Xiao Er listened to it with relish, but there were many allusions that he didn't know, so he was busy taking a pen and paper to record it on the spot, and he could read it to the guests in the future. Li Yijie was secretly surprised, and said: "Yun'er, you know so much, have you ever drunk this wine?" Shen Shiyun smiled: "I have never drunk a drop of wine, but I have heard my father say this to my uncle and third uncle before, and I also said that one day when I go to Xiliu, I must drink it." ”

Li Yijie clapped his hands and smiled: "Wonderful, Lord Lingzun and I are confidants in the wine, if you can see it, it will be fast to drink three glasses at the same table." But seeing Shen Shiyun's eyelashes hanging down and her face sad, she remembered that her father was no longer alive, and her words inadvertently caused her sadness. Immediately coughed dryly, raised his glass and said, "Drink, drink." ”

Nangong Xue was displeased when she saw Shen Shiyun's big showmanship. When Li Yijie wanted to pour more wine, he gently pressed his hand and said in a low voice: "Senior brother, don't drink anymore!" Li Yijie said strangely: "Why?"

Nangong Xue's face was slightly red, and she said angrily: "Because you are happy when you drink wine, like this, what people say is what they say!" She was referring to Shen Shiyun, but Li Yijie would be wrong, and said: "Don't worry, I will ignore what Master Cao says later, I am already sorry, and if I refuse his good intention to invite us to drink, it will be a crime on a crime!" Jiang Yanchen smiled faintly and said, "It's okay, Brother Li is a spectator." Dare to ask Lord Cao what he has to say. ”

Cao Zhenyan said: "Yesterday, Jiang Gongzi once said, 'The Tao is different, not conspiring with each other', and all these recent reasons are due to this. The government has other plans, Jiang Gongzi is excellent in martial arts, and the government is very admired. Now the situation in the world has been decided, the Ming Dynasty and that Li Zicheng are exhausted, and the entry of the Qing soldiers into the customs is also a day and night, and this mansion belongs to the flag of the regent. The prince has a task with me, and before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, he initially settled the Central Plains ......"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a very miserable cry from downstairs, dragging on for a long time, as if it was made by an old woman. I heard the second class shouting in a gossipy voice: "Our store is temporarily closed today." "Where did you come from, crazy woman, get out quickly!" Cao Zhenyan frowned slightly, picked up his wine glass, and said, "Jiang Gongzi, please." The two drank, Cao Zhenyan was about to speak, but saw an old woman stumbling upstairs, wearing tattered clothes, full of dishes, and another Xiao Er caught up and pulled, cursing in her mouth.

Cao Zhenyan stood up and said angrily: "What are you doing?" This government has instructed that you will entertain distinguished guests today, and no idle people are allowed to enter, do you just regard it as a deaf ear?" The little two said in a panic: "The villain doesn't dare......! This crazy woman broke in, shouting that she wanted to sue, and she was desperate, but we didn't dare to stop her. Cao Zhenyan said impatiently: "Sue her, let her go to the county office! What are you doing here?"

The old woman had already rushed to the front, grabbed the hem of Cao Zhenyan's shirt, and cried: "County office, I'm going, not to mention the big master who solved the case, I haven't even seen half a ghost! My lord, you have to make the decision for me, that group of sand thieves who killed a thousand knives came to my house last night to rob the silver, we are poor scholars, that little bit of all the belongings......" Xiao Er kicked her in the waist and scolded: "A little silver, what is the tightness? Why didn't the sand thieves cut your old bones with a knife and fall clean?"

The old woman said: "If it's just silver taels, after all, it's something outside the body, and it's just that, and the right to destroy wealth and eliminate disasters." Can...... But they have taken my grandson away from home, and they want us to ransom us with two taels of silver, how can there be such insidious and greedy people? They want ransom, and they don't leave us a penny and a half, how can this amount be paid? Ouch! My miserable grandson! What hope is there when it falls into the hands of the sand thieves? Pity me, who has buried half of the loess, and now I want the white-haired man to send the black-haired man......" He cried hoarsely.

Shen Shiyun felt sorry for her, helped her up and sat beside her, stroked her gray silver hair, and said softly: "Old woman, I can understand your feelings, I ...... There is a best sister who died at the hands of the sand thieves not long ago. Thinking of the tragic death of the vial, I couldn't help but feel sad, and my eyes were red. The old woman looked at her for a long time with a pair of teary eyes, and a pair of muscular hands trembled and stroked her cheeks, and said mournfully, "Good...... Good girl...... The sand thieves have done a lot of evil, and my good grandson is far away, and now he is the same age as you......"

Shen Shiyun was even more merciful, and gently hugged the old woman into his arms, and the two hugged each other and cried. After a while, Shen Shiyun gently pushed her away, took a piece of "candied date cake" from the plate, put it in her hand, and persuaded: "Don't be too sad, I believe that good and evil will be rewarded, and the sand thieves will definitely not end well." The remote son Ji Ren Tianxiang, it's going to be fine, you eat something first, and then we'll think about saving him, okay?"

The old woman finally nodded, then took a bite, and then turned to Cao Zhenyan and said, "My lord, when will you send people to save my grandson?" Cao Zhenyan didn't look at her, just poured his own wine, and said coldly: "What kind of manpower to dispatch?

Shen Shiyun couldn't see this for a long time, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, walked straight to Cao Zhenyan, and said in a crisp voice: "Lord Cao, saying this is too chilling, isn't it? As a prefect, how can you be so careless about people's lives and ignore the safety of the people? If even the most basic happiness of a common household cannot be guaranteed, what kind of nonsense is 'the country is stable, and the people are happy'?" Sand thieves are rampant not these days, you ignore them, and in vain encourage their arrogance; besides, the tragic incident of the destruction of the Shadowless Mountain Villa is also a big case, and you still sit idly by, it was the act of the Shadow Sacrifice Sect, are you afraid of them? Don't you dare to provoke them? When people talk about you, Lord Cao, they say that you are just a person who bullies the weak and fears the hard, and is greedy for life and afraid of death!"

