Cannot attack objects

The so-called specialization in martial arts, when Chen Li and Liao Xiu, who had complex expressions, chatted with Liao Xiu, and Liao Xiu also knew everything under Zhong Shao's gesture, the three of them quickly chatted passionately, but Zhong Shao The original master couldn't speak for a while.

Fortunately, Zhong Shao didn't care, and just took Su Mo together, sitting quietly and listening.

If the evidence left by Qu Hengzhou points more to Qi Lei's corruption and bribery for power and personal gain, then what Liao Xiu said today points more to the prison.In other words, it means disregarding human life or seizing people's property on the basis of crimes.

Of course, most of these things were not done by Qi Lei himself, but no matter whether they were servants in the mansion or relatives in the clan, they all acted in his name when doing things outside.So they got into trouble, and the officials below didn't dare to pursue it because of the face of Mr. Governor.

Liao Xiu didn't know all of these things, but he had heard about them, and he had even handled several cases himself.It's a pity that nothing happened in the end, even the file was taken away by Qi Lei.However, he kept his eyes open. For all the cases that passed his hands, he left some key evidence, and he never persecuted the sufferer, so he can still find those people until now.

Liao Xiu brought those evidences today, along with the dossiers he had copied in private.

After Zhong Shao flipped through it casually, although he was angry, he was not surprised.In fact, when she first arrived at the governor's mansion that day and saw the arrogant appearance of the servants of the governor's mansion, she had already guessed that this group of people were domineering on weekdays, and it was not surprising that they could cause such troubles.Now she just watched the excitement with the file, but Chen and Li looked at the evidence and talked about the case with Liao Xiu.

Zhong Shao was not interested in hearing the details of the case, so he felt bored after sitting for a while.She turned her head to look at Su Mo, Su Mo met her gaze and asked in a low voice, "But you feel bored?"

Zhong Shao nodded, so Su Mo didn't say anything, and pulled her to get up and leave.The other three people were probably engrossed in discussing the case, but they didn't even raise their eyelids, maybe they didn't realize that there were two people missing from their side.

The two walked out of the cabin, the rain outside was still falling, and the thin and dense rain fell into the lake, causing ripples.

Zhong Shao held up an oiled paper umbrella, and stood at the bow of the boat with Su Mo to watch the scenery.The mountains are far away and the water is near, the smog is hazy, and there is a feeling like falling into a dream in a trance.Occasionally, there are boats passing by on a rainy day, but other people's boats are more lively than theirs. Every time they pass by, they can hear the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras floating slowly, and then gradually go away after passing by. .

A bustle was ushered in, and a bustle was sent away.Zhong Shao stretched out her hand from under the umbrella to catch the rain, but the drizzle in the south of the Yangtze River only covered her hand with a thin layer of water droplets, so she didn't take her hand back in a hurry, but suddenly said with emotion: " The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is so beautiful, it really makes people linger and forget to leave.”

Su Mo's eyes lingered on Zhong Shao's hand catching the rain for a moment, she knew that Zhong Shao might not be in love with the Misty Rain in the south of the Yangtze River, she was just tired of Beijing's calculations.But she didn't point it out, just smiled and said: "The scenery is different everywhere in the north and south of the river. There is misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and the sunset in the north. If you have a chance in the future, you might as well go and see them all."

Zhong Shao nodded with sparkling eyes, feeling a little yearning in his heart for a moment.But soon, she thought of Concubine Yu Gui who "had high hopes" on her, the prince with ulterior motives, and the system hosts around her all the time...

I'm so tired!Don't even dare to think about the future, let's just focus on the present.

*****************************************************

The rain outside stopped and fell continuously for most of the day, and the lake tour lasted a little too long. A group of people boarded the boat from Sishi and stayed in the lake until Shenshichu before letting the boatman return.

Liao Xiu put on the coir raincoat and bamboo hat again just like when he came, and was quietly picked up by a small boat in the middle of the lake.

Before going ashore, Zhong Shao also had a few open and honest words with Chen and Li, and she didn't mention anything else, she just reminded them: "The Qi family has been operating in Suzhou for many years, and the governor's eyeliner is everywhere in this city of Suzhou. Whatever your attitude was before, please stay the same after you go ashore."

The two of them suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Zhong Shao had spoken to them so bluntly in the street before, and it was also difficult for her to find Liao Xiu under such surveillance.Although none of the criminal evidence provided by Liao Xiu has anything to do with the tribute matter, but the evidence he gave is a breakthrough. They can send the evidence back to Dali Temple first, and then dismiss Qi Lei's official position Pay attention to him again!

After understanding this, he recalled that he talked about the case when he met Liao Xiu before. Before he could apologize to Zhong Shao, Master Chen immediately raised his hand and bowed to Zhong Shao, saying: "Your Majesty is far-sighted. , please forgive me, don’t blame me for being stupid.”

