It was still dark, the defenders under the Zhengyang Gate had just opened the city gate with a yawn, and the hundred officials who had risen to the court in the morning had just left from the house, and a carriage drove out of the Zhengyang Gate in a hurry.

When he arrived at the gate of the Patrol West City Courtyard, a man in a green robe hurried down without waiting for the carriage to stop.

As soon as the two people guarding the gate of the procuratorate saw him, they hurriedly saluted:

"Great, great!"

The person who came strode into the courtyard without saying a word, and dozens of jailers and officials were tied to the ground, and he didn't even look at them, but strode into the main hall.

In the main hall, Yu Simei was looking at the testimony that came out of the overnight trial, and when she saw him coming, she quickly stood up:

"Boss Fang."

"Smack!" Fang Qien raised his hand and slapped Yu Simei heavily in the face.

"That's how you did the errand the emperor ordered?"

The corners of Yu Simei's mouth were knocked out of blood, he didn't even dare to cover his face, bent over and whispered, "It's a slave, I have the emperor's grace."

Fang Qien hurriedly followed a few eunuchs who were also wearing cloth clothes to come in, and when he saw this scene, he didn't dare to breathe.

With the hand behind his back, Fang Qien glanced at them, and then looked at Yu Simei:

"Since you can't even do such things, you don't have to do it, go back to the palace and receive the punishment!"

Yu Simei hurriedly knelt down:

"Boss Fang, I messed up my errand, and I knew that I deserved to die for a crime, so I just wanted to let me dispose of people with my own hands, and it also allowed me to give an explanation to the emperor."

He spoke earnestly, his head slammed on the cold stone slab, Fang Qien glanced at him, and then at the few eunuchs behind him.

The eunuchs picked up the hemp rope shackles in their hands and took a few steps forward:

"Grandpa Four Rats, don't blame Grandpa Yiji for being ruthless, if you don't want to go to court, the emperor will have to leave the palace in person."

Of course, Yu Simei knew that Fang Qien was for her own good, and what they were asking for as slaves and maids was meritorious fame, but it was just the master's pity, the master's pity for you, your merit was also meritorious, the master did not pity you, and there was a lot of merit.

Fang Qien gave him an ear scraper again, and asked him to take the flail back to the palace, but he begged for the emperor's mercy for him.

Yu Simei was tied up and taken away, and Fang Qien asked his men who were trembling:

"Where is Mrs. Shen now? But have you already returned to Shen's house? Did you send someone with you? Last night, I sent a message saying that Shen Niangzi was injured, did you ask a doctor? Take my post to the Imperial Doctor."

I saw that Fanzi bowed down and said, "Shen Niangzi is still resting in the duty room behind the procuratorate, and she said that if the case is not closed, she will not leave here. As for the injuries on Shen Niangzi's body, after the maid beside her saw it, she refused to let the lowly post find a doctor anymore."

Hearing this, Fang Qien hurriedly walked to the back hall, and as soon as he walked in through the round door, he saw two people standing and talking under an east wall.

Faintly hearing the cry, he immediately stopped.

"Miss Tunan, it's all my fault...... If I hadn't come home last night, I wouldn't have made such a fuss!"

The man was not low, but he spoke timidly, and there was a cry in his throat.

The woman standing opposite him was holding a sword in her arms, her hair was combed very neatly behind her head, and she was wearing only a sleeve jacket, and when she spoke, the white breath was permeated in the air, making people think that her face was covered with frost and snow at first glance.

"Master Qian doesn't have to be like this, since those people have already premeditated, they naturally want to sweep away all obstacles, and you are just one more fold in if you are defenseless."

Fang Qien, who was separated by a wall, couldn't help but raise his head and held back his smile.

Hearing this "comfort", Qian Xiaowu became more and more depressed, and his crying became more and more uncontrollable:

"I've been taken care of by Mrs. Shen and the girl many times, but I haven't been of any use, I'm really ashamed."

Tu Nan works hard in the kitchen all day long, not only her fingers are thick, but even her face is not as fair as Ah Chi's, and her facial features can only be said to be slightly beautiful, but she has always looked gentle and amiable, as if she was a glass of water on the tepid table

The thin waist is like another bamboo on the edge of the bamboo bush.

"Master Qian is polite, you have always been a great help to our wife in prison, and our wife also knows it."

