“？”

Ren Pingsheng looked at the familiar face in front of him, and he was confused.

Sanpin Daru said a word, and sent himself back to the north directly?

Turning his head to look, Xu Ruxian was also at a loss.

After a few seconds, he finally reacted, with a touch of embarrassment on his face, and spoke again: "I am with Ren Pingsheng, and I am in the Jingshi Ren Mansion. ”

The voice fell.

The feeling of dizziness strikes again.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Rongxue and Jiang Chuyue looking at him in surprise.

Wide-eyed stares for a moment.

Ren Pingsheng smiled, looked at Xu Ruxian, who was wearing a scarlet official robe beside him, and introduced: "This is Lord Xu of the Imperial History of Zuodu. ”

The Imperial History of the Left Capital?

Isn't that a three-grade Confucian!

Both of them were shocked in their hearts, and bowed: "I've seen Lord Xu." ”

Xu Ruxian said lightly: "No need to be polite. ”

Turning his head to look at Ren Pingsheng: "I don't know where the martial artist Ren Shizi said is?" ”

Ren Pingsheng said: "Just in the house, I will lead Lord Xu over." ”

With that, he walked to the courtyard where Scarface was being held.

Xu Ruxian followed.

Xiao Rongxue and Jiang Chuyue stood in place, watching their backs drift away from each other, with a look of surprise on their faces.

"I didn't expect that Ren Pingsheng (Shizi) would be able to invite a three-grade Confucian."

The other side.

Ren Pingsheng walked into the courtyard, looked at Li Yong who was guarding the door, and ordered, "Open the door." ”

"Yes!"

Li Yong answered and opened the door.

Ren Pingsheng looked at Xu Ruxian: "Lord Xu, that person is inside." ”

"Okay."

Xu Ruxian bowed slightly and walked in.

As soon as I entered the house, a pungent stench came to my face.

He frowned slightly, and when he looked down, he saw a shell that was not human.

Behind.

Ren Pingsheng said: "This person's bones are very hard, and he has to use some means to make him speak." ”

Xu Ruxian frowned and said in a deep voice: "The laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty clearly prohibit the use of lynching. ”

Hearing this, Ren Pingsheng's heart sank and he was silent.

Xu Ruxian didn't say anything more, looked at Scarface, his expression was serious, and asked in a deep voice: "Who is the mastermind behind Mu Ying's case?" ”

When the words fell, there was an invisible force, centered on him, and spread out like a wave.

In a flash.

A feeling welled up in Ren Pingsheng's heart, as if the saint was right in front of his eyes, staring at him with majestic eyes, as long as he lied, he would be punished unbearably.

This kind of psychological pressure is dozens or even hundreds of times stronger than facing teachers in elementary school.

What's even more terrifying.

The target of this force is Scarface, not himself.

He was sure that if Xu Ruxian was asking himself, no matter what question he asked, he would not hesitate to explain it.

"Transcendent monk, terrifying." Ren Pingsheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The other side.

Scarface, who faced this power, looked sincerely frightened, and slowly spoke: "Yes...... His Royal Highness the King of Jin. ”

His Royal Highness the King of Jin?!

Xu Ruxian's pupils shrank slightly.

Suppressing the surprise in his heart, he spoke again: "Where is Mu Ying's greedy silver tael?" ”

Scarface answered all questions: "Seventy percent is in Daxi Town, Yongning County, Jiazhou Prefecture, and thirty percent is kept by Lord Zhao." ”

"Who is Lord Zhao?"

"Jiangdong Buzheng Secretary, Zhao Ang Zhao."

Zhao Ang...... It turned out to be him!

At this moment, Xu Ruxian's heart was full of surprise and anger.

Before coming here, he didn't expect that Mu Ying's case would involve these two.

You must know that whether they are in the local area or in Beijing, their reputation is excellent.

The king of Jin is known as the king of the three sages, and often uses the silver of the palace to help the people, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation are also quite thrifty, and the people love them wherever they go.

Who would have thought that he would collude with the political envoy of Jiangdong Bu and instruct Mu Ying to embezzle as much as five million taels of silver!

Five million taels of silver...... This is all people's fat and people's ointment!

Painstakingly scavenging money and food from the hands of the people, and then giving away a small part of it, the people can admire and love it.

But the people did not know that the money and food that was given to them should have been theirs.

