Chapter 63

The warm blood rolled down the torture platform, and the closer it went, the thicker the bloody smell became.

Rong Jin's bloodless face became more and more pale, he held his breath, and his steps couldn't help but slow down.

As if sensing her discomfort, Changfeng turned around and explained in a low voice: "These people are all extremely evil, and there are countless people who have died because of their greed and perversion of the law......

The implication is that they are innocent of death.

Rong Jin understands that these people were brought out by Shen Yu to make an example of the chickens and monkeys, so they are naturally carefully selected, and they will never wronged anyone.

Just because you know it in your heart doesn't mean that your body can handle it calmly.

But Shen Yu's gaze fell on her, and his face, which was originally as cold as ice and snow, seemed to loosen slightly, and looked at her condescendingly.

She couldn't retreat, so she could only walk towards him step by step.

When Rong Jin went out, she was just dressed as an ordinary person, which was inconspicuous at first glance, and she looked like she had low eyebrows and drooping eyes, standing behind Shen Yu with her hands down, and everyone only regarded her as just an ordinary maid.

Unexpectedly, Shen Xiang, who barely raised his eyelids from beginning to end, moved, turned around and said something, and then handed her the stove on his lap casually.

Everyone present was a good observer, and because of this, they glanced at the maid a few more times, but they were shocked by Shen Yu's cold gaze and lowered their heads.

"These people are appointed officials of the imperial court, and they are guilty of the emperor's grace and ashamed of the people of Li, so they are punished to set an example."

Shen Yu stood with his hands in his hands, his tone was flat, but everyone involuntarily buried their heads lower, bent their backs, but the people around them applauded.

The old man who had fainted finally woke up, and when he saw this situation, he almost had to roll his eyes again, Xun Shuo's eyes quickly took a needle, and he pinched his person heavily.

Although the man collapsed on the seat, he did not pass out again.

Shen Yu lowered his eyes and looked at him, and waited until the heart-rending cough stopped, and then he spoke: "Under natural disasters and man-made disasters, famine is everywhere, I heard that the Yuanweng clan has ten warehouses of grain, are you willing to donate generously to help Jiangnan survive this catastrophe?" ”

His attitude did not seem to be tough, but consultative.

The previous time, the heads of the family dared to find a reason to cry poor, but this time they looked at the bloodstains on the execution table not far away, but they couldn't say a word.

Jiangnan is the richest in Huzhou, and Huzhou is the most generous in the Yuan family, and he was secretly headed by the old man before, thinking of bargaining with Shen Yu, who knew that Shen Yu directly lifted the table.

The old man didn't dare to look at the torture table, but the bloody aura in the air could not be ignored, and the blood in his chest surged, and in the end, only a thick weakness remained.

He covered his heart and said miserably: "Don't dare to disobey." ”

The one who picked the head was soft, and the others were even more in danger, and they didn't dare to get along with Shen Yu, so they said yes.

One by one, they lowered their heads and fell like chickens in soup.

The originally cold fingers gradually warmed up a little, Rong Jin held the stove, and his eyes turned from the embarrassed crowd to Shen Yu.

She listened to it and understood that Shen Yu did not appear here to observe the punishment, in the final analysis, it was to force the group of wealthy businessmen in front of her to submit.

Now that he has got what he wants, Shen Yu's face is not colorful, as if all this is a matter of course, and there is nothing worthy of him

Xing.

The specific disaster relief matters are arranged by their own subordinate officials, and Shen Yu does not need to do it himself.

Rong Jin followed Shen Yu down the steps and went to the carriage waiting not far away.

After tossing for most of the day, she didn't have much energy, she wanted to rest after getting in the car, but she sat down, but was grabbed by Shen Yu and led in front of her.

His hands were distinct, cold and hard, his fingers were clasped, and each other's body temperatures were gradually impregnated.

Rong Jin was led to sit beside him, and he didn't struggle, just leaned on the carriage listlessly, feeling Shen Yu's pulse gradually stabilize, and breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly.

Amid the sound of rolling wheels, Shen Yu suddenly asked, "Where did you go today?" ”

"Accompanied Shopkeeper Xie to the Immortal Temple outside the city."

Rong Jin didn't explain who the "shopkeeper Xie" in her mouth was, because she knew that Shen Yu was clear, so she didn't bother to speak.

Shen Yu played with her slender hand and said intentionally or unintentionally: "I thought you would intercede for her." ”

Rong Jin's fingertips moved slightly, remembering that when she got down from the Xie family's carriage not long ago, Xie Qiutong looked at her with obvious hesitation and earnestness.

Xie Qiutong knows Rong Jin's identity, she can be regarded as Shen Yu's "pillow person", and she may be able to speak. But after getting along with each other these days, I also saw her difficulties.

Therefore, she can't do things that make her embarrassed by whispering and pleading, but she can't ignore it.

"If I intercede for her...... Rong Jin didn't move, still sitting impartially, "Will you change your mind and don't need Chen Yu?" ”

Shen Yu will not.

He went south this time to clean up this mess, and with such a useful person as Chen Yu, why bother to seek the near and far

, what about the empty effort?

