room.

A delicate silver hook slipped out of his sleeve, and he stabbed it at the keyhole, and in a matter of moments, he heard the slightest movement of the lock. He pushed the door open and entered, rummaging through the room, and when he had found the bookcases and shelves, he looked around for any secret compartments or secret passages.

Before exiting the room, he returned the things he had moved back to their place, glanced at them roughly, and gently moved the inkstone on the table to the right by half an inch.

At this time, the various items in the room were not biased from before he came in.

As the night deepened, the house slave guarding outside the door of the Yuyuan Pavilion was yawning, and suddenly a dull pain came from the back of his neck, and he rolled his eyes and fainted.

After the mute dragged the man into the room and placed him, he concentrated on finding things. This is a room dedicated to antiques, and the owner seems to be particularly fond of teapots, and when you look at it, most of them are tea utensils from all ages, and the rest are some porcelain and calligraphy and paintings. In his eyes, there were no priceless treasures here other than a few teapots worth a few dollars.

His hand fell on a purple clay pot, his brow moved slightly, the teapot was fixed on the Bogu shelf, he tried to turn it to the side, and there was a slight vibration on the ground immediately, he took a step back, looked at the secret passage that appeared in front of him, and his eyes slowly narrowed.

The secret passage leads to the ground, like a monster with a bloody mouth, entrenched in the darkness, waiting for its prey to take the bait.

He walked up the steps, step by step, with extreme caution. As we reached the sixth staircase, there was the sound of a secret door closing behind me, and the candles nailed to the wall were lit together. His eyes sank, but he didn't look back, he didn't stop, and walked step by step into the depths of the dark room......

After a stick of incense, the young man picked up the letters that had been placed on the table in a grand manner, and these letters were all secret letters between the master and others here, in the flickering and dim candlelight. His gaze swept over the names of one after another senior officials in the court, and secretly said to himself, Wang Zhuo kept these secret letters that could be used as evidence, did he want to exchange these people for his own life at a critical moment?

A wisp of unique incense suddenly broke into his nose, and his body shook slightly, and the letter that he had pinched in his hand scattered like snowflakes.

He held his breath in time, propped his hands on the table, and secretly said that it was not good.

The next day, Wang Zhuo went to the official office early. Like Shen Hanxi, he will only go back to his house when he is resting, and he will stay in the duty room behind the yamen on weekdays.

He got the day's work down and focused on the work at hand. The Imperial Guard Division was not only in charge of criminal law affairs, but also in charge of military craftsmen, and was in charge of seventeen guards, which together numbered more than 60,000 soldiers, and all affairs were naturally very complicated.

Shen Hanxi has no interest in complicated personnel at all, and on weekdays, Wang Zhuo, the deputy envoy, coordinates the affairs of the various guards and the eastern and western courts, which shows how busy he is.

Today, as usual, he carefully checked the official documents and filed them in an orderly manner. His scribes muttered in their hearts, how could the deputy envoy's orders today be all the finishing work, and some of the affairs were obviously not in a hurry for the next day or two......

Seeing that it was the time to release the government, Wang Zhuo pressed the seal on the last official document and calmly handed it to the scribe below to send it to the experience department. As soon as the scribe stepped out with the official document, he saw a man in a silver-gray brocade dress leading a person, it was Shen Hanxi. He hurriedly avoided the side, but saw Shen Hanxi not squinting and stepped into the main hall. The garment drew a sharp arc in front of his eyes.

He had a strong premonition in his heart, and today, he was only afraid that something big would happen.

In the past two days, he has been vaguely aware of the unusual atmosphere in the Imperial Health Division, but an official of his level has no access to the secrets of the upper echelons at all. Quietly glanced into the main hall, hurriedly withdrew his gaze, and hurriedly walked towards the experience division. If there is a big incident, it is better for him to avoid it as soon as possible.

When Wang Zhuo saw Shen Hanxi coming in, he calmly removed the black yarn on his head, revealing only the net towel wrapped around his head. He was dressed in a dark green silk saro robe, although his stature was not large, he was also deep and wise, exuding a graceful demeanor. His gaze fell on Shen Hanxi's battle, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

Shen Hanxi sat down directly on the Huanghuali hexagonal armchair and looked up at him: "Deputy Envoy Wang seems to know why this official came?" ”

The man called Wang Zhuo said flatly: "If you don't even have this kind of awareness, you have been with adults for so many years in vain." Then he said, "The time of patience of the adults is shorter than I expected. Let me guess, but for Miss Song? ”

Shen Hanxi looked at him coldly, and did not respond.

