Approaching the restaurant, Sang Xuanyue held her younger brother with one hand, thinking that there were so many people, I don't know if there is a private room.

If there is no box and she can only sit in the lobby, then she would rather turn around and go back to the Hou Mansion immediately!

Thinking that he would sit in the lobby with Shen Tingjun, enduring everyone's prying eyes and curiosity, Sang Zhuyue felt like she was going to suffocate.

Moreover, if this is the case, I am afraid that I will not be able to wait for tomorrow, and the rumors about Shen Hou inviting young women to dinner will spread throughout the capital.

The old lady designated to ask Shen Tingjun who the woman was, that scene, no, that Shura field is really a headache just thinking about it, Sang Xuanyue really hated to go back to the carriage immediately.

To Sang Xuanyue's surprise, as soon as she walked into the Moon Tower, a young man dressed as a guard came over, confirmed her identity, looked at the carriage she got down, and led her upstairs.

The man walked in front, and Qing'er helped her sister to walk behind. When passing the corner, Qing'er asked in a low voice, "Sister, is this really the person next to Hou Ye?" He just looked at me a few times, and the look in his eyes was inexplicable. ”

Qing'er felt inexplicable, but Sang Xuanyue knew the reason.

Thinking about coming, Shen Hou only thought that she invited him, but he didn't expect that she would bring her brother when she came.

But that's just the way it works.

Otherwise, having dinner alone with Shen Tingjun, thinking about the embarrassing scene, Sang Xuanyue was worried that even if he ate, he would have indigestion.

The guard seemed to hear Qing'er's voice, his ears moved, and he even glanced back at Qing'er. But Qing'er was watching his sister wait for her explanation, and he didn't notice that the guard's eyes were indescribable.

Sang Xuanyue noticed it, but she didn't say anything, only bowed her head lightly and said, "I'm tired." ”

"Don't bother, watch your step. Master Hou is waiting for you on the fifth floor, this little boy ......"

"He's my brother, I'll lead him."

“…… Good. ”

When I arrived on the fifth floor, there were only two boxes here, and at the door of one of the boxes stood the familiar Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi also glanced at Qing'er more, but didn't say anything, only pushed open the door and said, "Master Hou is inside, Miss Sang go in." ”

Sang Twisted Yue responded with a "good" and said again, "I'm tired." ”

Pushing the door in, I saw Shen Tingjun standing at the window on the fifth floor. The red light outside was magnificent, and white snowflakes were falling from the sky, and he was looking at the snow-white world outside with his back to the door.

He should have seen her and Qing'er when they got out of the car. I just hated that she was only thinking about the box at that time, and she didn't look up at all, otherwise she was afraid that it would be......

Otherwise, I was afraid that I would be frightened by Hou Ye's unhappy eyes, and I immediately returned to the carriage.

Sang Twist Moon is a little weak-hearted, but not too weak-hearted. After all, she said that she would invite Hou Ye to dinner, but she didn't say that they would have a separate meal.

I also know that she is such a person who can avoid suspicion, and she will not give people a handle at all.

The sister and brother got up and saluted, and Shen Tingjun seemed to come back to his senses. He turned around and glanced at the two sisters and brothers standing at the door, and said in a faint voice, "Get up." ”

I don't know if it's an illusion of Sang Twisting the Moon, I feel that Hou Ye is a little unhappy today......

She looked up and looked at Shen Tingjun, who was leaning against the window lattice at this time, and the cold wind outside the window was swept by snowflakes. He was in the red light and dark night, letting the snowflakes fall on his hair and clothes, blowing his hair messy, and his black eyes narrowed slightly...... His whole person is a bit like the reincarnation of a killing god, as if if if he wants to sacrifice his life to the flag if it doesn't go his way.

Sang Xuanyue shrunk his neck, feeling that the warm fragrance in his nose was much lighter, but there was a lot more biting coolness.

She said, "Isn't Master Hou cold?" Why don't you close the window? ”

"Yes. You come off. ”

Qing'er saw that her sister didn't want to move, so she hurriedly relieved her sister, "I'll close it, I'll close it, I'll bother the Hou Ye to go forward, I'll close the window, and the house can be warmer." ”

Shen Tingjun chuckled out for some reason, "It's okay." ”

He walked straight in, sat down at the table, and looked at Sang Xuanyue, who was still standing at the door, "It's not to listen to the case of the king's book, I was still impatient in the morning, but now I'm not in a hurry?" ”

Sang twisted Yue anxiously wanted to jump to his feet, not as Shen Tingjun said, but because he wanted to hear the follow-up of the case, purely because Shen Tingjun said nothing wrong with this, but in his ears, it didn't seem to smell like that.

