Chapter 370: Chasing the Wind and Shadows

In Shen Nian's words, Lin Guifei sent a total of three groups of people to come, but they were all blocked back by Qiu Cheng one by one, the tailor who made the wedding dress was the most pitiful, dragging Qiu Cheng to ask, just to take a look at Lord Shen from a distance, otherwise the wedding dress would not fit, but how to make it, Qiu Cheng had already prepared, and gave the person an old dress of Shen Nianyi, saying that it was just according to the size, and the tailor cried and left with a face.

Qiu Cheng also coped with his big eyes: "My lord, Concubine Lin also came on the orders of the emperor, and the wedding date was very hasty, is this really good?" ”

"It's okay, she must have arranged everything, whether I show up or not, it's all the same." Shen Nian had some concerns, before the matter of the concubine was completely obtained, if Concubine Lin was aggressive for this matter, she would only have to startle the snake, and the concubine had obviously taken the lead since the plague, but she was silent.

"My lord, another team of people came, saying that they asked for your authority, and they wanted to go to the house to arrange." Qiu Cheng felt that the people sent by Concubine Lin were all sharp and sharp, and they all had good smiles, which was really hard to refuse.

"Let them go over, just go to the house to find the young sister-in-law, and she will have full authority to arrange." In Shen Nianyi's hand was a list of the addresses of all the patients, which had been summarized and displayed on the distribution map in the city, "Qiu Cheng, you see, these two places have the darkest eyes. ”

The slender fingers tapped twice on the paper, and Shen Nianyi continued, "Immediately send someone to these two places, first find the water source, or the commonly used living well, and then inquire around to collect witnesses, if there are any suspicious people circling around the neighborhood a few days ago, as soon as there is news, report it quickly." ”

Qiu Cheng didn't need to be a shield anymore when he heard this, the soles of his feet slipped away, and he ran fast, Shen Nianyi looked at the distribution map intently, and was a little puzzled, Sun Mansion was not close to these two points, and Sun Mansion was up and down, only Sun Shining was infected with poison alone, where did she come into contact with it, could it be that there are other hidden dangers around Shining?

"Lord Shaoqing, the emperor has an order, please enter the palace immediately and discuss matters." The first announcement outside was an oracle from the palace, Shen Nian answered, stood up, and the person had already arrived at Qin Siran's place again, and said the same message.

Shen Nianyi said strangely, the emperor actually wanted to let Zheng Shaoqing of Dali Temple appear at the same time, could it be said that there was a big incident in the palace?

The two of them went in and out together, but they sat in two carriages, Qin Siran's anger in front of him had not subsided, and he didn't even look at him from the corner of his eye, snorted coldly, and got into the carriage.

Shen Nianyi asked Lu Mo not to drive too fast, Lu Mo saw them fighting openly and secretly, and said worriedly: "My lord, Lord Qin entered the palace before us, if you complain to the emperor, your lord will be one step late, and you will be speechless." ”

"No, it won't." Shen Nian closed his eyes and recuperated, Lu Mo had been following him for a short time, and he didn't understand the details, but Lu Mo was not a person of many words, he obeyed his orders and drove the carriage flat and steady, while Qin Siran's one went on a rampage and threw them away from afar.

"Not a good thing." Shen Nianyi said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Lu Mo is an upright tendon to the end, without so many twists and turns.

"The person sent by the emperor is not Gonggong Mo beside him, and it must not be a good thing to recruit people in such a hurry." Shen Nianyi simply half-closed his eyes and pretended to sleep in the car.

"Qin Zhengqing doesn't understand?"

"He thought that the first to arrive could make meritorious service first." Shen Nianyi said lightly.

Lu Mo laughed and said: "Looking back, Lord Zhengqing will only blame the Lord for knowing that it is thankless, so he deliberately procrastinated, and his heart should not be happy." ”

"It's useless, I'll tell him 1510, and he won't believe it." Shen Nian smiled, you have to be a good person, and you have to be convinced by the other party, otherwise you will only be fooled by your gossip.

They were stunned that the time of the incense stick arrived a little late, and the mouths of those people outside the palace gate were idle for a moment, and the time when Qin Siran arrived, the appearance of the hurried appearance, described it very vividly, Shen Nian heard it in his ears, but did not interject, the people in the palace are the most observant of words and feelings, and know which person is favored by the emperor, without much effort, they can make a good place to park and park the horses, and the accompanying ones can also be invited to the hut, serving tea and water, on the contrary, accompanied by a smiling face, plugged with benefits, they may not give a good face.

As soon as Shen Nian arrived at the imperial study, Gong Mo craned his neck like a quail and guarded the door, but he didn't dare to make a sound, pointed to the inside of the door, and then pointed to his mouth, Shen Nian nodded a little, as if he had received the news.

