Not long after Shui Yan entered, he lifted the curtain with a bad face, Nanning followed closely behind, took two steps to the side, gently pulled Shui Yan's sleeve, and glanced at the East Chamber, Shui Yan followed Nanning's gaze and looked at the half-hidden door of the outermost room in the East Chamber, he knew that it was the room that Su Zicheng arranged for the girl's fifth master, what did Nanning mean by making eyes at that room? Nanning squeezed his eyes hard at Dongxiang again, took half a step back, bowed slightly, looked at Shui Yan took two steps back, saw that Shui Yan was still looking at him inexplicably, and then nodded at Dongxiang again, before turning around and waiting for the main house.

Shui Yan gently tapped his forehead with a folding fan, seeing what Nanning meant, was to let him go to the house, could it be that he did this, what could that girl do with the fifth master? Well, it must be the case, but it doesn't seem appropriate to find an outsider in this matter, the prince is very law-oriented, and the royal majesty is extremely strict•••••• the royal majesty is extremely strict! A glimmer of light flashed in Shui Yan's eyes, when did the little guy next to the prince dare to make his own decisions? Shui Yan turned around and looked at the quiet and hanging indigo brocade curtain in the main room, his eyebrows flew up and down, turned around a few steps and walked to the outermost door of the east wing, coughed heavily, and asked with a smile: "Can the fifth master be in the house?" ”

Li Xiaoqi was listening intently to the movement outside, and when he heard Shui Yan's greeting, he hurriedly jumped out of the house, went over and opened the door in person, and arched his hand with a smile: "It turned out to be Second Master Shui, please come in." Shui Yan entered the house, turned his head to look around, and praised with a smile: "The fifth master is refreshing and pleasant in this house, and these chrysanthemums are in good shape, which is really rare." ”

"This is all put by Nanning, it's okay for me to look at it, Master Shui, please take a seat." Li Xiaoqi politely let Shui Yan sit down, and the girl standing in the corner of the house came up with tea, and lightly retreated to the back pantry to wait for the summons.

Li Xiaoqi let Shui Yan drink two sips of tea, and couldn't guess his intention for a while, Shui Yan took a sip of tea, put the cup down, hesitated for a moment, sighed as if he had made up his mind, and said embarrassedly: "If there is nothing to do, I don't dare to come over to disturb the fifth master, I want to ask the fifth master to help solve a troubled matter." Li Xiaoqi looked at Shui Yan in surprise, he asked her to solve his troubles?!

"Shui Ye is polite, I can't afford to say this, if Shui Ye has any orders, just say it." Li Xiaoqi smiled and said politely, Shui Yan sighed heavily: "Then I'll say it directly, this matter is really caused by my Shui family's poor family education, I have a cousin who has not come out of five suits, called Shui Tong, since he was a child, he followed his father to the post, and he never entered the clan school, until he was sixteen or seventeen years old, he returned to Kaiping Mansion with his father, and married Chen Zhongliang, the new science and technology scholar of that year, the next year he married Chen Zhongliang, who just got married for half a year, the two husbands and wives also got along, and at the end of the year Chen Zhongliang elected the official of the Dezhou Mansion. It is not easy for the new science and technology jinshi to be elected to the Dezhou Mansion, Li Xiaoqi smiled and glanced at Shui Yan, Shui Yan looked at Li Xiaoqi sensitively, and explained with a hint of embarrassment: "It is stained with the light of the thin noodles of the Shui family, at that time, Cousin Shui Tong was already pregnant for two or three months, and it was inconvenient to accompany him, Chen Zhongliang arrived in office for two or three months, and accepted a woman surnamed Shen and sent a letter backAfter Chen Zhongliang's three-year term expired, his uncle begged his father to leave Chen Zhongliang in the six ministries, and became a famous official in the Ministry of Rites, in fact, the Shen family already had a concubine, one year younger than the son-in-law, the uncle originally wanted to wait for Chen Zhongliang to return to Kaiping Mansion, and persuaded both sides to persuade that there was no overnight feud between this husband and wife, and it would be good to meet naturally, who knew that Shen did not want to get started at all, so he instigated Chen Zhongliang to set up a house at the east gate, and Chen Zhongliang was transferred back to Kaiping Mansion for more than a year, Didn't even enter the house half a step, half a month ago, Cousin Shui Tong met Shen in the Splendid Clothing Workshop, but asked a few words, Chen Zhongliang actually scolded Cousin Shui Tong in public, Cousin Shui Tong was furious, touched a vase and smashed it on Chen Zhongliang's head, but unfortunately the vase was filled with water, and Chen Zhongliang was killed on the spot, then Shen took the child to the Kaiping Mansion to report, and now Cousin Shui Tong is detained in prison, alas! ”

Li Xiaoqi was like listening to a legend, Shui Yan sighed heavily: "This is caused by my Shui family's lax family education, if Cousin Shui Tong wasn't so jealous, it wouldn't be like this, but pity that child, who is only five or six years old, has no father or mother, and his mother is a jealous murderer." Li Xiaoqi was so breathless that he couldn't breathe when he heard this, looked at Shui Yan, wanted to speak but bit his lip, and only exhaled after a while, looked at Shui Yan and asked, "You want me to solve this?" This •••••• has come to this, what else can be explained? ”

Shui Yan explained with a wry smile: "I also know that this matter has become a dead end, but •••••• I am pitiful to the child, who was born prematurely and frail, crying for his mother every day these days, not eating and sleeping well, extremely sick and weak, if there is no biological mother to take care of him, I really don't know if I can become an adult, no matter what, the Chen family is just this one sister-in-law, Shui Tong is an unforgivable sin, but ••••••"

"You want to exonerate Shui Tong?" Li Xiaoqi understood what Shui Yan meant, spat out, feeling a little better, Shui Yan hung his head: "I begged the uncle, the uncle said that the second master of the criminal department was the agent, so I came to find the second master." ”

"Murder is a heinous crime, and if you don't forgive, you won't redeem it, and the prince didn't promise you?"