I'm afraid that some hard-working people still think that they can't eat enough when they die, just because they don't work hard enough.

When you think about it, it's ridiculous! Disgusting!

Xu Ruxian forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and continued to ask: "Where is the silver that King Jin is greedy for?" ”

Five million taels is not a small amount.

It is used to support soldiers, which is enough to raise an elite army that is out of production.

With so much money, if it is just to buy people's hearts and squander pleasures, it will not be in the way.

If it is used elsewhere, such as raising armies and cultivating killers...... That's trouble.

Scar's eyes showed a blank look: "I don't know...... I am only responsible for bringing the money to the designated place, and then someone else will take over it. ”

When Xu Ruxian heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he asked a few more questions.

For example, King Jin has been greedy for so many years, how much silver has he been greedy for?

For another example, King Jin did this because he had to compete for the position of crown prince? Do you have the intention of rebelling against usurpation?

Scarface's answer was that he didn't know.

There is no doubt that although he is trusted by the King of Jin, he has no access to higher-level information except for the silver that comes from the greedy ink.

Xu Ruxian saw that he couldn't ask anything, so he stopped and looked at Ren Pingsheng: "This person is taken away by the official, and he will meet the saint in person, and I hope that the prince will not stop him." ”

Ren Pingsheng hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "This person has done a lot of evil, and he should be judged by the Three Law Divisions, but there is one thing that I still ask Lord Xu for help." ”

Xu Ruxian wanted to refuse, but when he thought of today's events, he was a little hesitant.

After a few seconds of silence, there was no answer, but there was no refusal.

He wants to hear what this prince of Zhenbei wants him to do, if it doesn't matter, it's okay to push the boat down the river.

Seeing that he didn't refuse, Ren Pingsheng said: "I don't want to be too involved in this matter, after Lord Xu takes him away, can you not mention Ren's Mansion?" ”

Xu Ruxian thought for a moment and bowed slightly: "Okay." ”

"There's one more thing."

Ren Pingsheng glanced at Scarface, and a light burst out in his eyes: "Can Lord Xu ask this person a question." ”

"What's the problem?"

"When the prince of Zhenbei and Princess Yunhe were assassinated on the bank of the Cailian River, the mastermind behind the scenes was not the king of Jin."

The voice fell.

Xu Ruxian's pupils shrank again.

The prince of Zhenbei asked himself to ask this question, and he must have doubts about the king of Jin.

If this is true, then the king of Jin is not only a traitor, but also a wolf, and his ambition is simply mad and vicious.

In the capital of the country, he attacked his own imperial sister...... In 100 years, there has not been such an appalling thing!

"Okay."

Xu Ruxian suppressed the tumbling emotions in his heart, turned his head to look at Scarface, used his righteous qi, and asked: "When the prince of Zhenbei and Princess Yunhe were assassinated on the bank of the Cailian River, was the mastermind behind the scenes the King of Jin. ”

The voice fell, and the room fell silent.

A few breaths later.

Scarface slowly spat out a word, "Yes." ”

It turned out to be the king of Jin!

Xu Ruxian's face showed anger and reprimanded angrily: "Such well-dressed beasts are also worthy of being the prince of my Great Zhou, and they are also respected by the people as the virtuous king, which is really ridiculous!" ”

Side.

Ren Pingsheng had expected it in his heart, and he was not surprised, and asked in a deep voice: "Why did King Jin assassinate me and His Highness Yunhe?" ”

Scarface was silent.

Xu Ruxian forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at him, and repeated Ren Pingsheng's question.

Then he said, "I don't know. ”

When Ren Pingsheng heard this, he fell silent.

At this time, Xu Ruxian's voice came from his ears.

"Please hand over this thief to the official, and the official will take him to the palace to meet the saint and impeach the king of Jin with a human face and a beast's heart!"

Having already gotten the information he wants, it's useless to keep him.

Ren Pingsheng said: "Lord Xu, please do it." ”

"Farewell."

Xu Ruxian stretched out his hand to hold Scarface's head, and said loudly: "I and this person are located outside the palace gate. ”

The voice fell.

Xu Ruxian and Scarface disappeared at the same time.

The eyes were empty, and at a certain moment, Ren Pingsheng even had the illusion that the two of them had never been.

"Say what you say, it's really powerful...... I just don't know what the restrictions are. ”

Ren Pingsheng thought so and walked out of the small black room.

