Chapter 80: Taking the Dark Road

A good banquet came to an end in this sudden change. = Emperor Wen Hui was disturbed, and it didn't take long for him to leave, and the queen was tired. The emperor and queen all left, and the courtiers naturally knew that they couldn't stay for a long time, so they found excuses to leave. Although today's matter seems to have found a perfect ending on the surface, the eldest lady of the Shen family married into the palace of Prince Yu, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is just a shocking scandal, as for the eldest lady of the Shen family, once she marries into the palace of Prince Yu, she will naturally be more than lucky.

Luo Xueyan held Shen Miao's hand tightly, she didn't know how Shen Qing and Prince Yu could have an affair, but because of this, she was more worried about Shen Miao's safety, and she only felt that the danger in the capital was not much worse than that of the Northwest Desert.

Shen Qiu didn't say a word until he left, he had always been cheerful, which made Shen Xin think that he was embarrassed because of Shen Qing's matter. But he didn't know that Shen Qiu's heart was already furious at this moment, and he only felt that he had nowhere to sway his sullen anger, and he hated the evil heart of the second room of the Shen family, and he also hated Prince Yu for being shameless.

Shen Qing had already been hurriedly taken away by Ren Wanyun, but Shen Gui's face was very exciting, and everyone's gaze at him was also meaningful. Some colleagues in the court who were not in the right place even came to the well, and smiled at him: "Congratulations to Lord Shen, it is a great blessing to be able to marry His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

If Shen Qing had married Prince Yu in the past, it might not be a big problem for Shen Gui, as long as it could help his career, his daughter's happiness would not be very important. But now, Shen Qing's performance today has obviously brought trouble to Prince Yu, will Prince Yu be angry with him? Thinking about it, Shen Gui felt some irritability and fear in his heart.

After the banquet dispersed, Luo Xueyan and Shen Miao walked outside the palace, and when they passed by a corridor, Shen Miao reminded her softly: "Be careful, there is a brick here that is loose." ”

Luo Xueyan is a military general, his steps are big and heavy, and if he steps on it, he may fall down. Luo Xueyan took a closer look before smiling: "I almost fell." Then he was stunned again, looked at Shen Miao and asked, "How does Jiaojiao know?"

Shen Miao choked, she had lived in the palace for decades, and she had long remembered what it was. Luo Xueyan asked, and she had to answer: "There was a year when I fell here, and I remember it ever since." ”

"I see. Luo Xueyan smiled heartily: "Jiaojiao is smart, remember the place where you fall, and you won't fall again." ”

Shen Miao's heart moved, but she didn't speak.

While the two were walking, they saw two guard-like people dragging a little eunuch past, the little eunuch was gagged with a handkerchief in his mouth, and seemed to be struggling desperately, but where did he break free from the tall and tall guards. Following the three of them was none other than the chief eunuch Gao Gonggong.

"Mrs. Shen, Miss Shen. Gao Gonggong stopped and saluted them.

"Father-in-law Gao, this is ......," Luo Xueyan asked as she looked at the little eunuch.

"The newcomer doesn't understand the rules and makes a mistake, and the miscellaneous family is taking him to be punished. Gao Gonggong said with a sharp voice.

When the little eunuch saw Shen Miao, his eyes fell on the stunned body behind Shen Miao, and he suddenly struggled like crazy, as if he wanted to rush to the stunned side.

"Be honest!" Gao Gonggong kicked the little eunuch in the crook of the knee, and the latter snorted and fell to his knees at once. Gao Gonggong snorted from his nose and said, "I don't know what is high and the earth is thick, and it almost collided with the nobleman." ”

Luo Xueyan frowned, she didn't like these impersonal punishments in the palace very much, such a scene would also make her feel uncomfortable, when she said to Gao Gonggong: "Since this is the case, I won't disturb Gao Gonggong to do things." ”

Gao Gonggong hurriedly responded with a smile.

