Tang riddles

It is a common thing for people to catch a cold and get sick. It is not a serious illness at all, but when you encounter something soothing and joyful, you will naturally recover quickly.After a dose of medicine, Zhang Ruohan fell asleep under the quilt, sweating, and recovered from his illness.Shen Sui took her pulse again personally, confirmed that the cold air was gone, told Wu Ya what food to cook for her in the near future, and left.

In the Governor's Mansion, it is actually difficult to avoid the eyes and ears of others.After Shen Sui and Zhang Ruohan moved into the Governor's Mansion, they had a very close relationship and had an ambiguous relationship. They would not shy away from entering each other's rooms, and gradually rumors spread.Someone even saw that Shen Suiyu embraced Zhang Ruohan on the night when he checked into the Governor's Mansion, and sent her back to his room.

Inferior people, the rumors spread are quite nasty, saying that the two of them couldn't hold back as soon as they entered the governor's mansion, Zhang Ruohan took the initiative to enter Shen Sui's room for a private meeting, until he was exhausted at night, and was carried back to the room by the man.

The ability of these people to make up stories is really one set, selectively ignoring the door that Shen Sui opened wide that day, as well as the bluebirds, Wuya, Qianhe, Shen Jin and others who came and went.

Zhang said that he didn't believe it, but based on his understanding of his niece, he knew that the lotus maid was determined not to do such a thing.It's just that it was true that Shen Sui didn't go to the banquet that night, he decided to inquire first, so as not to prevent the young man from doing something wrong.

In fact, it’s nothing big to do something wrong, it’s just that the order is reversed, and the two are married, isn’t it the same thing?In this way, there is no need to worry about whether Shen Sui will not marry, and the lotus maid will not marry.

The former Prime Minister twirled his beard and laughed a few times, and went to look for Shen Sui with square steps. His appearance was so indescribably wretched that Manchu civil and military officials saw it, and their eyes must have dropped out of shock.Probably only a sage could keep calm and laugh along with the prime minister.

The original reason why Shen Sui and others moved into the Governor's Mansion was that they needed to wait for news here.Wait for the news that the officers and soldiers have arrested several juniors of the Zhou family.Later, there were still some interrogation matters, and Shen Sui wanted to do it himself.In addition, it is waiting for the magistrate of Fengjie County to complete the handover procedures and transfer the criminal Mrs. Zhang Ruijin to the prison of Jiangling Prefecture. This process may take seven to eight days.

Zhang Ruijin himself is a native of Fengjie County, where he was arrested. It stands to reason that Fengjie County should be responsible for the trial.But because the case she committed was on the border of Jiangling Mansion, it was also the first case filed and investigated by Jiangling Mansion, and the circumstances of the case were particularly serious and vile, so the case had to be transferred to Jiangling Mansion for trial.This program is a must.

During this period of time, it can be regarded as a break for the imperial envoy and investigation team who have been exhausted for a long time to rest and relax.Jiangling Prefecture is the most prosperous capital in the Jianghan area, with many scenic spots and historical sites, and a gathering of humanities, it is an excellent tourist destination.Since Pei Yaoqing and Liu Yucheng arrived in Jiangling Mansion, they would go out to enjoy sightseeing every day.It's just that Pei Yaoqing went more to the docks and river banks, while Liu Yucheng liked to run to restaurants and fireworks places, and the two couldn't go together.

Shen Sui was not in the mood to go sightseeing at all, Zhang Ruohan was ill, and she stayed by Zhang Ruohan's side for the first two days after entering Jiangling Mansion.After her condition finally improved, news of the arrest of the four juniors of the Zhou family came unexpectedly.They have been arrested, and none of the four slipped through the net. They are now on their way back to Jiangling Mansion.Shen Sui was overjoyed, left Zhang Ruohan in a hurry, went back to his room, laid out paper and rubbed ink, and was about to write to Qin Zhen, telling him that the case would make great progress, and Dali Temple should be ready to open the library to check the records at any time .

Just before she picked up her pen and dropped the paper, Zhang Shuo stepped through her open door and walked in.

Shen Sui had no choice but to put down his pen and stepped forward to greet him.

"Zhang Gong, why did you come here suddenly today?"

