Then there is no more

Under the eager gaze of the emperor, General Shen finished this special imperial meal that was difficult to explain in words.

With a wave of his hand, the emperor told the waiters to get down, pointed to a seat beside him, and said, "Master Shen, sit down."

General Shen frowned in his heart, how dare he sit on an equal footing with the emperor.Alas, the emperor is not very old, and his heart is not big. It is not enough to give him a blow, but he still has to continue digging holes for him.No matter what he was thinking in his heart, General Shen remained calm and said, "I dare not."

If the mountain does not come, I will go to the mountain.The emperor left his seat, walked up to General Shen in two or three steps, took General Shen's hand, and said: "Lord Shen, I have an important matter on my mind for the past two days, and this matter concerns the lives of tens of thousands of people in the capital. Master Shen needs to do one thing..."

General Shen naturally didn't want to cause trouble for his upper body, so he said calmly: "Your Majesty, I have received the warrant from the Minister of War, and I will go back to the Northwest Army tomorrow." General Shen is not afraid of rejecting the Emperor, because the current Emperor is just A mascot, there are still a few years before he takes office!

The emperor was stunned, subconsciously showing a crying look.

General Shen wondered, it was the emperor who was making trouble for him, why did the emperor get wronged first?

"Master Shen, can't you stay for two more days?" The emperor asked eagerly, "I really need you very much!"

General Shen didn't say "yes", nor did he say "no", he just looked at the emperor silently, waiting for the emperor to figure it out.No matter how good the words are, they can't match the military order like a mountain.General Shen felt a little proud, the emperor, the emperor, as a mascot, don't challenge the authority of the Minister of War.

"In three days, there will be an earthquake in the capital. What will I do if you leave?" the emperor said.

General Shen was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked: "Is this the result calculated by Qintian monitoring? Have you notified all the ministers in the court?"

The emperor shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with Qin Tianjian. This is what I dreamed about."

General Shen: "..."

General Shen felt more and more that the emperor was playing with him.Can something like an earthquake be a joke?Did the emperor regard him as a fool?Although he is a general, he is not the kind of person who only has muscles but no brains!Cough, but when he was young, he lacked discipline, and he really didn't have much brains. Later, he was pressured by his wife to read some books... General Shen's thinking gradually diverged, thinking of his such a good wife, a smirk appeared on his face.

The emperor said very seriously: "Master Shen, if we ignore it, the earthquake in three days will cause heavy casualties, a large area of ​​houses in the south city will collapse, and after the earthquake, there will be plagues..." The emperor was forced to The natural disasters of sinning oneself are really not small natural disasters.Thinking of the scene in the dream, the emperor held General Shen's hand even harder: "I got advice from my ancestors in the dream, we must find a way..."

Although General Shen has no trust in the emperor, he can't say "you make it up, you continue to make it up" to the emperor, it's disrespectful!Anyway, he will pat his ass and leave tomorrow, so it’s okay to act according to the emperor’s will now, so he said: “The emperor’s blessings are as good as the sky, it’s the destiny, so that he can get the help of the ancestors in the dream. I am willing to trust the emperor, but other people may have other scruples, and may not be willing to mobilize the masses..."

Do you want everyone in the capital to toss about the emperor's dream?What is the difference between this and the princes of Fenghuo Opera?

Your Majesty, if you continue playing like this, you will definitely lose the throne.

Also, majesty, can you let go of my minister's hand?

The emperor didn't know what was really going on in General Shen's mind, he only heard the words on the surface, and said movedly: "With Lord Shen's trust, I feel much more relieved. To be honest, I have already thought about it. I will call all elders to discuss matters later, and I am willing to use the throne as a guarantee."

General Shen: "..."

Wait, aren't you playing with me? What's with this suddenly tragic atmosphere?

"No matter what opinions the elders have, I will make an announcement about the earthquake and tell everyone to take preventive measures. Master Shen, you will help me, right?" The emperor trusts General Shen the most. He felt that only by entrusting this matter to General Shen, could he be completely relieved.