But Shen Miao suddenly opened her mouth and said softly: "Since you have made a mistake, you should naturally be punished." ”

Everyone looked at her in surprise, the little eunuch's body shook, and there was a trace of resentment in his eyes when he looked at Shen Miao. Shen Miaoli ignored it, took Luo Xueyan and left, but when he left, he still lightly threw down a sentence: "If you don't understand the rules, you have to teach, the palace is not as good as the outside of the palace, and now it is not the same as in the past." ”

The figure of Shen Miao and his party gradually moved away, and Gonggong Gao said to the two guards: "What are you waiting for, let's go." ”

Xiao Lizi's face was full of unwillingness, and his face was full of fear. He didn't know what he had done wrong, in the small garden of the Hui Dynasty banquet, Shen Miao's personal maid gave him a silver ingot, and said to her that Miss Shen was unwell, and she didn't drink the wine prepared for the palace banquet, just need a cup of Qinghe tea, please be accommodating when the banquet is held. He felt that this matter could simply get a piece of silver, why not, and if he flattered this young lady of the Shen family, maybe there would be nobles in the future.

But Xiao Lizi did a lot of calculations, but he didn't expect Shen Qing to be pregnant, and the Qinghe tea became the culprit that caused everything. It can be said that that cup of Qinghe tea caused a lot of trouble, and the source of this cup of tea, checked and checked, and found it on his head.

Xiao Lizi explained countless times but no one believed his words, and the silver he received was also the most ordinary silver, not even official silver. How could a noble lady give a reward, how could he use such ordinary silver, no one believed his words, he was a wicked person. What awaits him?

Outside, Shen Miao walked quietly. What is waiting for Xiao Lizi, she knows better than anyone else, the palace is a place where it is easy to reverse black and white, if you stand tall, you will have the ability to turn black into white, if it is very short, then I can't help it, and what I say becomes black. When Fu Xiuyi first ascended the throne, Xiao Lizi was a dog that came and went when he was called by Gao Gonggong's side, and she saw Xiao Lizi pitiful and was willing to give him face in the palace. Later, Xiao Lizi became Gonggong Li, and she changed from the queen to the abolished queen, and the eunuch who was personally promoted by herself also personally gave her the last ride and gave her a piece of advice: This time is different from the past.

Now she can be regarded as returning the original sentence of this sentence, this life is different from the past life. Now she is the daughter of a high-ranking official, and the other party is just a dust that is low into the mustard, and she doesn't even bother to make a move, so clean and neat, very good.

She and Luo Xueyan were walking in front, but behind the twists and turns of the corridor, someone looked at her back and sighed: "Is this Miss Shen family having a grudge against that little eunuch? ”

Beside him, Xie Jingxing looked at him with a sneer: "When did you become compassionate?"

"Those who are doctors should be parents. Gao Yang shook his fan, suddenly thought of something, his expression became solemn, and said: "Miss Shen is not simple, in the palace, she has been looking at me for a long time, could it be ...... She found out who I am?"

"No way. ”

"Then the way she looks at me is really terrifying," Gao Yang touched his chin and thought seriously before he spoke: "Could it be that she likes me?"

Xie Jingxing stared at him expressionlessly, and spit out a word: "Get out." ”

"You're boring. Gao Yang shook his head with regret: "Although the big thing is imminent now, your temperament is becoming more and more fierce." Or to relax and relax. ”

Xie Jingxing looked into the distance and said, "Yushu is here." ”

"What?" Gao Yang was taken aback: "When?"

"Yesterday. ”

Gao Yang's expression gradually became solemn: "Do you want to ......?"

"Not bad. ”

......

Dingjing, Shen Mansion, Caiyun Garden.

With a "snap" slap, clear fingerprints suddenly appeared on Shen Qing's face, and his lips were a little red.

"Shen Gui, what are you doing!" Ren Wanyun shouted sharply, and protected Shen Qing in her arms, while looking at Shen Gui with fierce intentions.

"What am I doing?" Shen Gui's smile was hideous, like a vicious wolf, I was afraid that if it weren't for a trace of affection, I really wanted to kill the two people in front of me. He said, "What did you do today?"

