Outer courtyard hall.

Old Mrs. Shen changed into a dark red brocade robe, and the forehead on her head was also crocheted with gold threads, sat on the top, slowly twisted the Buddha beads in her hand, and said with a smile: "Lord Li of the Case Department of the Zhizhou Mansion suddenly came to visit, and my old woman doesn't know how to entertain her. ”

Master Li said: "How come, I should have come to visit Shen Xiaohou yesterday, after all, it was Shen Xiaohou who saved me the night before, and there are a few adults from the Zhizhou Mansion, we are very grateful, and we sent people from the house to visit yesterday, but I heard that the people who came back said that Mrs. Shen was not allowed to enter, and said that unless it was the master's family, I came here in person today." ”

Old Mrs. Shen frowned, raised her eyes to look at Ye Lingwu without a trace, and hooked the corners of her mouth: "Yes, many things have happened these days, my wife and son are also distressed about their grandson's body, this is almost Chinese New Year's Eve, but something must not affect the mood." ”

Master Li nodded in agreement and said, "Then according to Old Lady Shen's meaning, Hou Ye's body is Chinese New Year's Eve. That is, in eight days, you will be fully recovered? “

Old Mrs. Shen said: "The old doctor's medical skills are very good, but the injuries on my grandson's body are really not light, even if I want to stay again, it is a little difficult, but this is also good, I can't stay and save the boat, I can also take care of the injury, what is the matter, there are Captain Qin and General Yue Yang in the mansion." ”

Master Li exhaled deeply, and said in a relaxed tone: "That's good, that's good, it's good that Shen Xiaohou's injury is not serious." “

Lord Wu echoed the situation: "That's right, now our people in the Zhizhou Mansion can be regarded as relieved, Mrs. Shen, you can also look at the dark circles under your eyes, alas, you haven't slept well since the night before." ”

Master Li smiled and said, "Yes, now we can breathe a sigh of relief." ”

"Zhizhou Mansion can breathe a sigh of relief," Old Lady Shen put the Buddha beads in her hand on the side table, "That'...... What about the Assassins? What about those behind the Assassins? ”

The smiles on the faces of Master Li and Master Wu gradually froze.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Ye Lingwu glanced at the two of them slightly, but he didn't see much reaction on their faces.

In fact, although it is not clear who these assassins are arranged, the purpose of the assassins is clear at a glance, judging from the fact that Lord Li and Lord Wu are unharmed, those assassins are staring at Shen Zhan, and the purpose must be related to the "regulation of Tian Ling" mentioned at that banquet.

These people engaged in such a big battle, and the important ministers who came south were either seriously injured or imprisoned, if it was said that the mastermind behind the scenes after Shen Zhan's accident did not make a big move, it must be impossible.

Wonderful, maybe still to come.

Master Li straightened his face and replied: "Old Lady Shen asked a good question, but the night before was too negligent, those assassins fled very neatly, why is it that the Zhizhou Mansion is also investigating in the past two days, but it has not yet achieved results." ”

Old Lady Shen's eyes showed a touch of fierceness, and she sneered: "No results? My grandson almost lost his life, Lord Li's sentence of 'no results' simply made my wife and my heart cold, it's better to be like this, Your Majesty's will will come down in three days, I give the Zhizhou Mansion five days of time, if it is still these words after three days, then the Zhizhou Mansion does not need to exist, my wife is without an official and a half-job, but the four words of Mrs. Guoan, even His Majesty has to give some face. ”

Lord Li bowed slightly, supported the handrail with one hand and slowly stood up, and Lord Wu on the side quickly stood up when he saw this.

"Old Madam Shen's words, you must keep them in mind in the future," Master Li said in a deep voice, "Please also rest assured that Old Madam Shen, this case must be investigated, and the regulation of the field order must also be carried out, and the little Marquis Shen will slowly recover from his injuries, and other matters will be handed over to our Zhizhou Mansion." ”

Old Madam Shen didn't speak immediately, but first picked up the tea bowl on the side table, looked down at the tea leaves in the bowl, and said: "Huainan Famous Men have been too comfortable all these years, Your Majesty's repeated tolerance has led to some lawlessness now, if Lord Li wants to check, then he has to be careful." ”

Master Li wiped the thin sweat on his sideburns with his sleeve, and said with a reluctant smile: "Thank you Old Lady Shen for reminding me, then I will leave Master Wu and leave here, so I won't bother you more." ”

Mrs. Shen said, "Don't send it." ”

The warm curtain was lifted and lowered, and the seat was empty, so Mrs. Shen put down the tea bowl and took the Buddha beads on the table back into her hand.

Seeing that she hadn't drunk a sip of the hot tea on the side table, Mama Xuan exchanged glances with Ye Lingwu and said, "The old lady just said something, and the old slave felt that it seemed a little inappropriate. ”

Old Mrs. Shen lowered her tone and said "oh", "Then Mama Xuan, you say, my acceptance is inappropriate?" ”

Mama Xuan hesitated for half a second before she said bluntly: "If the Hou Ye really didn't have an accident, that sentence would be all right, but now that the Hou Ye's life and death are uncertain, the old lady's words are not appropriate." Officials are the best at planning, and these words of yours fall in their ears, and if you think about it carefully, you will probably guess something. ”

Old Lady Shen's eyes were gloomy, and she said, "Then let them guess, I want to see who is behind the scenes." ”

Mama Xuan was silent.

Ye Lingwu pursed her lips and said: "Old lady, but now we are in Yusu City, as the saying goes, a strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, not to mention that Hou Ye is still lying on the couch, they are doing it to us at this time, I am afraid that they have no power to fight back." ”

Mrs. Shen said: "I don't care about what you said, but the more we cover it up, the more weak our hearts become, but let people lead the nose away, it's better to be bold, I just want to see if those people dare to gamble with their heads." ”

The Shen family rented outside the house.

Master Li stood beside the carriage and didn't go up for a long time, and only then did he look back, his eyes full of confusion and contemplation.

Seeing his uncertain expression, Lord Wu asked, "What is Lord Li thinking?" ”

Lord Li slowly retracted his gaze and smiled reluctantly: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about what the old lady said, Lord Wu, do you think we can find out the assassin in five days?" ”

Lord Wu was speechless, and sneered: "It's hard to say, didn't Lord Zhizhou say that he was personally responsible for this assassination case, Lord Li has to ask Lord Zhizhou to do it." ”

"Lord Zhizhou?" Lord Li said twice, "Lord Wu, don't mention him, how many days have it been, he hasn't even sorted out the case of the Lord of Baili, it's better to rely on himself than to expect him, Ningbei Hou Mansion ~ We can't afford to offend." ”

After that, Lord Li smiled at Lord Wu, and the sharp-beaked monkey's cheek smiled like an air-dried eggplant.

Lord Wu shuddered, "What does Master Li mean by this?" ”

Master Li frowned, glanced at Lord Wu with a little meaning, and said silently: "...... Let's talk about it when we get in the car. ”