Shen Yu hooked her fingertips, as if teasing, and seemed to coax: "If you don't try, how do you know?" ”

Rong Jin struggled uncomfortably, and refused to bite his hook.

It is difficult to generalize about this matter.

The flood in the south of the Yangtze River destroyed countless houses and fertile fields, and I don't know how many lives were devoured in them. If he can get good talents, manage the water and build embankments, he will be able to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past in the future.

How to choose between righteousness and personal affection should be chosen by Chen Yu himself.

In his brief relationship with Chen Yu, Rong Jin was able to get a glimpse of his bias, and because of this, he was reluctant to interfere too much in this matter.

After thinking about it, Rong Jin turned his face to look at Shen Yu, and only said: "Lord Chen is not in good health, and the shopkeeper Xie is pregnant again, so it is inevitable to think and worry a lot, if there is anything that offends you tonight, I hope you don't take it to heart." ”

Shen Heng had also mentioned this reason before, Shen Yu didn't take it to heart at that time, but now when he heard Rong Jin mention it again, the focus couldn't help but deviate, falling on the word "pregnant", and his eyes also fell on Rong Jin's flat lower abdomen.

Rong Jin didn't notice that she couldn't withdraw her hand, so she simply let him go, closed her eyes and recuperated.

In the evening, Chen Yu came with an invitation as scheduled.

Just as Rong Jin guessed, Xie Qiutong also accompanied him and came to Meiyuan together.

The two of them still met here for the first time, as if they had pressed the invisible shackles, and they were not as comfortable as in Ruyizhai, and they only bowed their heads to greet each other after meeting.

Shen Heng had some friendship with Chen Yu in the past, and he was also afraid of extraneous branches, so he came to accompany him this time.

Rong Jin added tea for a few people,

Then he exited the study and took the door.

Bai Rui bit a piece of cloud cake, stood under the porch with his sleeves, looked up at the sky, and said vaguely: "It seems that it may snow tomorrow." ”

"Really?" Rong Jin looked at her like her, but didn't see anything, and quipped, "You still watch the sky?" ”

"My aunt who used to teach the piano will, I learned a little bit of fur." Bai Rui didn't deliberately avoid her origin, swallowed the pastry, and leaned in front of Rong Jin, "Sister, I want to ask you for something......

Rong Jin saw that she didn't seem to be joking, and smiled slightly: "You say it first." ”

"If you leave with Shen Xiang in the future, can you take me with you?" Bai Rui didn't wait for Rong Jin to speak, and hurriedly explained, "I don't have any other thoughts, I just want to be a servant girl for you, serving tea and pouring water, folding quilts and making beds, how can it be better than staying in this mansion......"

This morning, she heard that a sister who had been given away had been beaten to death by her mother, and she wiped away her tears for a while, and couldn't help worrying about her future.

Rong Jin was helpless: "I still have to serve tea and pour water for others." ”

"How is this the same?" Bai Rui couldn't think of a better way to say it for a while, so she was stunned and said, "Shen Xiang, he likes you." ”

Rong Jin was slightly stunned, shook his head and laughed: "Silly girl." ”

But he didn't argue with Bai Rui about this, just pinched her cheek and said softly: "If there is a chance, I will think of ideas." ”

The discussion in the study did not last long, and the door opened from the inside after about half a burnt incense.

The first to go out was Xie Qiutong. Her shoulders collapsed slightly, listless, and her eyes were red under a closer look, but she didn't cry until she held on.

Chen Yu followed.

He put Xie Qiutong's big coat in the crook of his arm, tied it for her, put on a hood, and gently and carefully groomed her sideburns.

Husband and wife shook their fingers and walked away hand in hand.

The lanterns hanging under the eaves shone a soft light, and the long shadows of the two were reflected in one place, revealing a little warmth in this cold night.

Not long after, Shen Heng left.

Rong Jin went to the study at this time, only to see that the tea had barely moved, and Shen Yu was sitting there alone, as if he was distracted, and he looked a little lonely.

Rong Jin reminded softly: "If it's okay, it's better to rest early." ”

Shen Yu didn't move, but said to her, "You come to help me." ”

He didn't drink alcohol, and he didn't look like an old injury, Rong Jin didn't know which one it was, but he still stepped forward to help Shen Yu as he said. It was only when his fingertips touched his sleeve that he held hands again.

I don't know when he seems to like skin-to-skin blind dates, and he always wants to do this in private, and Rong Jin doesn't hide anymore.

Shen Yu leaned back slightly, raised his eyes to look at Rong Jin's beautiful and peaceful face, and suddenly asked, "If I die one day, will you cry for me?" ”

He said the word "death" so commonly that Rong Jin was stunned before he reacted, realizing that he might have seen the couple Chen Yu and Xie Qiutong, and it was rare to have some feelings.

Rong Jin sighed, and said lightly: "How can you curse yourself like this?" ”

"I know," Shen Yu pierced directly, "You won't." ”

Rong Jin was speechless for a while.

Shen Yu's eyes lowered, fell on her slender waist, and said lightly: "Rong Jin, don't take medicine, give birth to a child for me." ”！