"What?" Ren Wanyun was not to be outdone: "Can you blame Qing'er for this? You are Qing'er's father, you don't help your daughter and beat her, Shen Gui, you have no conscience!"

"Girl?" Shen Gui laughed angrily: "I, Shen Gui, don't have such a girl! I don't know how to be honest, I hook up with three and four! I still have a bad seed! It's really worse than the prostitutes under the Qinglou!"

Shen Qing's body shook violently, and a pair of eyes were a little blurred, and when Ren Wanyun saw this, her heart was suddenly like a knife. But as long as Shen Gui had a trace of father-daughter affection for Shen Qing, he would not use such vicious words to talk about his daughter.

Ren Wanyun handed Shen Qing over to Chun Tao, stood up with a sneer, and said, "Shen Gui, you yourself touch your conscience and ask, who is the victim of Qing'er when she is now? Is it me? Is it Shen Miao's little slut! Why don't you go to Shen Miao's trouble, oh, you're afraid, you're afraid that the eldest brother and sister-in-law will come back, and you can't touch that little slut." You are angry with Qing'er, but don't forget, you also have a part in the incident in Wolong Temple, you will now be alone, and push everything on Qing'er and me, the old lady will not eat your set! If you are in a hurry, I will tell my eldest brother and sister-in-law, and none of us can please him!"

"You!" Shen Gui had been married to Ren Wanyun for many years, and he had never seen Ren Wanyun look like a shrew, and what made him even more uneasy was that Ren Wanyun actually threatened him with this matter. Although Shen Gui is sleek, he is extremely timid in his bones, which can be seen from the fact that he did not dare to provoke Prince Yu at all. Now that Shen Xin and his wife have returned home, he doesn't dare to trouble Shen Miao. If Ren Wanyun really dared to shake this matter out, Shen Gui believed that Shen Xin might slash him with a knife.

Thinking of this, Shen Gui said angrily: "You shrew, you are so unreasonable, I can't tell you clearly!

Looking at the back of Shen Gui leaving in a hurry, Ren Wanyun's face was mocking, her husband knew best that Shen Gui was a person who bullied the weak and was afraid of the hard, and if he married such a person, he couldn't even protect his daughter now.

Undoubtedly, Shen Miao gave Ren Wanyun a fatal blow, and for Ren Wanyun, it was more painful to watch her daughter go to destruction step by step than to kill her. At this point, the queen gave marriage, and Ren Wanyun has the ability to reach the sky, but she can't change anything.

"Shen Miao, this account, I Ren Wanyun will not ask you to get it back, and I will not be a person. She grinded her teeth and bit her lips out of blood.

......

In the west courtyard, after Shen Xin and his wife returned to their house, Shen Qiu was still sitting still.

He sat at Shen Miao's table with a wooden face, this young general usually looks like a warm spring, but once his face is black, he has a bit of the bloody atmosphere of a man on the battlefield, and Bai Lu and Frost are a little afraid to step forward.

"Big brother. Shen Miao sent Shen Xin and his wife back to the house and sat down across from him.

"Sister, I thought about it again and again," Shen Qiu said: "This matter still can't be left like this, I am panicked in my heart." The "matter" he said referred to the matter of Shen Qing and Prince Yu. Although Shen Miao had concealed some of it before, after the return banquet, Shen Qiu himself could guess the ins and outs. It was precisely because he knew that this thing was vicious and absurd that Shen Qiu was angry. The youngest sister in their family was so calculated this year, and she almost lost her life, if something really happened, Shen Qiu didn't dare to think how much they regretted it.

Shen Miao looked at him, and Shen Qiu was still saying: "The more I think about it, the more angry I become, sister, don't stop me, even if you fight for your life, I won't let them have a good time." ”

"Big brother. Shen Miao sighed: "I have already said it, there is no evidence for this matter." Since they do things, they naturally do not leak, and there is a Prince Yu involved, and the royal family will give protection to Prince Yu, if you jump out, you are standing on the opposite side of the royal family, do you want to kill your father?"

