Chapter 28: Tulip Cartilage
An hour later, Mo Yuan looked around, but he didn't find the second Cui Jinbai at all, and even suspected that Shen Xihe was thinking too much.
At the feet of the Son of Heaven, who dares to pretend to be an official of the imperial court, or the Shaoqing of Dali Temple who is the fourth grade!
"County lord, my subordinates inquired clearly, today Cui Shaoqing went from his home to Dali Temple to order, and then he went straight to the post station." Mo Yuan replied cautiously, "According to the distance and time, Cui Shaoqing should have not been delayed all the way." ”
That is, it is impossible to be dropped halfway, and Cui Jinbai also brought two people from Dali Temple to follow all the way.
Unless they are dropped at home, who would dare to be so blatant?
Shen Xihe's face was calm when she heard this, as early as after Mo Yuan went to look for someone, she expected this result.
This man is by no means reckless, since he has come, he has made all preparations.
"Moyu." Shen Xihe shouted, Mo Yu walked in, and she asked, "He is still asking?" ”
"Yes." Mo Yu replied, "Purple jade, red jade, and jasper have all been summoned for questioning, and so have the maidservants. ”
"What did he ask?" Shen Xihe felt that she had guessed the purpose of this person pretending to be Cui Jinbai.
If he wants to inquire about her, then he will be disappointed.
Shen Xihe is no longer the original Shen Xihe.
"I asked Linglong how she serves the county lord on weekdays, how the county lord treats Linglong, and how much does Linglong know about the county lord......" Mo Yu recounted truthfully, including how she answered.
Sure enough, it seemed that they were all inquiring about Linglong, but in fact, every word did not leave her, and Biyu was alert enough but did not notice it.
Linglong is her personal big girl, and all of her participation is also due, this Shaoqing asked in a businesslike tone, and no one would think much about it.
At this time, he had already inquired about Shen Xihe's temperament from Shen Xi and the four maids by investigating Linglong's matter.
Shen Xihe's pupils that seemed to be covered with a light mist looked out of the house, and the golden yellow flowers, layer upon layer, bloomed around the tall Jinpine, she fell into deep thought.
Why did this man take such pains to inquire about her?
It is for the sake of the Bone Removal Pill that she should not do it now, let alone use such a method, and she will not give the Immortal Silk to her.
But except for the Bone Removal Pill, there is no intersection between them.
What exactly is his purpose?
"County Lord, Cui Shaoqing has resigned." Just as Shen Xihe was pondering this person's purpose, Hongyu rushed to report it.
"You go and invite Cui Shaoqing over, and you say that I have some doubts in my heart, and ask him to solve my doubts."
Shen Xihe instructed Hongyu, then asked Moyu to close the windows, changed a spice in the delicate incense burner, covered the incense burner and put it on the table, lifted the bead curtain and entered the inner room, sat on the soft couch, and leaned on the edge.
Cui Jinbai entered the inner room, and through the bead curtain, he saw Shen Xihe with one hand supporting his head, leaning on the bedpost a little weakly: "County Lord." ”
"You all stand down, I have something to say to Cui Shaoqing alone." Shen Xihe instructed Mo Yu and the others, and then covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and coughed a few times.
Cui Jin watched the people retreat, and even closed the door.
Just when he was suspicious, Shen Xihe said softly: "I am weak and do not stand through the wind, Cui Shaoqing forgive me." ”
There is no one in the entire Kyoto who does not know that Shen Xi and the weak can't help but be windy, this is all the sin created by King Kang's mansion.
"What does the county lord command, please speak up." Cui Jinbai spoke without humility or arrogance.
"Cui Shaoqing, please take a seat...... Titicaca......" Shen Xihe raised his finger and pointed to the round wooden table, covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and coughed for a while.
Seeing this, Cui Jinbai hugged his hand and saluted before sitting down at the table.
Sitting next to the incense burner, the incense burner was smoky, and an extremely light aroma slowly dispersed.
The fragrance is light and melodious, Cui Jinbai has never smelled it, and he took a deep breath without a trace.
"I have been with Linglong for many years and the master and servant ......"
Shen Xihe said some of the past with Linglong, his tone was full of memories and sadness, all of which were innocuous words, and he had to cough a few times when he said a few words, and he didn't know how long he babbled.
Cui Jinbai is very well cultivated, because Shen Xi and every sentence are not separated from Linglong, and he is here for Linglong's case, so he listens very patiently.
"Cui Shaoqing is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and he is in prison and sentenced in detail." The handkerchief in Shen Xihe's hand lightly covered his lips, and suddenly the words changed, "I want to ask Cui Shaoqing, if someone pretends to be an official of the imperial court, what should he be guilty of?" ”
Cui Jinbai raised his eyebrows lightly, and replied seriously: "Pretending to be an official of the imperial court, the sentencing depends on his behavior." If he imprisons an official for pretending to do no evil deeds, he will be punished with a rod or a prison sentence. If he kills an official and impersonates, he should be beheaded, regardless of whether he has committed evil deeds or not. ”
"What kind of Cui Shaoqing is?" Shen Xihe suddenly asked.
Cui Jinbai's face did not change: "The lower official does not know what the county lord said. ”
Shen Xihe got up slowly, his slender and soft fingers passed through the bead curtain, and the lotus step came in a hurry.
Today, she held a light purple light gauze shawl with a ruyi pattern outlined by silver silk on her arm, and dragged it around her shoulders; The off-white purple daylily long skirt is elegant and elegant, and the ring around the waist is gently swaying, and it is like dancing with the wind when walking.
Cui Shaoqing...... Do you feel dizzy? Her voice was clear and ethereal, like a jade stone colliding, pleasant and moving.
Cui Jinbai raised his head and looked at the inlaid beads in the center of her eyebrows.
The pearls are small but glossy and white, and they are noble and delicate on the red flowers, just like Shen Xi and this person.
Gradually, I felt that this little pearl had more ghosting.
He was weak, and he held on to the table with one hand, barely allowing himself to fall down.
Shen Xihe walked up to him, still covering his mouth and nose with a handkerchief soaked in medicine: "It seems that my tulip cartilage fragrance has a good effect." ”
The cartilage fragrance made with tulips as the main concoction was used by Shen Xihe for the first time.
Cui Jinbai turned his head to look at the white porcelain lotus incense burner of Xingyao next to him, which was still smoky and misty, and raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose.
"Caning, imprisonment, beheading." Shen Xihe's gaze fell on Cui Jinbai through the cigarette slowly wafting out, "Cui Shaoqing, do you think which one is suitable for you?" ”
"County Lord, you ......"
Shen Xihe didn't bother to pay attention to him: "Moyu! ”
At the moment when Shen Xihe spoke, before Mo Yu pushed the door in, Cui Jinbai suddenly jumped up, his figure flashed, and he pulled Shen Xihe into his arms with force.
"Let go of the county lord!" Mo Yu pushed the door and saw this scene, and the long sword in his hand was unsheathed and aimed at Cui Jinbai.
"Are you alright?" Shen Xihe didn't believe it.
People want to breathe, the aroma is irresistible in the heart, and this is not poison, even if someone does not invade and cannot escape!
"I thought the county lord would come and peel off my face himself." Cui Jinbai's voice changed, "It's okay to put on casual clothes and make the county lord happy...... I had the opportunity to kiss Fang Ze, but the county lord didn't give me this opportunity. ”
When it comes to the last sentence, he still regrets it.