As soon as he went out, he saw Xiao Rongxue looking at him with curious eyes: "How is it?" ”

"Everything that should be explained has been explained, Lord Xu has already taken him to meet the emperor, but I don't know how the emperor will deal with this matter."

Hearing this, Xiao Rongxue's face showed excitement: "Xu Ruxian has always been known for his strength and integrity, and this matter is known to him, even if the emperor wants to protect it, the king of Jin will have to pay the price, and if he doesn't die, he will have to shed his skin." ”

"If it's just a peeling skin, it's too cheap for him."

Ren Pingsheng thought so in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.

Since it had been confirmed that the mastermind behind the assassins was King Jin, he had made up his mind to find an opportunity to kill King Jin.

King Jin is not dead, and his heart is uneasy.

"What are we going to do now?" Xiao Rongxue looked at Ren Pingsheng and asked.

"Wait."

Ren Pingsheng said: "Look at how the emperor deals with King Jin, if he is severely punished, just wait and see, if he fools ...... things."

Speaking of which, it came to an abrupt end.

Xiao Rongxue understood what he meant, it was nothing more than that he was doing something to King Jin, hesitated for a moment, and said, "King Jin is not as easy to deal with as you think." ”

"I know what I know."

"That's good."

Ren Pingsheng has always been very measured, Xiao Rongxue is still at ease with him, nodded slightly, didn't say more, and turned to another thing: "During the time you left, someone sent you an invitation, saying that you were invited to participate in the Qixi Festival. ”

As he spoke, he took out an invitation from his bosom and handed it to him.

Tanabata Meeting?

How many days will it be Tanabata?

Ren Pingsheng's eyes showed a touch of trance, he reached out to take the invitation, opened it, and looked at it.

Wenhui is the largest restaurant in Beijing - Yirenju initiated, only talented scholars will be invited, the main activity is to drink and write poems.

Every year, a number of masterpieces will emerge from the Qixi Festival, Lantern Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival organized by Yi Habitat.

Therefore, readers who are keen on poetry are proud to be able to participate in these three literary conferences.

I don't plan to cultivate Confucianism and Taoism, and if I go, I will rely on being a copyist to appear before the public, which will not help me improve my strength in the slightest, so it is better to stay in the house and practice for a while.

This was Ren Pingsheng's first reaction.

But, on second thought.

The Qixi Cultural Conference gathered the most talented scholars in the entire Beijing and even the entire Great Zhou.

Isn't it just suitable to find a partner for the literary girl Mu Rou?

"When the time comes, I will take Mu Rou to attend the cultural meeting, maybe I will be able to meet the right eye."

Thinking of this, Ren Pingsheng no longer hesitated and put the invitation in his arms.

Xiao Rongxue saw him accept the invitation and said, "That person said, Qixi Festival, the invited person can bring friends of the opposite sex to go with him, who are you going to bring with him?" ”

Ren Pingsheng thought for a few seconds and asked curiously, "How many can you bring?" ”

Xiao Rongxue was slightly stunned, then her face became cold, and she said coldly: "How many are you going to bring?" ”

Ren Pingsheng replied: "You can bring a few and bring a few." ”

“……”

Xiao Rongxue glanced at him, fell silent, and suddenly said after a while: "I haven't discussed for a long time, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, just now." ”

Looking at Xiao Nuxia with a cold face, Ren Pingsheng felt a chill all over his body, and suddenly regretted teasing her.

"Can you not fight?"

"No, look at the move!"

Xiao Rongxue didn't give him a chance to react at all, raised her long legs, and kicked it.

Ren Pingsheng's eyes froze, and he stretched out his arms to block his chest.

Bang!

There was a muffled sound.

Ren Pingsheng felt like a hammer in his chest, and couldn't help but take a step back.

"This power...... It is by no means something that can be achieved by six products. ”

He raised his eyes to look at Xiao Rongxue, with a look of surprise on his face, and blurted out: "Have you recovered the fifth grade?" ”

Xiao Rongxue looked light-hearted, and sneered: "How can I have a good time with you?" ”

With Ren Pingsheng's strength, seven products against six products is easy.

There are only five products, which can put pressure on him.

Ren Pingsheng sneered: "It's already fun, why don't you end here?" ”

"You're having fun, I'm not enough, come again!"

When the words fell, Xiao Rongxue's figure flashed, appeared in front of him, raised her slender and straight legs, and kicked out again.