What taught her to be impatient, and how could she be impatient?

Does Master Hou use idioms? Doesn't it mean that he is three-yuan and first, and the result is that he speaks at this level?

He couldn't stop slandering in his heart, but under Shen Tingjun's sneer, Sang Xuanyue obediently chose the farthest away from him, that is, sat down on the stool directly opposite him.

Qing'er also closed the window and sat down between the two.

Xu is window is closed, the temperature in the house rises sharply, Xu is the undisguised gaze of the person opposite, it is impossible to hold it, and Sang twists the moon's face to heat up, and at this time he sincerely regrets his little cleverness - this position is not good at all, you can see each other as soon as you look up, so embarrassing.

Qing'er wanted to recruit someone to bring refreshments, but Shen Tingjun had already booked the table, and not long after they sat down, Xiao Eryu brought the dishes.

"If you have anything to say later, eat first. When it's cold, drink soup first to warm up. Shen Tingjun spoke, and also served two bowls of soup, one for Qing'er and one for Sang Xuanyue.

Qing'er took it with trepidation, and once again felt in her heart, Shen Hou is really virtuous, even he and his sister are such childish women and children Shen Hou are solemnly treated, Shen Hou's virtue and ethics can really be recorded in history.

At the next meal time, Shen Tingjun and Qing'er said something that they didn't have. Mainly asked him if he had any plans to go to the academy to study in the New Year, and if he wanted to go to the academy to learn some literature and martial arts, he could arrange it.

Qing'er was crazy about this, he wanted to take a bite, but his sister was still in front of him, so Qing'er looked at her sister reflexively.

Qing'er realized that they were going to move out of the Hou Mansion, and then they would definitely have less contact with the Hou Mansion and be more estranged.

They have nothing to give back to the Hou Mansion, but they take advantage of others again and again, which is not good.

Qing'er saw that her sister didn't respond to him, so she hesitated, "I'll think about it and tell Master Hou later." The academy is good, but there is only one female dependent in the family, and if I enter the academy to study, and my sister is in charge of the house, it will be too hard. ”

Shen Tingjun heard the voiceover and knew that the sister and brother were still bent on moving out of the Hou Mansion. But he didn't say much, but said, "If you want to, come to me again." ”

"Okay."

He also talked about the better academies and masters in the capital, and the spring season is coming, and scholars from many places have entered Beijing. Now, if there is no satisfied master, you can wait, and then there will be a child who has failed to make a living and will come to teach at home......

This meal took a bit long, but because of Qing'er's gags in it, Shen Tingjun was not as indifferent and silent as usual, and there were many verbal exchanges at the table, and even Sang Zhuoyue chatted a few words about tea and calligraphy and painting. By the time the meal was over, an hour had passed.

A few people moved to the window to drink tea, and the window lattice here was loaded with large pieces of glass. Looking at the snow outside through the glass is a real pleasure.

Shen Tingjun was looking forward to Sang Xuanyue, and finally talked about the case of the king master.

Wang Zhushu embezzled and accepted bribes, committed adultery, undertook lawsuits, judged unjust, false and wrongful cases, bought and sold young children, forced good people to become prostitutes, and of course, the most important thing was that he killed many people in order to make money.

The famous tragedy of destroying the door in Wei County has also been investigated, and Master Wang is really behind the scenes, and the eight bandits are the knives he used to kill people.

Not only these lives, but also many others, there are a hundred and ten who can find conclusive evidence that the king's book was murdered. The rest seemed to be confessed by the henchmen of the king's bookkeeper, some of the corpses were thrown to the bottom of the river, and some were chopped up and fed to the dogs, none of which could be verified to be true or false. But as far as the Criminal Department had all the information, Wang Zhushu was sentenced to death.

Not only him, but the son of the royal family is the right and left hand of the king's master, and he has handled many dirty things. He was also heavily sentenced, first hit forty boards to set an example, and then beheaded with the king's bookkeeper after the year.

The royal family's daughter-in-law sold loan sharks and forced people to death and was sentenced to death.

In addition to these three people, the Wang family only left Wang Xu and Wang Laosan.