"Alas!" Shui Yan sighed heavily: "I also know that this evil crime is unforgivable, but I hope that in case, I will pity that child!" ”

Li Xiaoqi looked at Shui Yan thoughtfully, was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "With the hope of the Shui family, I want to cover up this matter, but with a little effort, what happened in the middle?" Shui Yan's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, no wonder the second master looked at her differently, it was really transparent!

"At the time of the incident, Xiao Sui, the second grandmother of Ningyi Houfu, was also present." Li Xiaoqi took a breath, Ningyi Hou Guo Minda is the brother of the current queen Guo's family, no wonder the Shui family can't cover up this matter, this Shen family dares to drum to open the Ping Mansion, and there may be someone's shadow behind him, Shui Yan sighed again, and said with a wry smile: "That Chen Zhongliang's hometown Qingzhou, born in a poor scholar, the first two days Cousin Shuitong was not imprisoned, Taixue and Qingzhou students wrote a book saying that my Shui family bullied the poor family with power, and indulged in jealousy and murder and so on. ”

Li Xiaoqi exhaled slowly, this matter is not simple, Shui Yan looked at Li Xiaoqi who was frowning expectantly, Li Xiaoqi rubbed his eyebrows like a headache: "Just thinking about it, I can't think of anything, can you bring me the file of Shui Tong's case?" ”

Shui Yan hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Yes, ready-made, I have already asked people to copy a few copies, so I will send them over." ”

"Look at the file first, you can always come up with a way, no matter what, you can't let Shui Tong give his life for such a •••••• thing, I took this knot, but I don't have manpower." Li Xiaoqi simply agreed, Chen Zhongliang's filthy thing is innocent, as soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiaoyi's heart flashed slightly, and he didn't wait for Shui Yan to speak, and then said: "I want to meet Shui Tong, and that Shen family." "This is just the word of the family, and she wants to see someone before judging it, and she trusts her eyes.

"I still have some manpower, you just have to tell me anything, it's easy to see Cousin Shuitong, it's the Shen family," Shui Yan frowned, and Li Xiaoqi hurriedly followed: "Then the Shen family can just look at it from a distance, and there are two children, that concubine, just look at it from a distance." Shui Yan nodded and agreed: "I'll arrange it." After a pause, he said in a low voice: "The prefect of Kaiping Mansion was originally a Qingke of Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion. Li Xiaoqi lowered his eyes and replied lightly: "I know this." ”

Shui Yan's eyebrows moved, looking at Li Xiaoyi, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, maybe she really had a way. Li Xiaoqi lowered his head, thought about it carefully, looked up at Shui Yan and said in a low voice: "Shui Tong This is a great crime of rebellion, look at it at this time, it is already a dead end, that you have to step on it, you have to exert force, seeing that this matter has become a dead end, you will not think more about it, but wait to see the excitement of the final beheading, which is beneficial to us, but everything must be silent in the action, and you can't reveal half a trace of waves in the open and secret, and you must complete the work with one blow when you do it, otherwise, this dead end will be dead." ”

"You're right! Extremely! Shui Yan stroked his palm in agreement, Li Xiaoqi thought for a while and said: "Let people send the file over first, don't leave a piece of paper behind, Shui Tong is now in prison, and there are eyeliners up and down the Kaiping Mansion, I don't know where to connect." ”

"Uncle often sends people to visit Cousin Shuitong, so I wronged you to pretend to be a girl and follow along, don't worry." Shui Yan said simply and clearly, Li Xiaoqi thought about it carefully, nodded, first read the file, met with people and then said the next step, Shui Yan saw that Li Xiaoqi had nothing to do, and did not delay, got up and said goodbye: "I'll go back and let someone send the file over, if I can save Cousin Shuitong's life, Shui Yan will be grateful in the future!" ”

"Master Shui is polite." Li Xiaoqi sent Shui Yan to the door, watched him stride out of the weeping flower door, turned back, leaned on the couch and thought out of his mind sullenly, if this is the case, this Shui Tong is also unladylike, and he has to bear the infamy of jealousy, the little girl lightly packed up the cups and saucers, and replaced the cup of hot tea again.

In the afternoon, Su Zicheng took people to the Huwei Army camp, and Li Xiaoqi quietly entrusted Nanning and asked him to help him pay attention to see how the eldest brother was doing, and Nanning agreed.

Li Xiaoqi finished sorting out those various excerpts, returned to Willow Hutong early, and not long after entering the door, Wisteria came in and reported: "Fifth Master, Second Master Shui just sent someone to hand over a message, saying that he got some good tea, and I want to invite Fifth Master to taste it tomorrow afternoon." "Li Xiaoqi said 'oh' and said that he knew, it seems that he has already arranged it, and he can go over to see Shui Tong tomorrow afternoon.
