So every day I can hear something like, so-and-so has knelt in the palace for two days, too loyal! The emperor ignored it, the old man was not in good health, and he fainted, it was too chilling!

Regardless of whether it is a performance or a sincere performance, the performance still has to be performed, and even Shen Hong participated in the joint admonition activity, suggesting that the emperor take good care of his body and stop believing in these strange forces.

As a bystander, Lin Piao can be regarded as having understood how a person is played to death, even if this person is the emperor, it is clear that this pit was dug by them, and the person really fell into it, and began to beg a person who couldn't get up at all to get up quickly, begging him not to make any more mistakes.

Shrimp and pig heart, the emperor is in this bureau, and it is estimated that he is going to die of discomfort.

And when Shen Hong came home every day, he still folded flowers, read books, tasted tea, and the two of them got together to talk.

Lin Piao was still a little uncomfortable after that incident, so he no longer often squeezed a chair with him, and sat next to him, Shen Hong knew each other very well, and he didn't mention any topic in that regard, nor did he mention a word about that incident, but Lin Piao was very satisfied.

What's more, now they are full of worries about Ergou: "Alas, what should Ergou do, how long have they been in prison, and how long can they drag it out just by procrastination." ”

Originally, I thought that as the case progressed, as long as I could find some evidence of his murder, I would be able to get rid of the matter and get rid of it, but it turned out that there was no evidence of his murder, and it was made into a perfect suicide case.

Shen Hong looked at him lying on the table, with a somewhat sad look: "This matter will take a turn for the better." ”

"Where?" Lin Piao's spirits rose.

"Let's look back."

"......" looked back, looked back, and didn't know which day I was going to see it back.

Shen Hong looked at him with a somewhat disappointed look: "I have a way to keep Lingyue, if it really comes to that point, it will only be the other party who is unlucky." ”

Lin Piao glanced at him in surprise, and then laughed: "So you kept your back hand?" If only you had a trick in mind. ”

At this moment, in the palace, the five princes were standing in front of the emperor's bed, carefully serving the decoction.

The emperor was lying on the bed, his face was very weak, and he raised his eyes and glanced at the fifth prince: "Old five, you have a heart." ”

"Father, my sons were young and ignorant before, I don't know how many bad things I caused you, I have been repenting all these years, I haven't had time to repay my father's love for me, please be healthy."

The fifth prince said a little choked and sad, when he fought with the family, the family almost kicked him out of Beijing, fortunately his mother called him Taoguang Yanghui, the mother concubine has no background backing, relying on the soft figure, to be more obedient and obedient, usually arrogant and stubborn mouth is just a little fun, as soon as something happened, he immediately cried and admitted his mistake, saying that he never wanted him to be the emperor or anything like that, so that his father and the emperor took pity on him again.

But after that, his father has been lukewarm to him, and now the second brother has become the prince and is busy with court politics, and the fourth brother has provoked his father and the emperor is unhappy and has no chance to serve, only he can serve the decoction, and it is the opportunity to compete for favor.

Halfway through the serving of the decoction, the emperor suddenly stared at the top of the bed tent, his eyes straightened, the corners of his forehead were bruised, and he exclaimed: "Brother? ”

"Brother!"

"Brother? Why don't you leave?! Don't push me. ”

The sick emperor suddenly got up from the bed, jumped off the dragon bed, ran to the wall where the famous sword was hung, and drew the sword out of its sheath and slashed at it.

The fifth prince was so frightened that he retreated again and again: "Father? Father! ”

The emperor suddenly burst into laughter again, slashing wildly, and his hair scattered: "Do you blame me?" Do you blame me? ”

The fifth prince retreated to the corner, not knowing who the emperor was talking to, whether it was with the 'elder brother' or him: "Father, the son never dared and would not be resentful. ”

The emperor laughed more and more wantonly, and his voice was bitter: "It's useless for you to complain about me, you have to be more than a man to death, I am willing to be a mandarin duck and not an immortal, you taught me!" The children of the heavenly family are ruthless, I can't be so weak anymore, and you taught me! Either Caesar or nothing! What are you entangled in?! What are you still pestering about?! ”

The fifth prince looked at his father's appearance in horror, swallowed his saliva, ran out quickly, and when he reached the door, he grabbed his father-in-law's hand and took out a silver ticket: "If my father is sober and smells, please tell my father-in-law that I have left a long time ago." ”

Cold sweat broke out on the head of the fifth prince, and the father-in-law glanced at the silver ticket and nodded, Now that the emperor has become like this, what can he do if this matter is not spread.

The fifth prince got the answer, walked back quickly, did not expect that he would hear such a news, the father and his brother have a very good relationship, this is something he has known since he was a child, when he was a child, no one can compete with Jingyang for things, whether it is a princess or a prince, grandma will tell them, that is the only one of the father, the brother of a mother's compatriots, very good to the father, is the most cherished person by the father, the mother also said to him, the father values the brotherhood, and the spoiling of Jingyang is something she can't compare, provokedJingyang will admit that he is unlucky.