Qian Xiaowu himself knew that if Mrs. Shen hadn't specifically ordered him, he would have been tied up and tortured like those people in the outer courtyard now.

Glancing at Tu Nan's clear eyebrows, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Tu Nan.

"Master Qian, our lady is going to eat when she wakes up, I'll go to the kitchen first, now there are most of our Shen family's daughters in this backyard, and it's inconvenient for you to come and go, just call me at the round gate if you have something in the future."

"Okay, I'll just stand guard at the side door, and the girl will just tell me if she has something."

Seeing the young man in the jailer's clothes leave dejectedly, Fang Qien stepped forward with his feet raised.

"Miss Tunan, Mrs. Shen is fine."

Tu Nan raised his eyes slightly and looked at him: "My lord, you people from the West Factory have been guarding outside, how can you not even know what my wife's body is? Or is it just listening to the corners that you adults know best?"

was stabbed like this, Fang Qien was not annoyed, he smiled:

"It was our negligence that put Mrs. Shen in danger, and I came here to ask Mrs. Shen for guilt."

After speaking, he bowed deeply to Tu Nan:

"Miss Tunan is tired."

Tu Nan spun around and avoided to the side.

She tilted her head to look at the extraordinarily handsome man, her brow furrowed slightly.

At this time, a maid wearing a cyan cotton bikini hurriedly ran over:

"Tunan, the girl is awake."

Fang Qien didn't say much, just followed behind the two of them, and saw that one of the two maids entered the side room and the other went to the kitchen, and he also stood still in front of the door of the side room.

As soon as Zhao Surui opened his eyes, his face wrinkled.

It hurts, it hurts all over my body, and it seems that the fall last night was really not light.

The burns on his hands had been smeared with medicine, and he sat up in a daze, and saw Ah Chi walking to the window with a hot water basin:

"Girl, are you awake?"

"When?"

"Three quarters of the hour, you've just slept for an hour."

"Shhhh Who's in charge of the affairs of the house?"

"Tu Nan handed it over to the green warbler."

Green warbler? It's a personal choice.

Xia He felt ashamed in his heart, respected her and feared her, and Liu Tianxing also listened to her assignment.

Leaning on the head of the bed, Zhao Surui thought in his heart for a moment, and barely had some energy, Ah Chi wiped his face with a handkerchief, he was impatient Ah Chi was light-handed, so he directly took it and wiped it twice.

"Where's Tunan?"

"Tu Nan brought you food, the meals were all made by her, and Tong Wu has been guarding the kitchen."

"Where's Shi Xinmei?"

"In the room over there, Tu Nan has a few neat little maids guarding it."

"After I go to sleep, will the people in the West Factory ask her again?"

"No ......"

Seeing that the door curtain was opened, Tu Nan came in with a food box, and Zhao Surui just wanted to say that he had no appetite, but he smelled a faint aroma.

He's really hungry.

"Girl, I've wrapped some wontons, you can eat some first."

"Oh."

Picking up the spoon of fine white porcelain and eating two wontons, Zhao Surui raised his head and looked at the two maids again.

A lamp had just been lit in the room by Ah Chi, and the warm light was pale on the faces of the two maids.

"You two haven't slept all night, have you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ah Chi covering his eyes with a handkerchief:

"Girl, you...... If you have three long and two short, we don't know how to say hello to the old lady when we get to Jiuquanxia! Ah Chi, please take care of yourself!"

Zhao Surui sneered:

"A few little jailers who are complicit, how can they hurt me?"

Ah Chi saw that his girl had no regrets, and he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart:

"Girl......

Zhao Surui drank two bowls of wonton soup, and looked at Tu Nan again:

"I asked you to check on Sun Daqi's former comrades whom Shi Xinmei had seen, what did you ask about?"

Tu Nan lowered his head:

"Girl, the two people Shi Xinmei has seen, one surnamed Shi and the other surnamed Zhou, are both small flags in the left sentry camp, Shi Xinmei said that there is nothing new about those two, and now both of them are in the camp now, and I don't know what happened."

"When she saw those two people, she was so frightened that Wu Chongmin wanted to kill her, and she had to turn around and do something......

Outside the house, the little maid hurriedly passed by with a lamp and shone a long shadow on the window.

Zhao Surui narrowed his eyes: "Who is outside?"

Tu Nan followed "her" gaze and looked over: "It's Shen Langjun's subordinate, I once met him in Xinghualou, and Shen Langjun sent him to see the girl."