Shen Qiu was stunned for a moment, Shen Miao's words were too rational, and he actually ignored the disrespect and disdain for the Ming Qi royal family in Shen Miao's tone. He knew that what Shen Miao said was right, there were not girls who had not been ruined by Prince Yu among the nobles of the family at the beginning, and those families were not without a reputation higher than the Shen family, but in the end, they were all raised high and put down low, and behind the Prince Yu Mansion was the highest power of Ming Qi, and colliding with it was like hitting a stone with an egg. But he still felt very bored in his heart, and he asked, "You can't just forget it." ”

"Big brother, play a game of chess with me. Shen Miao said.

"When is it," Shen Qiu scratched his head: "And don't you like to play chess?"

Shen Miao didn't answer his words, set up the chessboard, picked up the sunspot by himself, and gave it to Shen Qiu, and said: "The two armies are facing each other, this is your soldier, this is my soldier, with the son as the pawn, the generals are divided, how about competing in the world?"

Shen Qiu has always been keen on the battlefield, and when he heard this, he was also interested, and said, "Okay." "Although he is a military general, he is also proficient in chess. Just because playing chess and fighting war have so much in common, a clever chess game can sometimes see endless tactics.

The white and black sons fall on the chessboard, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, and the black, black, white and white seem to be really a martial battlefield. Shen Miao's slow play of chess is not that her movements are slow, but she is very soft, which is different from Shen Qiu's sonorous style, there is a kind of softness that seems to be. This feeling made Shen Qiu feel a kind of powerlessness to grind flesh with a blunt knife. No matter how much Shen Qiu's white son coerced, she didn't move, maintained her rhythm, and fell the sunspot unhurriedly. Although it seems that she is falling behind, there are a lot of sunspots in her hands, and occasionally Shen Qiu sees that she is about to devour her sunspots, but she escapes cunningly.

A stick of incense passed, and there were a lot of white and black on the table, and no one got a bargain, and no one ate each other. It's just that it can be clearly seen that it has always been Shen Qiu's Baizi who has taken the initiative, and the sunspots have been forced into the corner by Baizi, and if this continues, Shen Qiu will be able to eat Shen Miao's Baizi one by one if he steps up his pace.

Shen Qiu said: "Sister, your way to escape is very good, but if you want to follow me overnight like this, I am going to attack." ”

"That's right," Shen Miao smiled slightly, "I plan to do the same." Before the words fell, the sunspot in her hand suddenly fell to a tricky position, Shen Qiu's brows furrowed tightly, only that one position, and the situation of the whole game seemed to have changed.

He was amazed in his heart, the previous Bai Zi's step-by-step coercion, at this moment, it seemed that he was cocooning himself, he was trapped in the overall situation of Shen Miao's black son, and he didn't know where to start.

Next, Shen Miao changed his previous style of only attacking but not defending, and started sharply, eating Shen Qiu's white son like a whirlwind, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Shen Qiu was still full of white seeds, and only the last one was left.

"I lost. Shen Qiu smiled bitterly, and looked at Shen Miao in surprise: "Sister, when did your chess skills improve like this?"

Using the chess game as the battlefield, he killed his sister to the ground, and it was a big joke to say it. However, he was also very surprised in his heart, what Shen Miao showed was not the control of the chess pieces, but the understanding of the overall situation. From the previous weak style to the final sharp fall, she looked calm, maybe how this game of chess will go, is always in her grasp.

"I don't want to play chess with my big brother. Shen Miao shook her head and said, "Earlier, the eldest brother asked me if it was just like that, after playing a game of chess, what did the eldest brother think?"

Shen Qiu was stunned for a moment, then startled, and said, "You ......"

Kuroko had a soft posture in front, only attacking but not defending, and when he reached the back, he turned abruptly, reversed the whole situation, and devoured the opponent cleanly. It means that Shen Miao was gentle with Shen Qing's affairs before, and she didn't resist, not because she planned to just forget it, but because she ...... Instead, she was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for those people's methods to deal with Shen Miao to become a cocoon and self-restraint, and she would make another move, and return with a full load?