"Come and see you, Bo Zhao." Zhang said with a smile and looked at her, his eyes were full of love and appreciation.He stretched out his hand to grab Shen Sui's wrist, and patted the back of her hand. There was an inexplicable kindness and teasing in his smile, which made Shen Sui a little uncomfortable.

"Mr. Zhang...cough, why are you so happy today?"

"Bo Zhao, let me ask you, have you ever entered the room of the lotus maid?" Zhang Yue asked suddenly.

Shen Sui paused for a moment, forced his expression of astonishment to burst out, and said dully:

"Ms. Zhang San is seriously ill. Sui Po is good at medicine. Please take care of her. Please don't worry, Mr. Zhang. Sui Jue will not overstep."

Zhang said that he frowned in dissatisfaction, and asked again:

"I just entered the governor's mansion that night, you will go to the banquet in the future, and the lotus maid will also come..." The words were not finished, but there was already a point.

Shen Sui shook his head again and again, and hurriedly denied:

"Sui was exhausted physically and mentally on that day, and he took a rest early after taking a bath. Mrs. Zhang San may be ill, so it's inconvenient to go to the banquet."

Zhang said that he was even more dissatisfied, and his brows furrowed even more.

"Someone saw you carrying the lotus maid back to the room that night?"

"It's probably a mistake. Sui never left the room that night." Shen Sui said.

"It's true that the lotus maid did not go to your room that day?"

"No. How could Mrs. Zhang San enter the men's room at will." Shen Sui laughed.

"Pedantic!" Zhang said angrily, and threw Shen Sui's hand away, Shen Sui stared with big eyes in a daze.

Zhang said that he seemed to feel something was wrong, so he quickly calmed down his anger and explained with a smile:

"Bo Zhao, you need to get in touch with the lotus maid more. I can see that you have feelings for her, and she doesn't reject you. You two are such a good couple. First, lay a good foundation for your relationship and clear up the feelings of the lotus maid. After that, it will all be a matter of course.”

Shen Sui really wanted to laugh, but tried his best to hold it back.

"Has the maidservant's condition improved?"

"Very good, the fever has subsided, rest for two more days, and you should recover." Shen Sui said.

"That's good, let's do it this way, I'll arrange it. The next day, you and the lotus maid will go out for a walk. This spring is short, so don't waste it. You have to go out and have fun, enjoy the flowers, and see the scenery. Jingzhou is very good." How can you waste your time in the governor's mansion, right?"

"...Yes." Shen Sui hesitated and bowed his hands in response.

Zhang Shuo nodded and stroked his beard, and praised in his heart: "Young children can be taught."Haojilang, the old man can only help you so far, how hard you have to work yourself.

Thinking of this, the former prime minister patted Shen Sui on the shoulder, with an expression that I liked you, smiled and left.The old prime minister's "hehehe" laughter echoed in Shen Sui's head, and he felt that something was collapsing in his heart.

After all, Shen Sui's letter was written, and Hutuo directly asked Hutuo to hand it over to Guiyan Station in Jiangling Mansion, and sent it to Chang'an quickly.Next, she just had to wait patiently for the four juniors of the Zhou family and Zhang Ruijin to arrive in Jiangling.

Zhang said that after looking for Shen Sui, he probably went to look for Zhang Ruohan again, and mentioned about going out for fun.Zhang Ruohan agreed "reluctantly" because of the elder's request.Zhang said he was very happy and looked like he was ten years younger.

So Wuya Qianhe and Hutuo Bluebird started to get busy, they had to prepare luggage and necessities for their master's trip.Shen Sui and Zhang Ruohan were also making preparations, but they were not helping. They dug out the best clothes and accessories in the suitcase, and prepared to dress up that day.

"Cough cough cough, Wu Ya, where did my jade hairpin go?" Zhang Ruohan would cough twice from time to time, but it was fine.

"San Niang, you didn't bring Bi Yuchai out." Wu Ya replied, she was folding countless clothes that San Niang had dug out into the suitcase.

Zhang Ruohan let out a light snort, suddenly feeling regretful.

Wu Ya put his arms around his hips and said helplessly, "Sanniang, have you decided yet, which outfit will you wear tomorrow?"