If the emperor can really convince Elder Ge, then General Shen is only acting according to the order, even if he was busy for nothing, he can't be blamed.General Shen said: "It is the duty of the ministers to share the worries of the master. As long as the emperor makes an order, even if the ministers are asked to go up the mountain of swords or put the oil in the pan, the ministers will never refuse."

General Shen spoke very levelly, not only expressing his loyalty quietly, but also leaving room for himself.He must ask for an edict. With the imperial edict, the person in charge is the emperor, and his relationship is much smaller.No wonder he kept his eyes open, how many people can really believe in dreams?

With the support of General Shen, the emperor immediately sent someone to invite the elders.Time is running out, and every second must not be wasted.

The young master outside the palace also felt that time was running out.General Shen hadn't left the palace yet, so the Eldest Young Master didn't know that the itinerary had changed, thinking that they would be ordered to leave the capital tomorrow.So the young master just wanted to make a quick decision.The young master said to Uncle Ling: "I think the breakthrough point of this matter is still with the second lady, so we will investigate from the second lady." After realizing that there was something wrong with the second lady, the young master didn't even want to call out to the second aunt.

Uncle Ling frowned and asked, "Will you startle the snake?"

"I can't take care of it. Time is too short, and the most important thing is to find out the truth." The young master said.

There are only two outcomes to this matter.

One, the young master was not dropped; two, the young master was dropped.If the young master hadn't been dropped, then the reason why the second lady made that note was just to scare the young master?But if the eldest and young master is really switched... The Emperor Taizu has already proved that the blood test is not feasible.So, how can they prove that the little beggar is the real young master?How do they go about finding key evidence?

Shen Yi who was standing in the yard received a pigeon.There is a small bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's leg, and there is a note in it.After reading the note, Shen Yi went into the room and said to Eldest Young Master and Uncle Ling: "The news from Shen San, he found someone watching Xiao Su'er, do you want to arrest that person?"

The young master and Uncle Ling looked at each other.The eldest young master said to Shen Yi: "I'm going to find Shen San now, you go to check on the second wife's nanny's family." As the second wife is a housewife, there are not many people who can do things for her, and that nanny is obviously her confidant .Look up the wet nurse and she's sure to be right.

Shen nodded and quickly left the room.

The young master and Uncle Ling got into the carriage together and rushed to the suburbs.

When they saw Shen San, they also saw that beggar named Su'er from a distance.Even though Eldest Young Master and Uncle Ling were mentally prepared, they couldn't help but gasp.That little Su'er really looks like a great general, not just a normal one, but too much!

The young master's heart sank, and he summoned Shen San to answer.

According to Shen San, he found an idler nicknamed Leather Dog who likes to hang around the ruined temple, suspected to be watching Xiao Su'er.

"Where's the leather dog?" the young master asked.

Shen Sandao: "That man only comes here every evening, and he is not here now. But the subordinates already know where he lives."

The young master said: "You continue to guard here, tell Shen Er to go home and bring a few people, and invite the little beggar to his own village, and make sure that he is safe." After thinking about it, the young master reported again. He found an address in Nancheng and said, "Invite the couple from the Bian family to Zhuangzi."

Shen San faintly felt that Xiao Su'er was related to the Shen family, and it would be impolite for him to call her by her first name, but he didn't know what Xiao Su'er's real identity was. "He" instead, saying: "He is the child king of these beggars in the ruined temple, he will definitely not leave his companions and leave alone." Unless Xiao Su'er is directly stunned, there is definitely no way to use normal methods Take Xiao Suer away.

"Then take all the children away together," said the young master.

"Yes!" Shen San knew it in his heart.

The young master and Uncle Ling went directly to Pigou's house.Pigou is an idler, a bum, who doesn't go out to look for work during the day, and is lying on the bed and sleeping soundly.This saved Uncle Ling a lot of effort, he directly tied the leather dog tightly, and then splashed water on the leather dog's face to wake him up.

