Didn't resist?

Xu Lizhen's expression was slightly paused, the old fox of the Shen family has always been unapologetic to him, and he is wary of him everywhere, and the kid of the Shen family is not far behind.

It was rare for him to take the initiative to come to see him.

Xu Lizhen thought that when Shen saw Cui Le going, he would find a way to run away after realizing that he was calculated.

"What about others?" Xu Lizhen asked.

"Outside."

"Let him in."

Cui Le looked at Xu Lizhen carefully, and when he saw that he didn't move, he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly turned around and walked out.

"Lord Xu."

Tao Ji didn't expect Cui Le to actually not do anything with Shen Ke, he originally thought that there would be a fierce battle tonight, and the relationship between Xu Lizhen and the Shen family would definitely not allow him to take the opportunity to attack Shen Ke, so he dared to sell Shen Ke, but now Cui Le brought people back with all his beard.

Tao Ji suddenly fidgeted: "Shen is here, why don't I go down first......"

"This is your county office, and the person who has an accident is also from your jurisdiction, where can you hide?" Xu Lizhen glanced at him.

"But Shen is there ......"

"What are you afraid of him doing?"

Xu Lizhen said lightly, "There is a matter of salt smuggling in your jurisdiction, and it is your duty for you to report it to me according to the law, what can he do with you?" ”

Tao Ji was speechless.

This is the reason, but the problem is that if he only reports according to the law, it will definitely be no problem, the key is that he deceived Shen Ke, he had been telling him that the Hu family's case had not been reported, and when he went to him during the day, he pretended to be panicked and deliberately mentioned the supervision of the imperial history two days later, and only came to take the opportunity to fool him two days later, and at night he followed Xu Lizhen to calculate Shen Ke.

If Shen was really planted in Xu Lizhen's hands, he would naturally not be afraid, and after the passage of time, the Shen family would not be able to help him if they wanted to ask for the guilt.

But now Shen is fine, fortunately he came to the county office.

Let him face the Shen family, how dare he?

Tao Ji felt weak in his heart, and opened his mouth to find an excuse to go out and hide first, so he didn't have to be a pawn, but Xu Lizhen looked at him quietly, and that look made him stiff and didn't dare to say a word, he could only hang his head and wait beside him.

When Cui Le and Shen came in with Shen and them outside, he subconsciously took half a step back when he met Shen Ke's sweeping eyes.

Shen glanced at Tao Ji, and when he saw that he didn't dare to look at him, he snorted coldly in his heart, and suddenly felt that Xue Nuo's previous scolding of Tao Ji for being a slippery king with oil was not wrong at all, he thought that this person was just a little timid and a little smooth, but he didn't expect that his ability to play on the wall grass was also first-class, and he was also pitted.

Xu Lizhen looked at Shen Ke and spoke gently: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and the demeanor of Changyuan's virtuous nephew is still the same." ”

"It's not as good as Lord Xu's temperament is better than before." Shen praised each other.

When Xu Lizhen looked at the person in front of him, he didn't look like he had an enmity with the Shen family at all, but it was like a neighbor's family catching up with him: "When I was in Beijing before, I often heard Your Majesty mention you, saying that you are a young talent and have the style of your grandfather, and that kid in my family often mentions you, but unfortunately I haven't had a chance to talk to you well." ”

"It's rare to meet now, come and sit."

Shen was not polite when he heard this, and after walking to the side and sitting down, he smiled and said: "My grandfather often mentions Lord Xu, saying that you are shrewd and wise, and you are Your Majesty's humerus. ”

Xu Lizhen raised his lips: "Really?" Then when I return to Beijing, I have to find a chance to visit Mr. Shen. ”

Shen suddenly laughed when he heard this: "Then my grandfather must be happy." ”

When the two exchanged pleasantries, no one saw a look of disgust, on the contrary, Xiao Yan Yan seemed to be a long-lost friend.

Xue Nuo stood a few steps in front of the door, quietly looking at the middle-aged man who was talking and laughing with Shen not far away, looking at his confident and wise face, looking at his full body, but in front of him appeared in front of him the appearance of following his mother with his head bowed and obediently many years ago.

"Arnold." Shen whispered.

Xue Nuo hurriedly followed, standing beside him, and the guards of the Shen family also followed him step by step.

When Xu Lizhen saw the young man standing behind Shen Ke before, his face showed surprise, what a beautiful child.

He paused on Xue Nuo's extraordinarily attractive peach blossom eyes, and before he could take a closer look, he saw that the kid suddenly glared at him, turned his head and hid behind Shen Qi, Xu Lizhen raised his eyebrows: "This is?" ”

"A relative's child." Shen said lightly.

Xu Lizhen said: "It's a sign child, it's just that I chatted with Shen Xian's nephew for a few words, why don't you let them go out first?" ”

"I'm going to follow Childe!" Xue Nuo stretched out his hand and hooked Shen Ke's sleeve, "Childe, I'm afraid!" ”

Shen saw that she was scared in her mouth, but her face was stiff, and he couldn't help but chuckle: "Forgive me, Lord Xu, Arnold is timid, I was afraid that I was scared in the Hu family just now, anyway, I just chatted a few words, they are all my own children, let him keep it." ”

"As for the others, they are all Shen family guards, even if they hear anything, they won't spread it."

Xu Lizhen frowned and looked at Shen Ke, sneering in his heart This Shen family kid is nothing more than that, this county government is full of Cui Le's people inside and out, if he really makes a move, even if there are several times more people, it is useless, leaving a few guards by his side can keep him safe?

Amusing!

Xu Lizhen's eyes crossed with ridicule, but he looked down on Shen a lot, and even his words became contemptuous: "I heard that you left Beijing to do things for the prince, and I thought I would meet you in Yangzhou, but I didn't expect you to come to this small place in Qizhen." ”

Shen smiled: "Previously, His Highness learned that Mr. Xie was unwell and wanted to visit, but due to his identity, it was inconvenient to leave Beijing, so he asked him to go on this trip. ”

"After meeting Mr. Xie, I originally planned to go to Yanling to see the disaster over there, but who wanted to pass through Qi Town but encountered the matter of the Hu family, so it was delayed."

Although Mr. Xie has no official position, he is a great Confucian in the world, and his status is extremely high among the literati.

Earlier, when he gave a lecture at the altar in Beijing, he had a friendship with the prince, and the court invited him to enter the court several times but was refused, he was unwell, and the prince ordered someone to come to visit, not to mention Xu Lizhen, even if it was the emperor, he couldn't find the slightest mistake.

As for investigating the disaster, it is also reasonable, and it is normal for the prince of the dynasty to care about the people's livelihood.

Shen said with a smile: "I didn't expect that this little Qi Town would make so many troubles, and it also alarmed Lord Xu, although we didn't meet in Yangzhou, we can also see Lord Xu in this small place in Qi Town, and it is really fate." ”

"I don't want this kind of fate."

Xu Lizhen said, "I was investigating the luck of smuggling salt elsewhere, and the clue pointed directly to Qizhen, which happened to be the case that Master Tao asked people to spread the news that it was Hu Furniture who opened a salt mine to hoard and transport smuggled salt. ”

"I didn't see anyone from the Hu family in a hurry, so you gave me such a big fright first."