He said, "If you stay up for a few more days, maybe I will obediently fulfill your wish and go and hand over the last letter." Tsk, the adult is a man in the end, and he is still sad to pass this beauty after all. ”

As he spoke, he bypassed the table and walked towards Shen Hanxi, seeing that the shadow guard immediately nervously drew his knife to protect Shen Hanxi, he stroked his beard and chuckled: "I'm a scholar who has no power to tie the chicken, can I still hurt 'our adults'?" ”

Shen Hanxi said lightly: "Stand down." ”

Without the shadow guards to stop him, Wang Zhuo stopped in front of him step by step, looking at him condescendingly: "Horizontal and vertical are dead, but I want to be a ghost, I don't know when adults began to doubt me?" ”

Shen Hanxi scooped up a cup of tea and said unhurriedly: "It's a little early to suspect you." The official is sure that it is you, and it is when it is in Zhejiang. ”

"Oh?"

"After Yan Shining pleaded guilty, the official promised him to keep his family safe, and he had clearly shown wavering at that time, but, in a blink of an eye, he left an unknown hint and died of poison."

Wang Zhuo hooked his lips slightly: "Is it really that time?" ”

"The only people present at that time were the official, Miss Song, and you. On that day, Yan Shining was kneeling on the ground and was about to explain something, when you stepped forward to help him. At that time, you mentioned the name of his unborn grandson, and then he suddenly asked for tea, leaving a hint of 'Splendid Chronicles', and he swallowed poison and died. Can I remember? ”

Wang Zhuoli wore his sleeves, and there was a meaning of asking for advice in his tone: "Didn't the adults suspect Miss Song at that time?" Compared to me, she is clearly the most suspicious person. ”

"If you were Yan Shining, would you leave the most important hint to the person who threatened you?"

Wang Zhuo nodded his head and said, "So, the adults already understand the meaning of "Splendid Notes"? ”

"The person referred to in "Splendid Chronicles" is a dead man, and he is also the object of your allegiance."

Wang Zhuo's eyes flickered slightly, and then he smiled approvingly: "Your Excellency is really wise." As he spoke, he confessed to himself, "I gave him the poison pill while I was helping him." He didn't know who I was until that day, but at the slightest hint I scared him out. ”

Shen Hanxi remembered what he said at that time-

"I heard that Lord Yan gave his unborn grandson a name called Zhaohua, the sun and the moon are Zhaozhao, rich and glorious, but it is really a good name. He will have many blessings to enjoy in the future. ”

Shen Hanxi narrowed his eyes and said, "That day, this official went to see Yan Shining's only son alone, his unborn child, who had not yet been named at that time. The word Zhaohua is the name of the son who was killed by Yan Shining and Zhou Zicheng was not yet born, and this name was indeed chosen by him for Zhou Zicheng. "You suggest to him that if he tells the truth, his unborn grandson will also end up like this child—he won't say it anymore." ”

Wang Zhuo sighed: "I really didn't expect that adults would be so careful, I thought it was smooth and foolish." ”

"Wang Zhuo, this official has never underestimated you, but you often underestimate this official."

"I've never expected to hide from adults, and since that day, I've been ready for today." He said, and said lightly, "The secret stake of the Mo family is really useless, I just joined the Imperial Health Division, and I have already discovered his identity, and he didn't take action at that time, so I turned a blind eye and let him go, maybe it will be useful in the future." Unexpectedly, he really came in handy. After knowing that he also had dealings with the Relief Pavilion, I deliberately picked up the news he wanted and revealed it, and by the way, I also took advantage of the Relief Pavilion. It's a pity that the Relief Pavilion is really useless, and they can't take advantage of such a good opportunity for adults to go to Zhejiang. ”

"And in the bombing case nine years ago, I saw that the gunpowder craftsman who was used as a scapegoat was really pitiful, so I found another death row prisoner who looked similar to him and replaced him. At that time, I didn't expect such a small role to come in handy, who would have thought that this person's hatred for adults would not be erased for nine years, which is really admirable. ”

The craftsman escaped death from the explosion, but was used as a scapegoat by Shen Hanxi and put on death row, although he survived by luck, he could not recognize his relatives and friends. In the past nine years, he watched his wife remarry, his mother fell ill and died, and his loved ones left one after another, and this world became a living hell for him.

In order to survive in this hell, he can only vent his hatred on a specific person. This person is Shen Hanxi. The hatred for Shen Hanxi supported him through nine years of being neither a ghost nor a ghost, and it was not until he saw the explosion of the building ship with his own eyes that he finally closed his eyes.

"Over the past nine years, this man has come to me many times to create opportunities for him, and I showed him the way, but he almost did it. It's a pity. Wang Zhuo shook his head, "He left too early, he knew that he didn't kill the adults, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to live in hell." ”

Shen Hanxi's hand holding the tea cup tightened, but his tone was calm: "Wang Zhuo, this official treats you well. ”

"Yes, adults treat me well. Over the years I have been with adults, I have great admiration for them. Let's talk to adults, these things I did were not out of personal grudge against adults, but in this officialdom, with different positions, I am destined to fight to the death. I, Wang Zhuo, have a clear conscience. ”
