After Lan Jing left these words, she ignored the imperial court official and went back with her disciples.

A military attache who looked like a general walked up to this person, and immediately asked, "My lord, how should we deal with this matter now, do you want my subordinates to break into the door and arrest all the disciples under the Candle Shadow Shaking Red Sect." ”

When the official of the imperial court heard this, he stared at him and said: "What to catch, if the official has no orders, do not act rashly." ”

When the military attache heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned and said: "The humble position is also for the consideration of the adult, the situation is like this, if you can't catch some disciples who are red with candle shadows and go back, I'm afraid that the adult will not be able to deal with Lord Shi." ”

Hearing this, the official of the imperial court sighed dejectedly: "That's it, let's collect the team and go back to the yamen first, and then the official on Lord Shi's side will explain." ”

"My lord, why is that? Isn't the candle shadow shaking red because the eldest princess is supporting her behind her back, and now that she has Lord Shi's secret order, she doesn't have to be afraid of her. The military attache's wife asked in surprise.

"It would be nice if things were so simple, the official is not afraid of offending the eldest princess, but I didn't expect that there is a saint behind the candle shadow shaking red, what does the saint mean now, you and I are at a loss at the moment, if we tear our faces, wouldn't it be extremely embarrassing, and it will also hinder the official's career in the future." The court official spoke.

"Since the lord has this concern, then the humble duty is a gaffe, it seems that at the moment, it is indeed as the lord said, it is better to stand still." The military attache also gave up his opinion.

The court official rolled up the hem of his shirt, and then spoke: "Tell me to go down and pass the sedan chair back to the house." ”

When the military attache heard this remark, he commanded to the left and right: "Your Excellency has an order, go home immediately." ”

After saying this, the military attache approached the court official behind him, sent him to the side of the palanquin, and personally set the curtain for him.

"My lord, please get on the sedan chair." The military attache was waiting from the side.

The court officials were full of worries, and they were thinking about how to explain to Shi Heng.

There was something in his heart, and he almost tripped over the sedan chair, and the military attache next to him hurriedly reached out to support the court official.

"My lord, watch out for the car door." The military attache earnestly reminded.

"Oh, oh, there's something on my mind." The court official said a rather embarrassed word, and then stepped onto the sedan chair.

"Tell me to get up the sedan chair." The court official casually threw out a sentence in the sedan chair.

The military attache waited for the court officials to sit down, so he agreed: "Okay, my lord, please sit down and get up." ”

After the group returned to the yamen, the official sat down for a while, thought carefully about how he should speak after meeting Shi Heng, and after thinking about the matter, he just changed his clothes, brought his name and notebook, and passed the sedan chair to Shi Heng's mansion to ask for a meeting.

When he arrived at Shi Heng's mansion, he handed over the name post, and soon Shi Heng ordered someone to take him in.

As soon as they met, after making some preparations, Shi Heng said jokingly: "Master Li, asking to see this official like this, is the matter already done?" ”

Shi Heng asked this, and Lord Li had to speak: "Lord Shi, I'm really embarrassed, this time the official has a negative trust?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Shi Heng's face changed slightly, and then he laughed and said, "Master Li, as an official of the Criminal Department, is in charge of the world, so he won't even be able to catch a few people in the rivers and lakes." ”

Lord Li blushed and said: "Lord Shi made fun of the lower officials, the position of the lower officials of the criminal department is not thanks to Lord Shi's strong recommendation in front of the emperor, the emperor issued an order to let the lower officials be promoted, speaking of which, the lower officials are extremely impressed by Lord Shi's support, and the things entrusted by the adults today cannot be achieved by the lower officials, and there is really no face to come to see Lord Shi." ”

Hearing him say so cute, Shi Heng knew in his heart that Lord Li in front of him had indeed not done this, so he blurted out and asked, "According to Lord Li's intentions, I couldn't arrest the disciple who shook the candle shadow in prison today?" ”

When Lord Li heard Shi Heng's words, he opened his mouth and said, "What Lord Shi said is true, the contemptible people have indeed failed to arrest the disciples of the sect whose candle shadow is red. ”

When Shi Heng heard this, he asked with some confusion: "This matter is quite strange, Lord Li has always been vicious and hateful, upright, impartial, and unsympathetic, why can't he deal with those Jianghu characters who are red with candle shadows?" ”

Hearing Shi Heng's question, Lord Li said what he had thought of and said: "Lord Shi doesn't know, today this official went to get someone on the order of Lord Li, who knew that there was an extremely powerful woman in the candle shadow shaking red, that is, Lan Jing, saying that there was no emperor's edict, no matter who thought of taking away the next disciple of the Candle Shadow Shake Red Gate, the candle shadow shook the red up and down and would fight with him endlessly. Master Shi, you also know that the family members of the lower officials are all in Beijing, there are old fathers and childish children, no matter what mistakes the old and young have, the second half of the official's life will be guilty. ”