"There are many ways to do this. Under the lamplight, the girl held a black piece in her finger, and the white fingers and the pitch-black chess pieces formed a sharp contrast, which was a strange beauty. Her voice was understated: "This road doesn't work, then change the way." What is bright is not good, so what is dark. They've blocked their way out, and it's time for us to play chess. ”

Looking at the beauty under the lamp, the beauty is like jade, Shen Miao can only be called a beautiful woman, but at this moment, even Shen Qiu can't help but look sideways, the girl's posture is quiet, but it seems to contain huge energy, a seven-trick and exquisite heart, has long hidden the chess game in his heart, and everyone has become a chess piece.

Shen Qiu felt astringent in his heart, he always felt that although Shen Miao was not close to him, his temperament was extremely simple, such a temperament, he was only afraid that he would be used by outsiders, but now, he could see clearly that his sister had grown up unconsciously, and this scheming skill was not even comparable to him.

"Sister, I don't understand. She said.

"If the eldest brother believes me, leave this matter to me. Shen Miao said: "A person like Prince Yu will inevitably come to the Shen Mansion for trouble because of this matter in the future." To cut the grass to the roots, we don't need such enemies. ”

"Sister didn't just say that Prince Yu's Mansion has the support of the royal family behind it, so I can't go directly to find trouble, sister, what can you do?" Shen Qiu worried.

"As I said earlier, if the white road doesn't work, take the black road, there are thousands of roads in the world, and there is always one that works. Shen Miao said lightly: "He, Prince Yu, is relying on the royal fox and fake tiger might, but he is just a turtle with a shell, pull out his shell, see how arrogant he is!"

In Shen Qiu's stunned, Shen Miao smiled at him: "But big brother, I need some silver, so ...... Those things that Your Majesty has rewarded me with real money, and I will be useful. ”

Shen Qiu wanted to ask Shen Miao what he was going to do, but for some reason, he couldn't say anything to Shen Miao's sparkling eyes. He is a dignified Shen deputy general, and when facing Shen Xin, he will occasionally fight with Shen Xin with a red face and a thick neck, but as long as Shen Miao looks at him quietly, Shen Qiu feels that he will obey everything unconditionally. Shen Qiu secretly smacked himself in his heart, the enemy generals are not afraid, they are afraid of a little girl?

"Big brother?"

Shen Qiu came back to his senses and said, "Okay, I'll go back and ask someone to pick some and send them over." ”

"Thank you, big brother," Shen Miao nodded: "It's getting late, big brother should go and rest." ”

"Good. ”

"Don't worry about the affairs of Prince Yu's mansion, don't tell your father, I'll take care of it. ”

“...... Good. ”

Shen Qiu scratched his head and left, and when he got out of Shen Miao's house, he suddenly slapped his forehead and frowned, damn, he really had a feeling of being protected by his sister!

In the house, Gu Yu cautiously asked, "Girl, do you really need so much silver tomorrow?"

Shen Miao's gaze froze, Gu Yu hadn't seen such a serious expression of his own girl for a long time.

She sighed, "I'm just afraid I won't be able to take it off." ”

......

On the second day, Shen Qiu really picked up several boxes of real money and came to Shen Miao's courtyard, he was probably afraid that Shen Miao would lack silver, so he took out a thousand taels of silver tickets from his arms and gave them to Shen Miao, and said with a smile: "My sister has a lot of silver at her age now, and I'm afraid that the moon silver is not enough." You take the silver, and if you have something you want to buy, you can buy it, and if it is not enough, you can ask the eldest brother for it. ”

The maids who swept the floor outside all looked at Shen Miao with envy, they used to feel that their fifth girl had an embarrassing position in the house, but she had a good reputation, and she didn't know that she was bullied, which was really pitiful. Now it seems that they are all blind, not to mention Shen Xin and his wife, even Shen Qiu can spoil this sister to the sky.