Mr. Chen's straightforward temper, Zhong Shao and the others have already learned it along the way, so naturally they didn't take his outrageous words to heart before, not to mention that this person is so well-bred that he can't even swear.So Zhong Shao waved his hand, still smiling nonchalantly: "What did Mr. Chen say? I think I said too much before, and made the two gentlemen very angry."

After talking about some things, I don't think there is anything worth worrying about.Just like before, Chen and Li were furious when they were ridiculed by Zhong Shao, now they are calm and even let the matter go with a laugh.

The boat will be docking soon, and Zhong Shao looked at Master Chen with a bit of worry: "Master Chen has a straightforward temper, don't let him show his flaws for a while, and make people suspicious."

Mr. Chen still looked serious, but raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "Everyone speaks official characters. Who can't act?"

Sure enough, after the group of people went ashore, Mr. Chen flicked his sleeves and left with a livid face. Even Mr. Li, who was traveling with him, ignored him, and his face was a bit uglier than when he boarded the boat at noon.When people see him, they will feel that he is full of anger, so that pedestrians on the road will subconsciously avoid him when they meet him, leaving him an unimpeded path.

Master Li quickly chased after him, and Zhong Shao couldn't help but wonder in his heart when he saw Master Chen's angry back: After all, he is a person who can be an official in the capital. Don't look as straightforward as usual, he is also a person when acting. Veteran!

After marveling, Zhong Shao quickly looked away, turned his head and said to Su Mo nonchalantly, "Ah Mo, I missed lunch from the lake tour before, how about we find a restaurant for dinner first?"

Su Mo was about to nod when he heard the words, but out of the corner of his eyes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar guard rushing towards him.So she changed her words immediately, and said, "It seems that someone has been found from the other courtyard, and there must be something wrong."

Zhong Shao also followed Su Mo's line of sight, and sure enough, he saw a guard from the princess mansion rushing over, and he seemed to be holding something in his hand?After much thought, she couldn't figure out what would happen in the other courtyard, so she took Su Mo to meet him and asked, "What happened?"

The guard didn't pay attention to Zhong Shao, he leaned slightly and presented the things in his hand to Su Mo: "Miss, a letter from the capital." After a short pause, he added: "It's the urgent request from Duke Jing's mansion." The letter was sent by someone specially.”

As soon as these words came out, both Su Mo and Zhong Shao were a little confused.It is really that the Duke's Mansion is usually too quiet, and the presence in front of them is far less than that of the Princess Mansion, so that now that the Duke's Mansion has sent a letter, the two of them have no idea what is going on.

Su Mo accepted the letter from the guard, looked up at him and asked, "What did the sender say?"

The guard seemed to hesitate for a moment, then raised his eyes carefully to look at Su Mo, and then said softly: "Miss Hui, I heard that the old Duke is not well..."

Su Mo Naxin's hand froze suddenly, and the whole person seemed to be frozen in place, with a rare daze on his face.

Seeing this, Zhong Shao hesitated for a moment, then took the letter away from Su Mo's hand. She opened the envelope and read the letter at a glance. Then she frowned and looked at Su Mo and said, "The old man was surprised. Falling from a horse, when you are dying, Uncle tells you to return to Beijing as soon as possible!"

To be honest, although Zhong Shao has been to Duke Jing's mansion many times, he doesn't have much impression of Duke Jing himself.Maybe it's because the eldest princess has been ruthless in recent years, and Jing Guogong was a little angry with Su Mo and her, so he didn't meet him a few times.However, she still remembered that he was a hale and hearty old man, and he spoke with even more air. Words like dying or passing away seemed to be far away from him.

This time the news came so suddenly, Zhong Shao couldn't help looking at Su Mo worriedly, she thought that the relationship between the grandfather and grandson was not close, so Su Mo would not care too much and be too sad, but in fact blood is thicker than water, in the After hearing the news suddenly, Su Mo's face turned pale.Her hands clenched into fists, she looked at Zhong Shao blankly, and then at the letter in her hand.

Su Mo is usually calm and calm, and occasionally becomes aggressive, but this is the first time Zhong Shao has seen such a pale and fragile appearance.She was a little flustered, and hurriedly reached out to hold Su Mo's hand, only to realize that the other's hand was already icy cold.

Holding Su Mo's hand in his palm to warm it, Zhong Shao didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only ask, "Ah Mo, Ah Mo, are you okay? I'll accompany you back to Beijing now, maybe we can see you again On the last side of the old man..."

Hearing Zhong Shao's words, Su Mo blinked again blankly, and finally came back to his senses.Her lips were tightly pursed, she only glanced at Zhong Shao, then turned her head and told the guards beside her, "Pack up your things and return to Beijing immediately!"

The guards agreed and surrounded the two of them back to the other courtyard.It only took half an hour to pack up, Qing Luo was left behind, and Hong Ping didn't notify, the group left Suzhou in a hurry on horseback, and rushed to the capital overnight.

The author has something to say:

The old man must die a worthy death, and he is about to enter the next stage. Guess what the next stage is?