Shi Heng listened to these words, and he didn't want to blame him, so he comforted: "This official understands, Lord Li is not responsible for this matter, it seems that this Lan Jing, who is shaking red with a candle shadow, is really a traitor, and he actually used this to coerce the court officials, and said that without the emperor's will, no one can move his disciples." ”

Hearing this, Lord Li's hanging heart finally relaxed, and he spoke to Shi Heng: "Lord Shi, the lower officials are not doing things effectively, and they are entrusted by Lord Shi. ”

Shi Heng shook his head and said: "I don't blame my brother for this, I didn't expect Lan Jing, who was shaking red with the candle shadow, to be such a powerful and ruthless character, and the foolish brother used to look away." ”

This tone clearly has no meaning of blame, and Lord Li is naturally very happy in his heart, but his face is still silent.

After a while, Master Li asked, "Lord Shi, since the other party is so rude, how can we deal with it?" ”

Shi Heng listened to his words, and then said: "There are not many ways at the moment, but fortunately, the emperor Shengming, knowing that someone must stop him this time, has prepared some things for me and others, otherwise, I am afraid it will be really difficult to do." ”

Hearing Shi Heng's words, Lord Li's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Lord Shi, the emperor can't give anything to your lord." ”

Shi Heng pretended to be pretentious and smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, the emperor just gave me a Shang Fang sword to make me act cheaply." ”

"Shang Fang's sword, such as my own presence." When Lord Li heard this, he was taken aback, and then said carefully: "Lord Shi, this thing is a treasure in the Ouchi, Li has been an official for many years, and he has never had the opportunity to see it. Today, I have this opportunity, I don't know if Lord Shi can show it, which will open Li's eyes. ”

Hearing Lord Li's words, Shi Heng was extremely happy, so he said to him: "If Lord Li wants to see this sword, there is nothing to do, but the sword of Shang Fang is in the inner room of the mansion, how about Lord Li follow me to take a look?" ”

"It's an honor to be there, but there are many families in the inner hall, so I don't know if it's convenient." Master Li was quite cautious.

"Master Li doesn't have to be taboo, although you and I are not good friends, but we are also friends who are good enough to make friends." Shi Heng smiled slightly.

"Thank you Lord Shi for your success, and the officials are grateful." Master Li said to Shi Heng.

Shi Heng pointed ahead, then waved his hand and said, "That being the case, Lord Li, please." ”

Lord Li didn't dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly thanked him: "My lord, how dare the lower officials be presumptuous, or Lord Shi, you go first." ”

When Shi Heng heard this, he didn't shirk, so he walked to the front, and then said, "Then, Master Li, please come with me, don't be restrained." ”

"The subordinate obeys." Master Li replied.

Shi Heng and Master Li walked forward, went around and around, and entered the room, not after a long time, they arrived at a hidden courtyard, surrounded by lush bamboo, lush trees, gurgling water, and the scenery was quite pleasant.

There is a stone bridge in front of it, and it is facing the abyss, and I don't know how deep it is.

Master Li opened his mouth and asked, "Lord Shi, could it be that things can't be made here." ”

A courtyard opposite the Shiheng Bridge said: "This place is a place for foolish brothers to rest, and it is heavily guarded, and this stone bridge is not for ordinary people. ”

Master Li was unconscious for a while when he heard this, and then asked, "Could it be that this bridge has a mechanism?" ”

Shi Heng laughed and said: "Yes, yes, Lord Li's eyesight is extraordinary, but this stone bridge has a few extremely powerful mechanisms, and there are fifteen guards at the other end of the bridge. ”

Master Li then opened his mouth and said: "Lord Shi's design is really wonderful, in this way, there is really no one to break through, Shang Fang's sword is really extremely safe to stay here, and it will never be taken away by those small people." ”

Hearing Lord Li's words, Shi Heng also laughed and said: "Lord Li praised it falsely, this is not Shi's ability, it's just that these people who take care of the home are all people with strong martial arts hired by Shi Mou from the rivers and lakes at a great cost, and everyone spent about 200,000 taels of silver." ”

"One person is 200,000, fifteen is not 3 million taels, Lord Shi is really generous." Master Li opened his mouth in great surprise.

"This is nothing, there are many such characters around Lord Ben, and there are some top masters among them, and the price is far more than that." Shi Heng said casually.

"Master Shi's family has a lot of money, and he is really generous." Master Li said to Shi Heng with great envy.