Between the lightning and flint, Ren Pingsheng relied on his instinct to reach out to block.

Almost at the same time.

Xiao Rongxue suddenly changed her movements, from the original forward kick to a side kick, aimed at his kidneys!

If this kick is hit, I am afraid that I will have to cultivate for half a year.

"Damn! Really?! ”

Ren Pingsheng's heart tightened, and he twisted his waist to dodge.

The sound of breaking wind sounded in my ears.

The tip of the foot grabs the corner of the clothes, and it is only a fraction of a millimeter away, and you can kick it!

"If I don't teach you a lesson, I'm really a bully!"

As soon as he thought of this, Ren Pingsheng mobilized the aura of his whole body, and with lightning speed, he clamped her calf with his arm.

"What a speed!"

Xiao Rongxue's pupils shrank, and her leg muscles strained slightly, wanting to retract her legs.

In the next second, something unexpected happened to her.

Ren Pingsheng's arm clamped her calf like an iron tong, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pull out a single bit.

"He is a seven-rank, how can he have so much strength!"

Xiao Rongxue couldn't break free after trying several times in a row, and she was even more shocked in her heart.

"Is that enough, do you want more?"

Ren Pingsheng looked at her directly, and his tone was frivolous.

"Damn!"

Xiao Rongxue showed a trace of shame on her face, gritted her teeth and said, "Let go!" ”

Ren Pingsheng raised his eyebrows: "Xiao Nuxia doesn't have to let me, just have fun." ”

As he spoke, the arm that grabbed her calf suddenly let go, and then reached out and grabbed her ankle, and pulled it back violently.

Xiao Rongxue's body fell towards him uncontrollably.

"You...... Look for death! ”

Being teased like this, Xiao Nuxia became more and more embarrassed, her pretty face was flushed, her silver teeth were clenched, and she no longer spared the slightest hand, mobilizing the aura of her whole body.

The whole person regained his balance in mid-air in a posture that did not conform to the laws of physics.

Immediately afterwards, he threw a punch with all his strength and smashed it on Ren Pingsheng's chest.

A sharp pain struck, and Ren Pingsheng staggered back two steps.

"Cool!"

This punch, as if it had smashed on a sensitive point, completely stimulated his fighting spirit and blood, and let out a loud shout: "Come again!" ”

As he spoke, he pounced like a tiger.

The speed is so fast that even Xiao Rongxue, who is a fifth grade, can only see the afterimage.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

After a fierce battle.

This competition ended with Xiao Rongxue narrowly winning.

Both of them were exhausted and fell to the ground, their clothes soaked with sweat.

"He is only the seventh grade, he has such strength, and when he reaches the fifth grade, isn't he invincible under the extraordinary?"

Xiao Rongxue lay on the ground, gasping for a few breaths, thinking back to the fierce battle just now, her little heart was pounding.

Side.

Ren Pingsheng was beaten a lot, his mind was blank, he just wanted to rest for a while, and closed his eyes.

The warm sunlight spilled down through the dense foliage, turning it into a golden spot.

A gentle breeze blows and calms people down.

Xiao Rongxue was lying on Ren Pingsheng's side, looking at the clear blue sky, and her heart was extremely peaceful.

At this moment, she suddenly wished that time would stand still forever.

The branches swayed slightly, making a salsa sound.

Xiao Rongxue suddenly spoke: "I think that with your current strength, if you want to go further, you must go through more actual combat training." ”

“……”

Ren Pingsheng didn't hear what she said at all, his eyes were closed, and his consciousness gradually blurred.

Time passes.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Xiao Rongxue pursed her lips and spoke again: "For martial artists, walking the rivers and lakes, looking for opponents with similar strength, and competing with them is the fastest way to improve their strength. ”

“……”

Still no response.

Xiao Rongxue took a deep breath, made up her mind, and asked tentatively, "Why don't you ...... When I solve five cases, will I take you to the rivers and lakes to experience the experience? ”

After speaking, my heart suddenly became worried.

Men and women walking together have a lot of inconveniences, and they also send out invitations, which always feel like they are plotting against him.

And.

There are still wives to take care of, and I invite him to go to the rivers and lakes to experience, no matter how you look at it, it is a bit of a kidnapping of good women and men.

That's it.

She felt her face burn for a while, and hurriedly changed her words: "I'll just say it casually, don't take it to heart." ”

The voice fell, and there was still no response.