Everyone knew Shen Shiyun for the first time, and they saw that she had always been soft and weak, how could they expect that standing in front of a big man who had the power to control her life and death at this moment, she could not be afraid of it, and still make righteous and stern accusations, Nangong Xue couldn't help but secretly applaud. Jiang Yanchen focused on the other side, and after hearing this, he put the wine glass on the table heavily, and said, "Miss Yun, you are very concerned about the affairs of the Shadowless Villa." ”

Shen Shiyun's whole body shook slightly, to say that among this group of companions, except for Nangong Xue who gave her a little look from time to time, everyone else treated her very well, but this person made her unpredictable. On the surface, he always seems to be gloomy and indifferent, but secretly he knows everything, has his true identity been seen through to him? Cao Zhenyan raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you talking about Miss Yun? Is it the famous Oiran of the Jingxi Agarwood Academy after Mu Qingyan? It is really ridiculous! A woman in a Qinglou is also worthy of talking to this mansion like this?"

Shen Shiyun's teeth gently bit her lower lip, Li Yijie saw her sad expression, and was a little frightened, only saying that she must have felt humiliated, got up and stepped forward, deliberately protected her behind her, and said tepidly to Cao Zhenyan: "People in the world can manage the affairs of the world." The reason why Yun'er once fell into the Agarwood Courtyard was because of her own hardships, and now she has also left that place, Lord Cao, you are also a well-informed person, and the worldly view, how can you not see it like this? His words were both positive and negative, and his words were very sharp.

Cao Zhenyan laughed angrily and said, "What a 'man in the world can manage the affairs of the world'!" Li Shaoxia, how about you take care of the sand thieves for this mansion since you have nothing to do?"

Li Yijie rushed up angrily, and thought: "Yun'er's revenge with the sand thieves is as deep as the sea, if I can help her get revenge, she will definitely like it very much." It can also eliminate harm for the people, so why not. Immediately said loudly: "Okay, what's so difficult about this! Yun'er, don't worry, I will definitely give you a breath!" Jiang Yanchen suddenly said: "Slow, the sand thieves are treacherous and don't keep their promises, I still have personal affairs with them, and I can go alone." As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared at the corner of the stairs. Li Yijie scratched his head and said to himself: "Are you very familiar with the sand thieves?

Jiang Yanchen came downstairs and immediately went straight to the wine cellar. He knew that since the sand thieves had come to Chang'an, he would never miss the wine of this first restaurant. Pushing the door in, he saw that the sand thieves were sitting cross-legged and drinking happily as they had at the first meeting. A black lacquered dart box is left alone in the corner. When everyone heard the sound of the door, they each touched the hilt of their swords, and when they saw the visitors, they were all very happy.

Boss Sha stood up, picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile: "It turned out that Brother Jiang was here, it's good that you're fine." Earlier, on the ship, several of my brothers were reckless, and Jiang Engong was under siege, and I have always been very worried. Sha Lao Er smiled and said: "Big brother, I said a long time ago, how could Jiang Gongzi be planted in the hands of a few officers and soldiers?" Sha Lao laughed, stretched out the wine bowl, and said: "Jiang Engong, all the brothers are grateful, this bowl of wine is for you." Jiang Yanchen raised his hand slightly, pushed the edge of the bowl tilted, and all the wine spilled on the ground.

Boss Sha's face sank, and then he turned relieved, and said with a smile: "This inferior wine, Brother Jiang can't look down on it." Li Laosan, why are you still stunned? Hurry up and give Brother Jiang the wine to catch the wind!" Jiang Yanchen said coldly: "Don't be busy. Tired of your bamboo basket to fetch water, empty confession busy, has been considered ineffective, pick up the wind, it is ashamed to be. Boss Sha heard what he said, and said strangely: "Why did Brother Jiang say this?"

Jiang Yanchen glanced at the dart box and said, "That broken copper and iron dart box, you still have it, I don't know which play to do in front of me?" Jiang Yanchen sneered: "If you hadn't opened the box, you should have waited in Jingxi now, how could you come to Chang'an to throw yourself into the net?

Sha Lao Dao: "If Brother Jiang really doesn't believe it, Sha has nothing to do." But since the dart box said that it had not seen it, it did not have seen it. Halfway through our voyage, we thought that there were still brothers who had been captured and fallen into the hands of officers and soldiers, and if we left them behind, our conscience would be disturbed after all, so we turned to Chang'an to save people. As for stealing silver and capturing hostages at Tang's house last night, they were all actions to attract the attention of the government. ”

Jiang Yanchen pondered: "This group of people is very stupid, and they can't make up this statement in a moment, and it is really no good for them to lie to me like this." With a peaceful face, he said: "In this way, you are a person who values love and righteousness, and I will compensate you for it." Sha Boss hurriedly said, "Don't dare." Jiang Yanchen turned around and said awe-inspiringly: "Then I will make a deal with you, you let the soup go first, and leave everything to me to save your brother." When that's done, give me the dart box. Without waiting for Boss Sha to answer, he was out of the cellar in a flash. It really comes and goes like the wind, without a trace.

Sha Lao Er shouted: "Gongzi Jiang, this ......" He was about to say that this matter was inappropriate, but he was already trembling on his head. Boss Sha brushed his sleeves and said: "What are you shouting about? If people really want to rob the dart, can we hold it? I am afraid that we will be killed again after losing both personal wealth and money, and now he is willing to talk to us about the conditions and rescue the trapped brothers for us, we are grateful to Dade!"