Zhang Ruohan looked at the three sets of clothes that were spread out on the bed that he had chosen, and finally ordered the one that was all white and embroidered with golden lotus.Wu Ya couldn't help complaining about his wife:

"Electing is like not choosing."

Zhang Ruohan smiled and defended herself: "She likes me in white."

Wu Ya looked up to the sky and sighed, feeling that if this continued, he might be unable to continue serving Sanniang because he was tortured until he vomited blood.

"Where's Qianhe?" Zhang Ruohan decided to show mercy and let her go, so he changed the subject.

"Staying in a daze on the roof." Wu Ya pointed to the top of his head.

Zhang Ruohan wondered why this girl went to the roof to be in a daze again, what happened recently?

In fact, Qianhe was fine, she was thinking about one thing, an insignificant but seemingly very important thing: it turns out that Erlang of the Shen family is actually the second wife of the Shen family, and Dalang of the Shen family is actually the aunt of the Shen family. , wouldn't it be her and her?She felt a little weird, and couldn't turn the corner for a while.Can't turn around, so she always feels a little sluggish, so she always falls in love with the roof and is in a daze.So much so that the steward of the governor's mansion was very worried, for fear that she would trample on the roof and would have to spend money to repair it.He also thoughtfully set up a ladder beside her, worrying that she would be able to go up but not come down.

But no one was using the ladder.

In addition, there are some things that make Qianhe really want to think carefully up, down, left, and right while staring blankly.It's just that these things are not enough for outsiders to understand.

"Dalang, can you... just choose this set." Blue Robin was a little broken, holding a set of royal blue moiré embossed round-neck forged robes in her hand.

Shen Sui frowned, feeling that something was missing.

Shen Jin also collapsed, took Shen Sui's hand and said:

[Sister, you have chosen an hour.No matter what you wear, Sister Lian Mai will think it looks good. 】

"I understand, but I still don't think it's good enough." Shen was obsessed with it.

Shen Jin and Blue Robin rolled their eyes at the same time.

In the end, Shen Sui chose a white brocade gown with crane pattern, and decided to wear a sapphire crown tomorrow.

The blue robin was very helpless: "Da Lang, you have to choose and choose, why did you choose white. Miss Zhang San will probably wear white tomorrow."

Shen Sui smiled and said, "Wouldn't that be just right?"

Shen Jin sighed: [You used to love red ocher, but now you have changed your temper and prefer blue and white. 】

Shen Sui smiled slightly, and said:

"Crimson is the color of clothing above the fifth rank, I can't wear it. Besides, I have seen too much red, and I don't want to see it again. I would rather wear a blue and white body, and let the world return my Shen's innocence."

Shen Jin smiled, looked at Shen Sui's Snow Knife on the knife holder, and said: [It's true that people are like knives, and knives are like people.Xue Dao used to be all red, but now he is all white, and so are you. 】

Shen Sui's tone was a bit ethereal: "That's right."

***

On the morning of the trip, Shen Sui had just finished washing up when he heard the sound of wings flapping by the window.Three carrier pigeons came to her in a row to deliver letters.She wondered to herself what a good day it was today, why everything collided.Then he went to the window and read the letter.

Three letters, one from Yizhou branch, one from Jiangling prefect Changfengtang, and one from Luoyang branch.Shen Sui knew that the letters from Yizhou and Jiangling Mansions were in reply to the mission she had sent out before.In order to investigate Hao Ye, Li Zhongyuan and Jiang Teng's tips, she specially sent pigeons to Yizhou and Jingzhou Changfengtang branches, asking them to find out the whereabouts of these three people in the past three months.

According to the news from the Jiangling Mansion, Shi Haoye, the Chief Governor of Jingzhou, and Sima Jiangteng, the governor of Jingnan, have not been unusual in their whereabouts in the past three months, except that they left Jiangling more than half a month ago to investigate Zhu Yuanmao's case. Outside of the mansion, they did not go elsewhere, they have been wandering along the Yangtze River, and never went north to Fufeng County.Not only them, but the relatives and servants around them have no suspicious whereabouts, and the correspondence between letters is also normal, and they have not contacted any suspicious persons.