Zhao Surui raised his eyebrows: "Let him in."

Ah Chi saw that his girl was about to see someone without grooming, and he wanted to stop him, but Tu Nan had already gone to call someone.

"Pray for grace below, I've seen Shen Niangzi."

Hearing that a chicken called itself by its original name, Zhao Surui was stunned for a moment, and then hooked his lips and smiled:

"Fourth Sister Yu, Fang Qien, is she the one who made you call yourself like this outside? Tsk."

Several generations of eunuchs in the Dayong Dynasty were in turmoil, and Zhao Surui didn't want to serve around him to learn Zhang Wan, Wang Gui and others, so he simply took away their names, and only called them with words like chickens, dogs, and animals, but he didn't expect Shen Sanru to return his name to them like this.

His "tsk" sound was the kindness of the woman who laughed at Shen San's waste.

Lowering his head, he continued to pull the small wontons in the bowl, and the sturdy little meatballs were hidden in the wontons, and he took one bite at a time.

"The two small banners of the left sentry camp, one surnamed Shi and the other surnamed Zhou, are both on errands under Wu Chongmin of Qianhu, do you know what is special about those two people?"

Fang Qien didn't expect Shen Niangzi to call herself in so skillfully, her hands were clasped in front of her, he bowed down and said:

"Side, I don't know below, if it's surnamed Shi, it's probably Shi Lu Youshi Xiaoqi, the nephew of the former right capital Yushi Shi Wence."

Shi Wence's nephew? Thinking that Shen Sanyu sent someone to let Chu Jiyuan return to the dynasty, Zhao Surui was stunned.

"Chu Jiyuan came back from the southwest, where did he go?"

"Lord Chu returned to Beijing from Yungui, the journey was difficult, he was about to go out of Hubei and into Henan, and when he heard the news of Mrs. Yao's death, Lord Chu stopped for two days, and he wanted to pay tribute to his wife before he could go to Beijing, but the emperor ordered him, he could only let his son go back to his hometown in Jiangxi first, and Lord Chu continued to go north with Lord Shi, thinking that he would be able to arrive in Yanjing in six or seven days."

"Mrs. Yao?" Who?

Zhao Surui raised his head and first saw the sad look on the faces of the two maids.

The white porcelain spoon stirred in the wonton bowl, and Zhao Surui asked Fang Qien directly:

"You...... Did that man go to worship?"

This is a very interesting question, as if this Shen lady is sure that the emperor will go to worship.

Fang Qien wrote down this matter in his heart, and said slowly, "My master personally dictated the sacrifice."

Since the establishment of the Dayong Dynasty, the holy decrees have to be copied and backed up, and Fang Qien, as the chief eunuch of the master of ceremonies, naturally has to look at the holy decrees one by one, and when he saw the unprecedented decree, Fang Qien was shocked in his heart, and he almost dried up his brains and couldn't think of any great merits that the Yao family had.

I didn't expect Shen Niangzi to know some clues here.

Sitting on the bed and looking at the wontons in his hand, Zhao Surui suddenly lost interest.

He even told Shen Sanqu what he ate and drank, then Shen Sanqu, since she was familiar with the deceased, why should she discuss it with him, and ask him to take time out of his busy schedule to worship, right?

Hum!

He didn't bother to use the spoon again, so he directly picked up the bowl and ate the wonton with the soup.

"Stone

Ask Ce to resign to accompany Chu Jiyuan, and now that Chu Jiyuan has returned to the dynasty, he will also come back. He has always been a dead brain, and he would rather die than let go of the case he caught, Wu Chongmin was afraid that Shi Xinmei would take Shi Wence from Shi Luyou, so he used such a tortuous killing method."

After speaking, Zhao Surui narrowed his eyes.

"Trying to cover it up like this, it seems that Wu Chongmin's crime is really not small."

He looked at Tu Nan: "According to what I said before, let Shi Xinmei write a statement first, and tell her that the battle on the day Chu Jiyuan entered Beijing must be not small, and since he is the imperial history of the right capital, he has the right to supervise, and let Shi Xinmei go to the street to complain."

Tu Nan answered, and he looked at a chicken again.