Uncle Ling had interrogated spies in the army, and even the most powerful spies could not survive a few rounds in his hands.So, without much effort, Pigou explained everything in tears.As expected, the leather dog was monitoring Xiao Su'er, and the monitoring started 12 years ago.

As an idler, Leather Dog would not be suspicious if he often wandered around the ruined temple.Someone asked Pi Gou to visit Xiao Su'er every day, and gave Pi Gou one tael of silver every month as a reward.This is an easy job, and the leather dog cannot be supported, and he lives on only one or two taels of silver every month.If there is an emergency that can't be dealt with by Xiao Su'er, Pigou will go to a department store in the north of the city to find the shopkeeper and tell the shopkeeper about it.

The infant mortality rate at this time was high.Little Su'er grew up in a ruined temple but survived. It's not because of his fate, but because of his "good luck".For example, Xiao Su'er had a high fever when he was one year old, and the old beggar had no money to see a doctor for him. Seeing that Xiao Su'er was about to die of illness, a compassionate doctor passed by and treated Xiao Su'er for free. Gave him medicine.For another example, the winter when Xiao Suer was four years old was extremely cold. If she didn't have thick clothes, the beggars would not be able to survive.It happened that a rich man donated old clothes, and Xiao Suer got a nice jacket.

But is it really because of Xiao Su'er's luck?no.Xiao Su'er had a high fever, it was an emergency, Pi Gou hurriedly reported the matter to the shopkeeper in Chengbei Department Store, and he got a reward of five taels of silver for it.Then, a kind doctor appeared on Xiao Su'er's side.

That is to say, behind Xiao Suer's "good luck", there is always the handwriting of the shopkeeper.

So, that shopkeeper is Xiao Su'er's nobleman?Nor is it true.Once, Xiao Su'er accidentally helped a lady a little while begging. The lady saw that Xiao Su'er was smart and smart, so she thought of adopting him.That lady is kind-hearted, isn't it better for Xiao Suer to follow her lady than to beg in a ruined temple?Pigou reported the matter to the shopkeeper, and then a group of people suddenly came to Xiao Su'er's side, insisting on accusing Xiao Su'er of stealing, and beat Xiao Su'er up.Seeing that the stolen goods were indeed found on Xiao Su'er, the lady was very disappointed, so she stopped thinking about adopting her.

There are many more such things.Xiao Suer is actually a very smart person.In spring, he led his companions to take a bath in the river, and then he picked flowers from the suburbs and sold them in the city.You can buy half a basket of delicate fresh flowers for a penny, and this business can definitely continue.Leather Gou reported the matter to the shopkeeper, and then the group of beggars who sold flowers were blackmailed by bums, and all the money they earned was lost.

It can be seen from this that the person who asked the leather dog to monitor Xiao Su'er, although he didn't want Xiao Su'er to die, he didn't want Xiao Su'er to live too well.There must be a lot of malice here.There was such a plot in the play, if you hate someone, you don't want that person to die quickly, and you insist on living in pain.

Uncle Ling saw that there was no more useful information out of the leather dog's mouth, so he knocked the leather dog unconscious with a knife.This leather dog is a personal ID, so Uncle Ling stuffed him into the carriage and took him away.They have to check the department store in the north of the city and see who is behind the department store.The person behind the department store must know Xiao Su'er's true identity, otherwise they wouldn't have been looking for someone to monitor Xiao Su'er since 12 years ago.

At the same time, Shen Yi also made some progress.

The second lady's nanny was named Zheng, married a husband named Lai, and had a son named Lai Bold.Although this Lai Bold is a slave, he didn't enter the master's house to serve him, instead he acted as a master outside the general's mansion!Outsiders don't know that Lai Bold is the second wife's nanny's son, they only think that Lai Bold has a way in the general's residence, because they dare not provoke him easily.Lai Bold is quite lecherous, not only spends a lot of money around Sister Hua, but also likes to molest her daughter-in-law.

Shen Yi's female costume looks pitiful and cute. On the only way Lai boldly goes home, he staged a show of selling himself to bury his father, and successfully entered the gate of Lai's house.