Wang Xu is a typical woman in the house, except for the family affairs, the rest is not worried.

Mrs. Wang Laosan is an ordinary girl from a family of officials, with an innocent family background, although she is a little clever, but she does not dare to do things that hurt nature and reason. After the accident in the Wang family, she was taken back to her parents' house as soon as possible, and after a thorough investigation by the Criminal Department, there was no case on her body, so she was no longer in control.

Not as evil as the king's master and Wang's boss, nor as clean as the old lady and daughter-in-law, Wang Laosan is a swinger, spending all day drinking, and when he is drunk, he likes to lead a group of gentlemen to do chores and rob and burn, and do some work that endangers the market. But after investigation, he really had no life on his hands, and in the end, Wang Laosan was only sentenced to two years in prison.

In addition, all the property of the Wang family was confiscated, including the maids and servants who had deeds of sale, and all were confiscated and taken away by the yamen.

After the verdict of the Criminal Department was announced today, the Wang family has completely become yesterday's yellow flower.

The Wang family is the only one in the Wang family standing alone in front of the door today, but no one pities her.

She gave birth to three sons, but only the second eldest Wang Wenju was a good one. Xu was studying at Nanbian Academy at a young age, and Wang Wenju was not contaminated with the bad habits of his father and brother at all.

But good people don't live long, he was drunk after lifting people in his hometown exam, when the third child of the Wang family accompanied his brother out, but because he was stumped by Hua Niang, and the little girl remembered to go out to find someone in a hurry, Wang Wenju drowned.

But it's okay to die, otherwise if you have such a father and brother, what if you have an official body? Isn't it the same as being stripped of that official robe and living a depressed life?

Now that I think about it, it seems that God has arranged the best destination for Wang Wenju a long time ago.

Sang Xuanyue was thinking wildly, but Qing'er asked again, "What about the eight bandits?" Did they sentence it, but the death penalty? ”

"Death penalty."

Confirming the news, Qing'er couldn't help but cheer. He hugged his sister, and tears of excitement rolled out, "Sister, we are free, and the Wang family will never threaten us in the future." ”

Sang Xuanyue came back to her senses, her eyes were flushed, and she choked up and said, "Yes!" ”

From now on, the Wang family is no longer her nightmare.

Thinking of this at the same time, the sister and brother couldn't help crying with joy and couldn't help hugging each other.

Although Wang Xu was not punished, although Wang Xu was still alive, her minions were gone, and her backer fell......

- Sang Xuanyue didn't think about escaping after losing her husband, she has silver in her hand and can do a lot of things.

But as outsiders say, Wei County is the Wei County of the king's book. As long as it is something that enters Wei County, even if it is a mosquito, if you want to go out, you have to ask the king if he agrees.

Wang Zhushu is the head snake of Wei County, he regards human life as a mustard, closely monitors Wei County, and pays close attention to his own back house.

After Sang Xuanyue lost her husband, she secretly saw the old man of the Sang family several times, and she would always be beaten by the king master book afterwards, so that she could "abide by the rules" and "keep the woman's way". As if to completely cut off her desire to escape, Master Wang also directly placed Qing'er in the front yard.

Sang Xuanyue, a widowed woman, can't move around casually. And Qing'er, as a man who has reached the age of ten, is not suitable to go to the backyard. Coupled with Wang Xu's deliberate obstruction, although the sister and brother were in a big mansion, they didn't see each other for nearly a year.

The king's desire to control can be seen from this, and it is precisely because he is watching from the side, and he also pinched Qing'er, the "hostage", that Sang Xuanyue did not dare to act rashly, even if he had all kinds of calculations, but he couldn't do it.

And now, the king's book has fallen! There is only one Wang Xu left, and there is nothing to be afraid of!

The sisters and brothers got up to salute Shen Tingjun, Qing'er was even excited to kneel, but was supported by Shen Tingjun in time.

"Master Hou, you accept my salute."

"The case is not judged by me, it is the adults of the criminal department. But they're impartial, and you don't have to thank them. ”

The group of people in the criminal department have been hunting geese all year round, but this time they were pecked by geese. In order to get back face, the criminal department said that it was necessary to be upright, and the criminal department sentenced the case this time to be serious and fast. It is also for this reason that cases that usually take several months or even a year to be adjudicated were decided in less than ten days this time; is as guilty as Wang Sanlang, who usually only needs to beat dozens of boards to set an example, but this time he was sentenced to two years. This also shows how determined the Criminal Department is to be ashamed and how strong the sense of revenge is.