"Wechen Shen Nian asked to see him." When the emperor is in a good mood, he doesn't need to be polite, he must be polite at this time, Shen Nianyi also secretly laughed at his years in the court, how can he not be a villain who sees the wind and rudder, in this big pool, the ink is in the end, and there is no one who stays in it who is not dyed black.

He especially remembered his father's words, since he was an official, he didn't mind too much that the robe was no longer pure white and flawless, you must know that there are too many layers between black and white, just to see if a heart is still principled.

"Come in!" The emperor's voice was not high, but it was obviously full of anger.

Shen Nian pushed the door in, but saw that together with Qin Siran, several court officials were kneeling in the corner, and they didn't dare to come out, and the emperor's face was pale, and he was at the height of his anger.

He chose not to speak first, waiting for the emperor to speak, the emperor grabbed a piece of jade paperweight on the table, and smashed it on the ground: "Waste, all are waste." ”

A piece of fine jade fell into eight petals, fragments splashed everywhere, and a small piece grazed Shen Nianyi's cheek, but he was still silent.

"Shen Aiqing, take a look at these!" The emperor threw over a stack of case files, and he took them up, "It's just, it's just not like words." ”

Shen Nian quickly flipped through it, and the case file was written about the secrets of more than a dozen officials, some of whom had accepted bribes, some had occupied women from good families, and some had forced more than ten ancestral graves to be cut out in order to build their own homes, which was not a trivial matter.

"That, after that Min Zijin was arrested and put into the criminal department, he didn't need to be tortured, he had already confessed in a steady stream, he was afraid that he would do too much evil and couldn't escape a capital crime, so he said that he would report the behavior of others he knew, and he would be punished, and the few who tried him were not idle, and they wanted to make the credit bigger, and they ended up sorting out such a thick stack, you look at it, there are some people on top, they are all hiding from me, hiding from me alone!" The emperor was so angry that he couldn't finish his words.

Of course, Shen Nianyi saw that there were any of them, they were all high-ranking officials, and Qin Siran's misdeeds were also involved, although it had not yet been confirmed to be true, Qin Siran hurried over like this, it was the emperor's gas bag that was filled, and he was reprimanded a lot when he entered the door, and he was ordered to kneel aside and punish him later.

"Your Majesty, these are all from the mouth of Min Zijin, it is inevitable that there is a suspicion of chasing after the wind and shadows, not all of them are real, he only wants to reduce his crimes, and there are also people who shamelessly drag people into the water, the emperor does not have to be in a hurry, and then make a long-term plan when the matter is clarified." When Shen Nian saw that the emperor was still angry, he coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, the guest from Weichen's house has already gone back. ”

The emperor was suddenly distracted, waved his hand, and scolded impatiently: "Kneel, kneel, kneel, what will one or two do except kneel, all for me to go back to reflect, if you haven't done it, then it's enough, if it's true, I ask for my life to go to the criminal department to surrender, so as not to find out and punish several crimes." ”

"The ministers don't dare, these are just false accusations." Several kneeling people pleaded in unison.

"All gone, all back!" As soon as the emperor spoke, where did these scapegoats dare to stay longer, one by one they turned back, Qin Siran rushed to come in a beautiful way, but he made such a fuss, and he hated it even more in his heart.

After everyone else was gone, the emperor eased his emotions a little and said: "That is, Shen Aiqing's words, they are on the point, but as long as they have an orderly and clear explanation, I will not be angry like that." ”

"The emperor is making enemies for Weichen." Shen Nianyi said with a straight face, "Wechen has been used to it for a long time, but if the emperor is angry elsewhere, why bother with a few of them." ”

The emperor was noncommittal and said, "First of all, tell me about the person who came from afar, how is it?" ”

Shen Nianyi explained that Ah Yi, who came to report the news, left the house and returned the same way, and said that he gave him a shortcut to communication, as long as there is news over there, it can reach him in a few days, which is better than running back and forth on two legs.

"Even if I don't explain, Shen Aiqing has already guessed the truth, this matter is a major matter on my mind, and Shen Xiang can't let it go either." The emperor actually sighed deeply and said, only then did he turn his face.

Shen Nianyi happened to be face to face with him, but saw that there were a few nail prints on the left side of the emperor's sideburns, which were not heavy or shallow, and they were very eye-catching, and immediately understood where the emperor's anger came from.

Over the years, every time my parents left home, it was a few months and a half, walking all over the mountains and rivers in the territory, and walking all over the east, west, north and south, clearly trying to find something crucial.

"Everyone says that there is nothing in the world that can hide Shen Aiqing."

"That's when everyone exaggerated, there are many things in the world, how can you do everything by yourself." Shen Nian slowly reflected, "If Weichen was really omnipotent, he would have taken off this official uniform a long time ago and gone away as a carefree idler, and he couldn't leave because he couldn't let go." ”

The emperor pondered his words carefully, and did not shy away from pointing to his face and said: "Then, Shen Aiqing came to break it off for me first, how did this Lin Guifei who has been gentle and graceful for many years suddenly become such an abominable shrew?" ”
