Chapter 169: Sweet Dates and Big Sticks
Coming back from Chen Ji's residence, Deng Long went to the courtyard to practice knives boringly, Shen Ao saw Deng Long practice knives, and felt very boring, he thought that the martial arts of this era would be as fancy and beautiful as the film and television works of later generations.
At noon, halfway through the article, he heard the crowd outside the house, Deng Long didn't know when he stopped playing knife skills, and rushed in and said: "Childe, childe, there is a will, the official family has made a decree, and it is at the door." ”
Will again?
Shen Ao threw his pen and was stunned for a moment, this holy decree is so diligent, how can it be like sending a text message, and there is no end, what is really the matter with the official family, just tell me yesterday, what are you doing so mysterious?
He already has a faint fear of the Holy Decree, this kind of being scolded by others, and he has to greet him with a smile, no one is very happy.
Deng Long urged: "Shen Gongzi, hurry up and receive the will, you can't delay it." ”
Shen Ao didn't think much about it, took Deng Long, and walked quickly to the gate, still opening the middle door and setting up the incense case, Mrs., young master, young lady, and the servants of the family have been waiting for a long time, Zhou Heng has been crazy for a few days, Xu has just come back, he saw Shen Ao from afar, and shouted loudly: "Cousin, hurry up, eunuch...... Ah, no, the will is coming. ”
The word eunuch was taught by Shen Ao to him, Shen Ao was embarrassed, fortunately in this era, the name of the eunuch is not derogatory, and even has the meaning of honorific title, representing the officials in the palace, otherwise it is really embarrassing for people to listen.
The eunuch who announced the decree had not yet entered the mansion, Shen Ao ran over, and his wife was still dressed as a wife, and said to Shen Ao without worry: "Why did you come to the decree again, did you do something to provoke the official family?" ”
Shen Ao smiled bitterly: "Auntie, what am I doing to provoke the official family, I don't have the heart or the courage to do this." ”
Zhou Heng was afraid that the world would not be chaotic and said: "Wow, mother, he actually has this heart." ”
Zhou Ruo twisted Zhou Heng and said, "What are you doing so loudly." Then he looked around vigilantly, and said with a pretty face: "Are you afraid that others will not hear?" ”
After receiving the fatal scissor hand of his sister, Zhou Heng suddenly became honest, and only then did he see Deng Long behind Shen Ao and said, "Who is he?" ”
Deng Long smiled and crossed his hands at everyone: "Contemptible Deng Long, the front of the palace commanded the secretary to go on a business trip, and was ordered to protect the safety of Shen Gongzi." ”
Shen Ao was speechless for a while, he only found out now that this Deng Long actually mixed in directly, and even his wife didn't know it; This guy is like a forbidden army, and he is a hanger, so find a time to teach him a lesson.
Madame took Shen Ao's hand and said, "Since you didn't cause trouble, you don't have to be afraid, with your uncle here, even if there is really a mistake, it's a big deal to take you to ask for mercy." ”
As he was talking, Yang Jian had already stepped in, and said with a straight face: "Shen Ao took the order." ”
"The system said: Shen Ao, the prisoner of the country.
There is a prisoner Shen Ao, who behaves debauched, I have repeatedly admonished, but I have never repented, how can I be indulgent? Yesterday was the state banquet, and he beat the prince of Nibora, his crime is unforgivable, and he still doesn't know how to deceive himself, it is tolerable, and it is unbearable, that is, he will be sent to Shen Ao to be imprisoned......"
At first, he still scolded loudly, Xu is mansion was used to the holy decree scolding Shen Ao, but they were all insensitive, but Mrs. and Zhou Ruo frowned, and Zhou Heng was confused. But later, everyone was shocked, it turned out that Shen Ao went to the state banquet and actually beat Prince Nibora, which was repaid.
Madame's face changed suddenly, but Zhou Ruo, but thoughtfully, yesterday Shen Ao mentioned this matter to her, she just didn't believe it, but now she knows that it is true, and her heart moved, isn't it that my cousin really went to beat the mud bhara prince for himself? How can this be born?
Only Shen Ao was indignant in his heart, sure enough, the king is like a tiger, the emperor can be shameless to this point, if it wasn't for this son who saved you yesterday, can this peace be reached? Can Prince Surya relent?
At the end of the hearing, it was everyone's face that turned pale, and it was no fun to get rid of the prisoners.
Shen Ao was also stunned for a while, his mind was buzzing, and he couldn't react, this prisoner, if he said he was rare, he was not rare, but if he was not rare, wouldn't the hard work of the past six months be in vain?
In his trance, Yang Jian had finished reading the holy decree, walked over with a smile, helped Shen Ao up, and said, "Shen Ao, the miscellaneous family asked you, are you convinced by the words in the holy decree?" ”
Shen Ao gritted his teeth, he was too bullying, he didn't say anything about revenge, he actually wanted to convince Lao Tzu, although his surname looked very gentle, but his temper was not easy to provoke, and he said coldly: "Not convinced." ”
"It's good if you don't accept it." Yang Jian smiled, his face was the same as before, looking at this angry Shen Ao, he sighed in his heart: "This Shen brother is really bold enough, but unfortunately he is a little uncontrollable, and he still needs to be sharpened." ”
When the lady on the side heard Shen Ao say the word dissatisfied, her face suddenly changed greatly, and she gently shook Shen Ao's arm; And Zhou Ruo's face was as pale as paper, and his mind was blank.
Yang Jian said: "The official said, if you are not satisfied, then you will be examined for one or two, and if you answer correctly, you will still be your supervisor." ”
Shen Ao was speechless, and suddenly understood, this is to hit a stick first, and then give sweet dates, the emperor Lao'er is really not a good person, is there such a whole person?