Shen Tingjun looked at Sang Xuanyue, "The case can be judged so quickly because of your help." Speaking of which, Qing'er wants to thank you, and she should thank you. ”

Sang twisted the moon and suddenly understood what Shen Tingjun meant. She anxiously asked, "Is the clue I provided useful?" ”

Qing'er was curious, "Sister, what clues did you provide?" ”

Sang Xuanyue told the story that there was a secret vault hidden under the Wang's Bird Forest, as if to echo her, Shen Tingjun nodded beside her, "There is indeed a secret vault over there, but the entrance is hidden, and the servants have been looking for a long time to find it." ”

It was also the amount of gold and silver found in the secret vault that was so huge that it was even sensational, and it became the last brick to kill the king's master book.

You must know that as an old official, Master Wang knows best how bad the evil he has done is. Knowing that the confession was death, he gritted his teeth and said nothing but shouting that he was wronged.

It was also found in time by the secret vault, the evidence was conclusive, and the king couldn't quibble if he wanted to, so he could only admit guilt in the end.

"Speaking of which, you have avenged yourself by virtue of your own ability."

Qing'er smiled, "Sister, what Master Hou said is right, this time thanks to you, if it weren't for you, this matter couldn't be solved so quickly." ”

Sang Xuanyue's praised little face was flushed, like a peach blossom blooming on her face in March, her eyes were watery, and she said abruptly, "I also guessed, I didn't know that there was indeed a secret vault over there." ”

"That's also my sister's careful care, you see that I have obviously lived in the Wang family for several years, but I haven't paid attention to these abnormalities at all."

"Okay, don't pat my sister's ass, Hou Ye will laugh at us in a while."

The sister and brother looked at Shen Tingjun at the same time, Shen Tingjun had no waves on his face, but there was indeed a little warmth in his eyes, and he looked like he was smiling.

The two siblings looked at him at the same time, and he didn't have any extra expression, just asked them, "Do you want to go to the Moon Pavilion for a walk?" ”

Although there is a sense of heaven and man to enjoy the snow upstairs, walking in the snow is a different kind of taste.

Both Sang and Qing'er want to step on the snow, but it's definitely not now, and it's not going to the Moon Pavilion.

Sang Twisted Yue shook her head, "I still don't want it, how cold it is outside." ”

Qing'er also bowed her head, "The snow is so big, I'm afraid it's knee-deep." ”

"It's mine, didn't I take this into account......" Shen Tingjun was about to say something more, but he heard a sudden noisy voice outside the door, the voice was somewhat familiar, and suddenly it was quiet outside.

After another moment, Cheng Yi pushed open the door and whispered a few words in Shen Tingjun's ear, Shen Tingjun's face was blank, but he raised his head to look at Sang Zhuyue, and then said, "I know, you go down." ”

When Cheng Yi went out, Shen Tingjun looked at the tea cup in the empty moon and asked her, "Do you still want to drink tea?" ”

"No, I've drunk a lot more today, and I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night if I drink it again."

Sang Xuanyue asked Shen Tingjun again, "Is Master Hou busy with something?" ”

"The prince took a few guests out to enjoy the snow and invited me to accompany him."

"Then you go and get busy, our sister and brother won't bother you, we will go back to the Hou Mansion by ourselves." As soon as Sang Xuanyue heard that it was the crown prince, her voice was a little eager. She knows best that these superiors can't be offended, although she heard that Shen Tingjun is the prince's companion, and the two have a deep friendship, but after all, the prince is the king, and the king is invited, but you, as a courtier, are you slow, so don't you wait to fall out of favor?

Sang Xuanyue pulled his younger brother up, and the two saluted Shen Tingjun and prepared to retire. Shen Tingjun looked at the sister and brother with a panicked look, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

"That's it, let Cheng Yi send you back."

Sang Xuanyue hurriedly waved his hand, "I really don't need it, Master Hou." When we went out, the old lady specially assigned two retired sergeants to take care of us. You can go about your business, don't worry about us. Cheng Yi's guard is your right-hand man, with him and your old lady at ease, if we take Cheng Yi's guard away, but we have to worry that Hou Ye will not take advantage of people, then it is not ours. ”

Shen Tingjun didn't know whether he was persuaded by her, or he was distracted by her sudden concern, so he nodded and agreed.

