Shen Ke's mind flew through it quickly, it seemed that a long time had passed, but in fact it was only a momentary thing.

With a decision, Shen spoke.

"Jiang Cheng!"

"Childe."

"You take a few people to find a way out, and then ......" He stood in front of Jiang Cheng, and when he said the rest of the words, his voice was almost a whisper, and even Xue Nuo didn't hear what he said clearly.

After finishing speaking, Shen Ke directly gave the booklet in his hand to Jiang Cheng,

"Let's go now!"

Jiang Cheng grabbed the booklet and looked ugly: "Childe ......"

"Let's go!" Shen said in a deep voice, "This booklet is in your hands, no one dares to touch me, but if someone takes it away, all of us will die here." ”

The fire was getting closer and closer, and people were already coming in towards the backyard, and the guards were all blocked in front of the arch outside the study.

Jiang Cheng also knew that things could not be delayed, even if he was not worried about Shen Qi's safety, he also knew that it was useless for him to stay at the moment, but the biggest crisis was that the thing in his hand fell into the hands of others.

"Be careful, boy."

Listening to the chaotic footsteps outside getting closer and closer, Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth, clicked the three guards in front of the door, and led them to turn around and go directly to the shadow behind the building.

Hu Yan saw that Shen Qi's people had left with the booklet, and immediately said urgently: "Shen Gongzi, you said that you wanted to save me, but my father's things fell into your hands, and you want to save me......"

Shen pursed his lips: "I also want to save you, but you also see what is going on outside, I'm afraid that I can't protect myself now, how can I save you?" ”

Hu Yan's face turned pale.

Shen looked at him and said, "You don't have to be too afraid, you don't know much about your father, and the booklet is also in my hand, if anyone asks about you later, just tell the truth." ”

He put the letter that Hu Shenglin had given to Hu Shengquan in the lampshade and burned it.

"Since your father asked you to ask for help from Jingzhong, then you just need to bite it to death and say that your father had already sent a letter to Hu Shilang a few days ago saying that you were going to enter Beijing, and for Hu Shilang's sake, they didn't dare to take your life easily."

"But ......"

"No, but, if you are willing to believe me, do as I say, if you don't believe me, then you can only live and die."

Shen didn't explain much to Hu Yan, when the letter was burned clean, the fire outside had already reached the attic.

He put the lampshade back on, looked at Hu Yan with a pale face again, and only turned his head to the child who had been standing beside him and asked, "Are you afraid?" ”

Xue Nuo shook his head: "Don't be afraid." ”

"Childe is here, what is there to be afraid of."

Shen has always disliked people patting on the back, but Xue Nuo's words made him can't help but bend the corners of his mouth, and he said softly: "Let's go, follow me to see who it is." ”

……

The sound of light armor and footsteps under the attic was staggered, and the firelight illuminated the entire courtyard, and all the subordinates of the Hu family who were originally guarding outside were taken down.

Those officers and soldiers dressed surrounded the entire courtyard, and the remaining guards of the Shen family all gathered in front of the building, holding knives and confronting those who came in, and one of them was still holding the dead soldier that Jiang Cheng had taken before.

Shen didn't go down, led Xue Nuo to the door, stretched out his hand to support the vermilion railing and looked at the situation in the courtyard condescendingly.

When he saw the people standing in the middle of those people clearly, Shen suddenly laughed, and raised his voice down: "Who is my Dao, it turned out to be Master Cui, you are not on an errand in Beijing, why did you come to Jiangnan?" ”

The man below had a square face and tiger eyes, and his body was strong, and when he raised his eyes, he raised his hand and said when he saw Shen Ke standing upstairs:

"I was ordered by the emperor to come to Jiangnan with Lord Xu to inspect, some time ago, the county order here reported that someone had privately opened a black mine and injured people's lives, and it happened that Lord Xu found out that a case of smuggling salt luck was also related to here."

"I was ordered to bring someone over to lock up the people of the Hu family, I don't know why Lord Xiao Shen is also here?"

Shen leaned on the railing and said, "Anyway, I'm not here to extinguish the mouth." ”

“……”

Cui Le's face froze.

Shen said: "Since the matter of the Hu family's black mine was reported by the Tao County Order, then he should have told Master Xu that I had friction with the Hu family." ”

"The place where I live is adjacent to the Hu family, and tonight I suddenly heard that someone in the Hu family was screaming, and I was afraid that someone would blame me for my selfish revenge when something happened to the Hu family, so I could only come over overnight to take a look."

"Sure enough, it's dead."

He sighed softly, as if sorry, as if annoyed,

"Speaking of which, I also blame me for being cowardly, if I had known that Lord Xu and Master Cui were coming, I wouldn't have done much, with the wisdom of the two, I wouldn't be like that ignorant villain, wronging me and harming the Hu family."

Cui Le: "......"

Xue Nuo also leaned on the railing as Shen Ke looked, and the person downstairs who listened to his words and mocked his words stiffened, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

This nerd isn't without a temper.

He looked so foolish before, but now he intimidated people and put everything in place, and he didn't wait for anyone to find an excuse to slander him, so he first told the words of others.

Cui Le only felt panicked by a heart attack, and seeing that he was surrounded by his people, the Shen family did not have a few extra guards.

He thought fiercely in his heart that he would take Shen but down first, and other things would be said later, so he heard the man upstairs say lightly:

"But Lord Cui, you are too late, and so is Lord Tao, since you have reported the matter of the black mine earlier, and you are suspicious of the Hu family, you should have talked to me as soon as possible, and I won't find something in the Hu family, and I thought that he was also mixed in."

Cui Le's eyelids jumped: "What did Lord Xiao Shen find?" ”

Shen said: "What else can it be, it's just some account books of smuggled salt." ”

Cui Le hurriedly said, "Where's the thing?" ”

After he finished speaking, he found that Shen was looking at him condescendingly, even from a distance, as if he was under scrutiny.

He hurriedly suppressed the urgency in his heart, slowed down his voice and said, "Lord Xiao Shen doesn't know, Master Xu and I came to Qizhen to smuggle salt for the Hu family's luck. ”

"In the past few years, there have been many big and small things in Cao Yun, and the bad luck of smuggling salt has also been repeatedly banned, and His Majesty has mentioned this matter several times, worrying that corruption will affect the livelihood of the people."

"If Lord Xiao Shen really finds the account book, it will be a great help to the imperial court, and I ask Lord Xiao Shen to give me the account book, so that I can find out this matter as soon as possible."

Shen listened to his righteous words, but he didn't answer him, but just asked, "What about Lord Xu?" He's here too? ”

Although Cui Le was in a hurry, he could only reply first: "It's here." ”

"Then let's go see Lord Xu first."

"Lord Xiao Shen!" Cui Le wanted to say something.

Shen said: "Master Xu is the superintendent of the imperial history, and there are some things that only he can decide." ”

"Anyway, someone else has already come, let's talk about the account book after I see him, I'll tell Master Cui once first, and I'll have to tell him again when I see Lord Xu when I see him."