"I wanted to deal with this matter myself, but seeing that there are so many involved, there is no reason not to let you move. Yesterday, there was such a big battle in the procuratorate here, Wu Chongmin will definitely get the news, I have already asked people to carry the corpse out and pretend to be the one who wanted to kill me last night, Wu Chongmin may not believe it all, find a way to find something for him, so that he can't move the best, you keep an eye on it...... Doing things like this, I really don't know how to do it in my heart, it's just like this, I want to see how Chu Jiyuan will deal with this Wu Chongmin at that time, if he can't deal with it, I will dispose of him together."

If he was in his body now, Wu Chongmin would have been tortured by now, signed and decapitated, and the full set of beheadings would have ended.

Thinking like this, Zhao Surui felt bored for a while in his heart, looked at Tu Nan, and then looked at Fang Qien, he suddenly leaned his body back, his muscles and muscles were involved, and he grinned in pain.

"Tu Nan, you wait and ask me if there is any ointment, you put this on me that was hot at the time, and now it has no effect."

"Yes, girl."

Tu Nan's eyes saw the wound on the hand of the "own girl", and she subconsciously clenched the sword in her hand.

When he came out of the Patrol West City Courtyard, Fang Qien suddenly saw Tu Nan's figure disappearing into the corner of the street.

He thought for a moment, retracted his foot to get into the carriage, and hurriedly followed.

followed Tu Nan all the way back to Shen's house, Fang Qien watched her walk in through the back door, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart that he was too careful.

When he turned to leave, after a while, a porter dressed as a man came out of the Shen house.

——

"Since he has commanded it, you will do it." Shen Shiqing finished listening to Yiji's relay, put down the red pen in his hand, picked up a few folds in his hand and handed them to Gao Wanxin, "I asked the four rats to memorize the forty court staffs, and next time, there will be no need to keep his pen position."

"The slave and maid thank the emperor for the four rats, the emperor, staring at Wu Chongmin, the slave and maid want to take people to watch in person."

"You're staring at it yourself?"

Shen Shiqing raised his eyes and looked at the chicken standing below.

After a while, she nodded: "Okay, you can also take a look around the capital, don't forget to bring some food for the three cats when you go back to the palace, the three of you have been in the palace recently, only I listen to him making trouble."

This means that he is still close to the eunuchs, and Yiji hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

However, the moment he stood up, he remembered another voice.

Shen Niangzi's tone of voice is really similar to that of the emperor in the past.

Yiji's movements were fast, he wanted to make trouble for Wu Chongmin, and that night, Wu Chongmin's eldest son was locked up for fighting and making trouble.

Wu Chongmin was still in the camp, and the housekeeper of the Wu family entered the barracks to look for him, but he met the deputy general of the left sentry battalion patrolling the camp.

Early the next morning, Wu Chongmin came out of the barracks and hurried home.

"With six personal guards, he is a thousand households, and the battle is not small, I'm afraid he didn't do something wrong."

Hearing a few whispers, Fang Qien held the copper pipe clairvoyant, and saw Wu Chongmin riding a horse through the forest with people, just about to pass by a woodcutter who got up early to sell firewood.

The next moment, blood gushed out.

I saw that the woodcutter actually pulled out two knives from his burden, pulled himself out and turned over on the horse, and a short knife stabbed directly into Wu Chongmin's right shoulder.

The clairvoyance of the brass pipe is not very clear, whether it is blood, the facial features of the perpetrator

It's hard to see clearly, but Fang Qien was taken aback.

Of course, it wasn't because he couldn't see blood, before the four rats entered the palace, he killed a lot of people.

He was frightened because of the wounding assassin, and he had guessed who it was.

Whipping his horse, Fang Qien rode out of the fork in the road, and after the assassin took the horse and fled, he let someone else stop Wu Chongmin's entourage, and he hurriedly followed. :

His horse is a forbidden good horse, although it is not as good as a royal horse, it is still much better than an ordinary military horse.

He pursued the man for about a moment, and the man's horse finally slowed down.

Fang Qi'en rode his horse closer and saw that the back of the "assassin" was already soaked in blood.

"Miss Tunan! You're hurt."

He hurriedly dismounted and wanted to help Tu Nan off the horse, but his neck suddenly felt cold.

The knife was still stained with blood and stuck to his white porcelain-like neck.

The woman with blood and mud on her face sat on her horse and looked down at him.

Looking at each other, the ordinary Shen family's maid Tu Nan smiled suddenly:

"Thank you, Lord Fang, for sending the horse."

Fang Qien: "......"