The sister and brother went down to the restaurant together, and Shen Tingjun took a break here, and then went to the box next to him.

The prince took a few Qing guests, as well as Xu Zhijun and Liang Haosheng, and had already begun to feast.

As soon as he entered the door, the prince laughed and asked him to punish him for drinking, and said, "I heard that you are here today with beauty?" In order to prevent your good deeds, Zhijun and I dare not disturb you. The three companions read that you came the latest, and quickly punished three glasses of wine. ”

Shen Tingjun only pecked two glasses tonight, he was in a happy mood, and he didn't care about the prince's jokes, so he immediately picked up the three glasses of wine that Xu Zhijun had poured and poured them into his mouth.

He drank so neatly, not to mention that it was impossible for the prince to let him go, even Xu Zhijun and Liang Haosheng were like cats smelling fishy, pulling him to ask questions.

first asked whose girl it was, and then asked how she met, when she was going to be hired, and when she got married, the prince could send his eldest son to be a rolling bed......

Shen Tingjun was like a closed gourd, no matter how much they inquired, they didn't say a word. This made the prince more and more curious, and simply called Cheng Yi over to ask about the specific situation.

But Chengyi was as tight as his master, he didn't dare to offend the prince, but he didn't give an answer, so he stood straight in place, no matter how many people persuaded him, he didn't reply a word, and the angry prince and Xu Zhijun and Liang Haosheng had nothing to do.

Not to mention that the fifth floor is very lively, but it is only said that the Sang Xuanyue sister and brother went downstairs to settle the bill, but they were told that the bill had already been settled.

The shopkeeper looked at the sisters and brothers with a smile and said, "The girl often comes to Wangyue Tower to sit and sit when she has something to do, the scenery here is good and clean, and those little splashes don't dare to disturb." Before the girl came, I asked someone to greet me in advance, and I prepared a box for the girl to make sure that the girl was at ease. ”

Sang Xuanyue didn't know if the shopkeeper said this when he saw the guest, or if he knew that she was a guest of Wu Anhou, so he was more polite than usual.

But others greeted each other with smiling faces, and Sang Xuanyue categorically had no reason to speak ill of each other. She smiled and said, "I'll come over and cheer when I'm free." ”

When the two sisters and brothers walked out of the lobby of the Moon Tower, there were two juniors who deliberately guarded them in case they were collided. Seeing this, Qing'er said, "It makes sense that Mochizuki's business is doing well, sister, let's come back when it's empty." ”

"Okay."

"Next time, I will also call Hou Ye. Hou Ye invited us today, and we will also go back when we go back, otherwise it will be bothering Hou Ye to contribute, and it will be asking Hou Ye to pay, and I can't go in my heart. ”

Sang Xuanyue showed a sincere smile, "Qing'er is older, and she is more thoughtful, so she will follow Qing'er." ”

The sisters and brothers got into the carriage, and the horses moved and went to the Hou Mansion.

Sang Xuanyue didn't see it, not far from their carriage, a Houfu carriage with the same emblem also stopped.

Shen Tinglan beckoned to the shopkeeper, pointed to the carriage that was walking away, and asked, "Is that the female dependant of our Hou Mansion?" How come I haven't seen it? ”

The shopkeeper haha, "Third master, please spare me, I will be in charge of the restaurant, and I am not the big housekeeper in our house, and I am in charge of whether the female relatives of our Hou Mansion are relatives." ”

Shen Tinglan scolded the "old slippery head", and after the shopkeeper left, he asked the little guy next to him, "Could it be Xiuwen's sister-in-law?" ”

The little girl complained, "Who is the lady and what does it have to do with us?" Don't be so curious, go back and let Madame know that you look at other women, Madame must not chop off my head. ”

", Madame is the most gentle and kind, if you ruin Madame's reputation, I will send you to Madame when you turn around."

"Then I'll tell Madame, you have looked at others a few more times today."

Shen Tinglan's angry fingers clicked several times in mid-air, and finally flicked his hand into the lobby of the Moon Tower.

But as he was about to step into the lobby, he couldn't help but look in the direction of the carriage again.

For some reason, his heart was beating fast and almost palpitating at that moment. And at this time, his heart was empty, and he lost it like a vital treasure.

6000+, desperately updated, but I really don't have the energy to catch insects. The baby is making a lot of noise, I will go to see the child and revise it tomorrow. Babies have a good time reading the text.