"Are you listening?"

Xiao Rongxue saw that he had been pretending to be dead, and suddenly felt a little annoyed in her heart, and when she turned her head to look, she saw Ren Pingsheng's eyes closed, his chest rising and falling slightly, and his breathing was steady.

"Purr...... Purr ......"

Is this asleep?

Xiao Rongxue looked at his handsome side face, and her heart was mixed.

Retracted his gaze, looked at the sky, for a long time, and let out a long sigh.

…………

Following.

In the early morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Mu Rou opened her eyes, propped herself up, and leaned on the bed.

Not for a while.

The door slowly pushed open.

Qiu'er walked in: "Miss, the slave is waiting for you to change your clothes." ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward, lifted the corner of the quilt, reached out to hold the pair of white and small jade feet, and put on white socks with gentle movements.

A moment later.

Under Qiu'er's service, Mu Rou dressed neatly, sat down at the desk, picked up the brush, and began to add annotations to the "Yin and Yang Liangyi Heart Sutra".

Look at the various postures described in the exercises.

She couldn't help but think of the picture in her mind, and felt uncomfortable for a while, but she still endured the discomfort and continued to write.

Qiu'er stood aside and watched quietly.

In the blink of an eye, it was already an hour later.

Mu Rou had already finished annotating the first chapter, put down the pen, turned to the first page and began to check if there were any mistakes.

The look is focused and serious.

Another hour.

When she saw the last sentence, she was sure that there was no problem, put down the exercises, and her eyes showed a trace of trance.

Now, I have finished adding annotations to the first chapter of the Yin and Yang Heart Sutra.

But I don't know where Ren Shizi has been.

"Uncle's primordial spirit has dissipated, and no abnormalities have been found in the house, so it is extremely difficult to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.

If you can't find out the mastermind behind it, it's impossible to recover the money...... He alone is afraid that he will not be able to save his aunt and aunt.

If it really doesn't work, I can only write to the master for help, but ...... Will the emperor give face to the master? ”

At this thought, Mu Rou's eyes dimmed a little.

Just then, a familiar voice came from outside the door.

"Miss Mu is awake?"

Mu Rou replied softly: "Ren Gongzi, please come in." ”

The voice fell.

The door was pushed open.

Ren Pingsheng walked into the room, looked at the little Heavenly Master sitting at the table, and smiled gently: "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life." ”

When Mu Rou heard this, she was slightly stunned, and then realized something, and asked in disbelief: "What does Ren Gongzi mean......"

"Your Majesty has decreed that there is another mastermind in Mu Ying's case, and his relatives will not be jointly seated and will be released immediately."

These were the eunuch's exact words, and as for who the mastermind was and how to deal with it, he didn't say anything.

Ren Pingsheng planned to report the good news to Mu Rou first, and then inquire about the specific news.

Mu Rou didn't expect that in just a few days, Ren Pingsheng really completed something that seemed almost impossible to her to do.

The pale little face showed a little ruddy, and his heart was excited, he stood up, bowed uprightly, and said sincerely: "Mu Rou thanks Ren Gongzi, if it weren't for Ren Gongzi, the aunt and aunt would only be afraid of more than lucky." ”

Ren Pingsheng waved his hand: "It's just a matter of raising your hands." ”

He said it with ease, as if it was really easy to do.

Mu Rou knew in her heart that Ren Gongzi must have paid a lot of energy and price in order to rescue his aunt and sister.

I am grateful, but I don't know how to express it.

This time.

Ren Pingsheng suddenly spoke: "By the way, in a few days of the Qixi Festival, I don't know if Miss Mu has time, and I want to ask Miss Mu for help." ”

Tanabata Festival.

Help.

Could it be...... Double Major?

As soon as she thought of this, Mu Rouliu's eyebrows frowned slightly, wanting to refuse, but she couldn't open her mouth for a while.

After all, no matter what, Ren Pingsheng had just done her a big favor.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that Yirenju held a Qixi Festival, I want to invite Miss Mu to participate in it, and help me compose a poem when the time comes."

Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "Of course, if Miss Mu feels embarrassed, then give up. ”

Qixi Literary Society, help compose poems...... Is that all there is to it?

Mu Rou didn't believe it in her heart, but after hesitating for a few seconds, she still agreed: "Just follow what Ren Gongzi said." ”

(End of chapter)