My father would also remember from time to time when he was feasting and drinking: "This is my brother's favorite wine." ”

"My brother used to like this plum blossom the most."

"In the past, my brother took me to the hunting grounds, and when I was injured, he carried me off, so that the brotherhood is deep, and between you brothers, you should let your brother do it."

He grew up hearing these words, and the former crown prince was killed by another prince, and his father, Emperor Taoguang, took revenge on the former prince and reversed the case, and finally became the crown prince and ascended to the supreme position.

Now it seems that everything in the past is fake, and the death of my father's brother is inextricably linked to my father's emperor.

The Fifth Prince was frightened, but soon calmed down, and this incident overturned all his previous perceptions, but after all, it was not unusual for such a thing to happen to the royal family.

The Emperor had a madness, and when he came to his senses he was even weaker, and as he lay on the bed, he noticed a tingling in his thigh, and he lifted the quilt and looked at it, and found that it was now bandaged.

The father-in-law said cautiously and pityingly on the side: "Your Majesty, you are just ...... I accidentally hurt myself. ”

The emperor was lying on the bed and his expression changed slightly: "What's going on?" ”

Then his eyes became more and more suspicious: "Didn't you just say it would be good for a while, why don't I remember anything, come to the preacher, let him come and explain it to me immediately!" ”

The father-in-law walked out quickly, and after a while, he invited the Taoist chief over, and the Taoist chief dressed in green clothes came to the dragon bed and bowed down: "Your Majesty, but what's the matter?" ”

"What's wrong with me, didn't you say it's going to be okay soon? How is it getting more and more serious ! The Emperor looked at him angrily.

The Taoist chief looked indifferent, nodded slightly and glanced at him: "I'll take a look." Although he stepped forward to look at it, he stepped back and said: "Your Majesty is the emperor of the world, and he is already the supreme being, and he was formed by the stars in the sky in response to the calamity, and his intention to practice is to go against the sky, which is already more difficult than ordinary people, not to mention that Your Majesty has only opened his eyes to the heavens, and can see through the two worlds of yin and yang, and it is normal for his soul to be shocked and feel uneasy from time to time." ”

"Sky Eye? I opened the eyes of heaven? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty has achieved some results in his cultivation now, although he can't see through the past and future fate, but he can see through the yin and yang worlds, and his soul is being washed like never before, so he will be so uneasy and frightened, and he will be fine after a while."

The emperor muttered to himself: "No wonder...... No wonder ......" He looked at the Taoist chief and puzzled: "Is it possible that there is only one ghost in the palace?" ”

"Your Majesty is the Ninety-Five, the palace is blessed with dragon energy, ordinary goblins and ghosts are not able to approach, even if there is a cause and effect traction mixed in it, seeing Your Majesty, it is natural to avoid it quickly, and those who can appear in front of Your Majesty are only deeply involved with Your Majesty."

"Why hasn't he left, I've already done land and water rituals, and he really wants to be suppressed by me?"

The Taoist chief shook his head: "I'm afraid it's difficult, Your Majesty must know that everything has a cause, and the retribution is coming, and it can't be stopped." ”

The emperor's expression flashed with anger, and the Taoist chief saw this: "But there is a way to resolve it." ”

"Please tell me more."

The Taoist chief opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, his father-in-law hurriedly walked in and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Yu Lao asks to see you." ”

The emperor's face froze, and then he was furious: "How long will they pester?" Ordinary people don't know what I'm going through now, but they only know that they put the words "for the country and the people" on their lips, because they act like this, how many more people talk about me? They will behave, all of them are loyal and upright ministers, so I am a faint king?! Which one is clean? ”

"Your Majesty." The father-in-law reminded softly that the emperor no longer spoke, he had been the emperor for so many years, and he was the best at checks and balances, so he naturally knew best how many filths these old foxes were loyal and upright on the surface, but how much dirt was hidden under them, but this kind of person was the most difficult to deal with, and the kung fu on the face was ten percent, and no one dared to attack them easily, not to mention that the person who did it would have to lose his skin.

This group of old slippery heads is a character that is more difficult to deal with than Xiang Jia.

The emperor snorted coldly: "Go and please come in." ”

The father-in-law nodded, and the Taoist priest on the side also retreated when he saw this, after all, these ministers did not want to see him, and he stayed here, and he would have to suffer a blow.

And today, Shen Hong came back early at noon, saying that other adults went to find trouble for the emperor, but they didn't have much to do, and after coming back for lunch, they went out again.

Lin Piao asked him what banquet he was going to, and he walked up the steps and turned back and said, "Go and solve the matter of Lingyue." ”

Chapter 165

Lin Piao looked at the back of Shen Hong's departure, and pondered for a moment in his heart, to solve the matter of Lingyue?

Lin Piao hurriedly followed: "When will you come back?" ”

Shen Hong thought for a while: "About an hour and a half will be enough." ”

Lin Piao nodded, it's not too long, the matter shouldn't be too big, it should be to find someone to entrust a relationship, and if it's right, you can release Ergou.