Shen Ao said angrily: "What is the school exam?" ”
Yang Jian said: "The granary is on fire, what does the son have to say?" ”
Shen Ao said coldly: "Can you have any advice, didn't you say that Fang Layu bandits attacked the grain depot?" ”
Yang Jian smiled strangely and said, "I answered wrong, Shen Gongzi, I'm really sorry, the miscellaneous family is going back to restore their lives." ”
"Wait." Shen Ao hurriedly grabbed him, but he knew that this emperor Lao'er was really not joking, and said, "Maybe there is another answer." ”
Yang Jian was not in a hurry to leave, and still said with a smile: "Childe, please speak." ”
Shen Ao groaned: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is a curfew at night, and there are a lot of forbidden troops patrolling the streets, if it is said that there are three or four people raiding the grain depot, it makes sense, no matter how many people there are, the number of people will increase greatly." However, as far as I know, there are hundreds of guards in this grain depot, and even if dozens of people raid by surprise, it is absolutely impossible to defeat the guards in the shortest possible time, set fire to them, and retreat without leaving a single clue. ”
"Unless the officials of the household department can do this, the students really can't think of any other possibilities than the guards who steal themselves."
Yang Jian's eyes lit up and said, "Gongzi continues, if it is a household official, why do they set it on fire?" You must know that this guard is stealing from himself, and he must do it if it is beneficial, and what good is it for them to burn down the grain depot? ”
Shen Ao continued to say calmly: "The New Year is approaching, it is said that the household department has to check the accounts once a year before the New Year, led by Zhongshu Province, together with Dali Temple and the Criminal Department to check the amount of grain in stock. Father-in-law Yang, let me ask you, if the grain stored in this granary has already been coveted, what should be done if the evidence is to be erased? ”
Yang Jian raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you saying that there is actually no grain in this grain depot for a long time, and these grains have long been coveted?" ”
Shen Ao nodded and said seriously: "Maybe for some people, this fire burns well, this burn, I don't know how many people are happy, tonight, many people must have slept very sweetly!" ”
Yang Jian nodded his head and said with a clear smile: "Gongzi's words are amazing, but his analysis is very reasonable, as for this answer, I need to go back to the official's house immediately to see how he handles it." As he spoke, he patted the back of Shen Ao's hand and comforted him: "Shen Gongzi doesn't have to worry, it seems that there will be a holy decree coming." ”
Shen Ao smiled bitterly: "I'm not afraid to laugh with Brother Yang, as soon as I hear these two words, the students will be frightened, and they can't help it." ”
These words are a bit rebellious, not to mention that they are meant to be heard by Yang Jian, Yang Gonggong is a big celebrity in front of the official family, if the word reaches the ears of the official family, I don't know what the punishment is.
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this, and they all thought that Shen Ao was crazy.
Shen Ao still kept smiling, revealing a little sincerity; In fact, among many people, only Shen Ao understands his intentions, this sentence is not big, it is not small, and Yang Jian made it clear that he was a little enveloped by himself, and told him this sentence, Yang Jian not only did not go to the official house to report, but it would make him trust him more.
If a person says such things from the bottom of his heart, it at least shows a kind of trust.
Yang Jian's heart warmed, where did he not understand the letter of nomination handed over by Shen Ao, everyone is a smart person, and the mind of a smart person is the same, and he immediately said: "Don't worry, the next one will be a grace, and the miscellaneous family will go." ”
Yang Jian was in a hurry to go back to his life, and hurriedly took the servant away; Leaving only a group of stunned people from the mansion and waiting, Madame's face was slightly pale, looking worried, Shen Ao hurriedly picked her up, and said with a smile: "Auntie don't worry, at most a day, at least an hour, this prisoner can't escape." ”
Madame nodded thoughtfully, and seemed to hear that there was no malice in Yang Jian's words, so she said, "How can you even beat the prince of Nibora, I don't even know such a horrific thing." ”
Zhou Ruo's eyes were red and he said: "Mother, my cousin did it to protect me, and that Nibora prince proposed to His Majesty to marry me." ”
When the lady heard this, she immediately became angry and said, "Such a person should be beaten, what kind of place is Nibora, if I marry my daughter there, will I still live in this life?" Seeing Zhou Ruolihua's appearance with rain, he went over to hold her hand and comfort her: "Don't blame yourself, we are all a family, Shen Ao protects you, even if you really lose this prisoner, it's not a big deal." With your father, there is room for maneuver in everything. ”
After two hours, it was not early, and the family chatted in the hall for a while, quite a little waiting for the will.
The lady was uneasy, always a little relieved, and when she saw that Guogong had not come back so late, she complained: "Every time something happens, I always don't see him, I really don't know what he is busy with, and he doesn't even care about his home?" ”
Shen Ao said with a smile: "The granary is on fire, how can my uncle stand by and watch, this is a big deal, it is official business, maybe he will come back in the next moment." ”
Guogong didn't come back, but Yang Jian came again, the news of the arrival of the holy decree spread far and wide, and soon came over, fortunately, everything that should have been prepared was ready, and someone opened the middle door, and the group went to receive the decree, Yang Jian stepped into the middle gate, facing the dimness in the sky, and said loudly: "The system said: Shen Ao, the supervisor of the country...... Ling Er was also reinstated as a prisoner, and another Ling Arrow was given......"
These words are easy to understand, sure enough, it was a sweet jujube, and the prisoner sent it back, and also sent a golden order arrow, according to the meaning of the holy decree, take this order arrow without asking for instructions, arbitrary, the right to cut first and then play, so that Shen Ao immediately joined Wei County to arrest the murderer of the grain depot case, and it should not be delayed.