According to the news from Yizhou, in the past three months, Li Zhongyuan never went north to Fufeng County, nor did the people around him.However, new developments have been traced from his contacts with the brothel women.In mid-December last year, Li Zhongyuan asked the brothel woman to leave a package for him. The package was left there overnight and half a day, and was quickly taken away.Yizhou sent people to find the brothel woman and questioned her about it.The brothel woman acted very innocent. She didn't seem to know what was in the package, nor did she know who took the package and where it was sent to.What can be confirmed at present is that the time point when the package was taken away should be between around midnight on December [-]th and the third quarter of the [-]th day.During this time, the brothel woman has been picking up customers outside, not in her room.No one in the building knew about the package except her.

The Yizhou branch did not fully trust this brothel woman, and has currently monitored her, waiting for Shen Sui's follow-up instructions.

Shen Sui frowned, she didn't expect that the maidservant of the lotus would randomly choose a three-pocket matter to trick her, but it really made her accidentally hit a hidden arrow hidden in the shadows.This Li Zhongyuan is very suspicious, it is probably inseparable from the princess falling off the horse.

She quickly began to write a reply letter, telling the Jingzhou branch to temporarily stop investigating Hao Ye and Jiang Teng, and asking the Yizhou branch to closely monitor the brothel girl. At the same time, pay attention to Li Zhongyuan, who has already returned. Once he finds his whereabouts, he will be monitored immediately. , Find out who he has had a close relationship with, follow the clues.

After processing the two replies, she slowly opened the letter from the Luoyang branch.The reason why she finally opened the letter from the Luoyang branch was because she had a hunch that the matter in Luoyang should be a very troublesome matter, and they came to her when they were so troublesome that they couldn't handle it by themselves.When she left Luoyang, she had already dealt with all the affairs of the Luoyang branch, and the Luoyang branch had her most capable subordinates.Under such circumstances, it might not be a good thing for Luoyang to send a message suddenly.She always sees the good first before the bad.

The letter was not long, Shen Sui read it quickly.After reading it, she was a little speechless, and threw the letter paper on the case. She really guessed the secret passage, which is a troublesome thing, very troublesome.

What happened?It's just a bloody thing.It is because of dog blood that it is troublesome.A ten-year-old girl whose father died came all the way from Shu County to Luoyang to join her second uncle, but she never thought that she would become famous not long after arriving in Luoyang, because this girl is too beautiful, but she is already a heavenly being at the age of ten posture.And her second uncle is just a musician with little power, and he doesn't have much ability to protect this girl.So the girl was taken by a certain mentally disturbed lunatic. It happened that this lunatic was rich and powerful, and a certain passionate young man at the Luoyang branch of Qianyumen really couldn't see it and hurt someone.As a result, he caused a whole lot of trouble, and was bitten by a mad dog and would not let go.Luoyang Changfengtang was disturbed by this mad dog every day and couldn't do business.Unexpectedly, you can't chop this mad dog with one knife, there is really nothing you can do about him.

Crazy Dog's surname is Helan, a top nobleman in the Tang Dynasty, and even a distant cousin of the current saint, even if he is related by seniority.The strongest "mad dog" who once shined in the whole Tang Dynasty - He Lanminzhi was his uncle.

And that poor ten-year-old girl's surname is Yang, and the small character Yuhuan.Now she can only hide in the Changfeng Hall with her second uncle Yang Xuangui, trembling and crying all day long.

At the end of the letter, the head of the Luoyang sub-rudder spoke earnestly: I implore the head of the sect to detour to Luoyang and preside over the matter.

Shen Sui had a headache.

"Da Lang! It's time, let's go!" Hutuo shouted outside.

"Hey, here we come!" Shen Sui temporarily put aside the matter, hurriedly raised the knife, and went out.

The author has something to say: Shen Sui: Yang Yuhuan can't stop me from dating the lotus maid.

The title of this chapter: Luoyang Ring, well, it’s actually Yang Yuhuan from Luoyang... I know the title is obsolete, but it’s interesting, isn’t it?

PS: It seemed to be 520 yesterday, but I ignored it. After all, this festival doesn’t mean anything to me. 【wry smile】