"Then I'll wait for you to have dinner."

Shen Hong nodded.

Shanzi followed him and walked to the side door, where Lin Feng and Wu Chi were already waiting outside with their weapons, and the carriage was ready.

The coachman looked at Shen Hong: "My lord, where are you going?" ”

Shen Hong walked on the carriage and entered the carriage, and Shanzi said: "Go to the household department to visit Guo Heng's house." ”

The coachman took the order, and the carriage walked out of the alley and headed towards Guo Heng's house.

Guo Heng was drinking tea at home at this time, holding the beautiful concubine in his arms, chanting poems and songs, mixing oil in honey, he gave the concubine a new emerald necklace, the necklace was green and clear, like a lake of deep water, hanging on the concubine's snow-white neck, hanging between the slender arms and collarbones, very eye-catching, looking particularly moving.

Someone outside hurriedly came to report: "My lord, Shen Hong is here to visit." ”

"Shen Hong?" He was amazed: "What did he come to do?" Who did he come from? What did he bring? ”

"Nothing, he came by himself, with a few attendants by his side."

"How many?"

"Three, one is Zhang Wangshan, who follows him close to him on weekdays, and two are martial artists, and they often follow him, all of them are familiar faces, and there are no new faces."

Guo Heng nodded and thought for a moment: "Go, invite him to sit in the hall, serve good tea first, and I'll go over in a while." ”

The people outside left in a hurry, and the little concubine in her arms smiled and nodded his nose: "Who is this Shen Hong, look at the adults who are scared." ”

"What do you know as a woman?" Guo Heng let go of his hand, and the concubine also left his lap when she saw this, and went to the side to fiddle with her hair and jewelry.

Guo Heng hesitated for a moment, and called two trustworthy attendants to follow him, he was not afraid of what Shen Hong would do, Shen Hong has always been a polite person, and he would not do some reckless things, but he inevitably felt weak in his heart, and he still had to have some reliable people by his side to rely on.

He also roughly knew why Shen Hong went to the door, and it was just for Li Lingyue's business if he thought about it, but he didn't expect Shen Hong to come to the door because of this matter.

"It's over, it's over." He whispered to himself, he and the adults were wrong, thinking that Shen Hong was also acting like a helper, and when he couldn't help, he wouldn't continue to exert his strength inside, but he didn't expect that he would come to the door for Li Lingyue's matter.

Shen Hong is such a smart person, if he wants to deal with the past and not offend people, it will take a lot of work.

Guo Heng cheered up the spirit, sorted out his robe and walked out of the door, and when he arrived in the hall, he sat Shen Hong inside and hurried to greet him: "Brother Shen Hong, why do you have to think of my brother today, it's really brilliant." ”

Shen Hong stood up: "Lord Guo, something has come and disturbed you." ”

"Whereever, I wish you were disturbing more."

Guo Heng saw that he didn't answer the phone, and knew that there was no prevarication, so he sat on the top seat, and the maid served tea, and he kept looking at Shen Hong with his spare eyes, he didn't mention Li Lingyue's matter, just waited to see when Shen Hong couldn't help mentioning this matter.

Shen Hong smiled lightly, gentle and humble: "Lord Guo, the younger generation really can't figure out something, and I don't know who to ask for advice recently, but I just thought of Lord Guo, Lord Guo is the best in this, and it is just right to ask Lord Guo for advice." ”

Guo Heng's heart lifted up suddenly, and he pricked up his ears and waited to hear Shen Hong speak.

Shen Hongdao: "When I was outside, I heard some things, and I heard that there was a kind of tax, called treasury money, and god money, and food money, and the younger generation wanted to know what it was. ”

Guo Heng laughed, lowered his head and drank tea, thinking that sure enough, the people who came were not good, they were used to doing these things, which of them was not used to looking at the eyes in Beijing, and it was the first time that he was in front of the doorway, so he didn't dare to speak easily for a while, so he only said lightly.

"Lord Shen, where did you hear this?"

"When I was building water conservancy projects in the south, I heard the people talk about the hard life and the many names of taxation, but after listening to it a little, I was a little puzzled, and I thought there must have been some misunderstanding."

Guo Heng shook his head: "The people below are like this, there are no tigers and monkeys in the mountains who are called kings, and when they are far away from the Son of Heaven, they can do everything, and they are harsh on taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and it is really unheard of to have these names." ”

Shen Hong nodded, the two laughed, chatting happily, half an hour later, Guo Heng had a layer of cold sweat on his head, he could only force it and said: "Lord Shen, let's do this, it's really a little late today, I heard that your family is strictly controlled, and go back to eat first, and we will talk about it tomorrow." ”

Shen Hong nodded: "There is Master Lao Guo." ”

Guo Heng affectionately escorted Shen Hong out of the mansion all the way, beating drums up and down in his heart, thinking that Shen Hong was really determined, and he didn't mention Li Lingyue even a word.