Shen Miao felt a little inexplicable, Shen Qiu's attitude was strange, she nodded, did not refuse, accepted the silver ticket and said, "Thank you." ”

Shen Qiu was suddenly a little disappointed, thought about it and beckoned, the two guards behind him immediately stepped forward, Shen Qiu said: "My two guards are good in the army, and I will lend them to protect you for the time being." He was worried that Prince Yu would have any tricks, if it weren't for Shen Miao's strong request to go out, Shen Qiu would have directly let Shen Miao stay in the mansion.

Shen Miao responded, Mo Qing also followed, and Shen Qiu smiled: "You have chosen a good guard." ”

Mo Qing has broken away from the identity of the Shen Mansion Outer Guard, Shen Miao told Shen Qiu his identity, Shen Qiu returned the deed of sale to Mo Qing, and let Mo Qing come to the Shen family's army, but these days, he is regarded as Shen Miao's guard, protecting her safety.

With three guards and two maids, Shen Miao finally walked out of the gate of the Shen Mansion.

Even the coachman who was in a hurry was a person with martial arts who was found by Shen Qiu.

Shen Qiu's little servant said: "The young master is really protecting the young lady." ”

Shen Qiu sighed, but unfortunately no matter how he protected him, he was too old to be a sister, and he didn't have the sense of accomplishment of being a brother.

"Let's go," he waved his hand, "Go back and practice your sword!"

......

Fengxian Pawnshop is the largest pawnshop in Dingjing City.

Compared with other pawnshops, this pawnshop naturally has some advantages. The Fengxian pawnshop is only a precious thing, and if it is an ordinary item, it will be "politely" invited out by the pawnshop guys. The owner of this pawnshop is probably also an open-minded person, and if the items given by the guests are really precious enough, the pawnshop's pawn price will never be low. However, there is a rule in the Fengxian pawnshop, only death is done here, and once something is out, there is no reason to redeem it.

But people's precious things, if they are not at the end of the road, no one will go out, let alone die. Therefore, although the Fengxian pawnshop is rich and rich, it also occupies the largest area in Dingjing City, but there are very few guests who come and go. Under such circumstances, this Fengxian pawnshop has maintained for many years, and I don't know how to make a living.

Today, in front of the Fengxian pawnshop, there is a carriage parked.

Some people passing by couldn't help but glance at this end, because the people who came to the Fengxian pawnshop to make things were probably desperate and in urgent need of silver, and this carriage looked quite exquisite, and the coachman sitting in the carriage was not like ordinary people, and he didn't look like a poor person. And how a rich man would come here to pawn something precious is really a bit strange.

The pawnshop was a young boy in gray, who was clever and capable, and when he saw the carriage stop in front of the door, he was also slightly stunned, and then several women came out of it. The girl at the head is about the young lady of a family, wearing a cloak, with beautiful eyebrows, and when she looks at it, her eyes are as clear as water.

Several guards and maids surrounded the girl, and the young man greeted him and said with a smile: "The guest wants to be a thing." ”

"There's something to pawn. The purple-clothed girl said.

"What is this guest going to pawn? Can you take a look at the goods first?" said the young man with a smile. He could see that the girl was either rich or expensive, and her smile was even more enthusiastic. Who knew that the other party shook his head: "I want to see you in charge here." ”

"This ...... It's not in order, guest. The young man shook his head. He has seen a lot of people who come here to find fault, and some of them are rich and wealthy, but Fengxian Pawnshop has never been afraid of these individuals.

"I'm going to be too big, you look down on it. The girl was not annoyed, and said lightly.

When he looked at those eyes, the young man actually felt like he was falling into an ice cellar. Before he could speak, he heard a coquettish voice sound: "Who wants to see me?"

A young woman walked out from behind, this woman was not beautiful, but she was full of charm, and several guards behind Shen Miao were a little blushing.

"Does this guest want to see me?" asked the woman with a smile as she twisted her waist.

Shen Miao shook her head: "I want to see you in charge, Bai Xiaosheng." ”

The woman's smile stiffened for a moment.
