The general is always teased

When Shi Nanyue heard the words, he didn't hide anything, organized his language, and explained the incident clearly.

Miao Lan came here at Shen Shi in the afternoon. She wanted to ask Shen Yijin for help, but when she saw Shi Nanyue who opened the door, it happened that Lin Yan had gone back today, and Shi Nanyue didn't know her at all, so naturally she couldn't let her in at will. She thought it was Shi Nanyue's intention, and she had a bad temper, and she was always unreasonable, so she started cursing as soon as she opened her mouth.

After Shen Yijin listened, she smiled embarrassedly at Shi Nanyue, and he apologized: "I'm sorry that you were scolded for nothing, and your family was hurt."

Miao Lan didn't study, she was thick-skinned, her mouth was full of swear words, she had no manners at all, she even greeted Shi Nanyue's family all over the place just now.

"No problem." Shi Nanyue didn't care, he shook his head, paused for a while, and asked again: "Is this person yours?"

Shen Yijin stared at the fire with a calm expression. After a long time, she replied: "She is my aunt, but we broke off our relationship seven years ago."

Shi Nanyue tilted his head, looked at the young man in front of him, and frowned slightly. He felt that Shen Yijin was too thin for a man, and he couldn't even compare with some northern women.

Sensing the other party's gaze, Shen Yijin also turned his head sideways. He blinked and asked, "What's wrong? But something got on my face?"

Shi Nanyue shook his head and said, "Brother Shen, there is nothing on your face."

"Then what do you see me doing?" Shen Yijin asked after picking up some firewood and throwing it into the stove.

Shi Nanyue didn't answer him, but asked another question: "Brother Shen, where is your family?" He has been here for so many days, and he has never seen anyone else except Shen Yijin.

Shen Yijin stopped her movements when she heard the words, and after a while, she said: "My parents passed away seven years ago. Now I am the only one in my family."

Shi Nanyue thought that Shen Yijin's parents had just traveled far away, but he didn't expect this to be the case, so he couldn't help being startled, came back to his senses, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry."

"It's nothing." Shen Yijin smiled slightly at Shi Nanyue, then raised her head, looked at the sky, pointed to the two brightest stars in the sky, and said with a smile in her eyes: "They've been looking at me all the time, I've been there It's very good." When he was talking, he kept smiling, his eyes were bright, as if he could really see his parents through those two stars.

With such a Shen Yijin, Shi Nanyue couldn't help being a little lost in thought, and looked at him with a little more admiration.

Although she is thin and not like a man, her heart is unexpectedly strong and strong. Shi Nanyue thinks that in a few years, Shen Yijin will definitely become an extremely outstanding man.

The two of them were talking around the fire, and before they knew it, half an hour later, the re-boiled medicine was ready.

After pouring the concoction into a clean bowl, Shen Yijin walked aside again, took out the food that had been warming in it from the pot, put it on the table, and then turned around and said to Shi Nanyue: "Come and eat, eat, you Take more medicine."

Shi Nanyue nodded slightly, then got up and sat down at the table.

This was the first time they had dinner at the same table, and Shen Yijin was not used to it. After taking a few mouthfuls of food quietly, he opened his mouth on his own initiative. Thinking of what he heard at the market today, he brought up the issue of those bandits.

After succinctly speaking what he heard today, Shen Yijin thought for a while and asked, "By the way, you were injured by bandits. Do you still remember how many bandits there are and how are their martial arts?"

After listening to Shen Yijin's words, Shi Nanyue frowned very tightly. He recalled and described one by one: "There were about 30 to [-] people who attacked us that day, all of whom had knives in their hands. There are a few people whose martial arts are particularly outstanding, they should be the leader, they are very fierce and desperate, and they are very difficult to deal with."

That day, he brought a few men under the guise of escorts, and originally wanted to test the strength of these bandits before making plans, but unexpectedly, he fell into their way and was seriously injured by them. fell into the water again.

Shen Yijin frowned and said, "Is it so powerful?"

Shi Nanyue said: "They are indeed powerful, and their number should be more than that. There must be many people on the mountain."

After hearing this, Shen Yijin frowned deeper, and her expression became more serious.

Shi Nanyue looked at him and asked, "These bandits are so rampant, why is the government doing nothing? Why didn't the Luo family villagers who were robbed you mentioned just report to the authorities?"

Shen Yijin sneered and said: "This group of bandits dared to do such evil because of their collusion with the government. You are an outsider, maybe you don't know that sometimes those who rob passers-by, and even the officials mixed in..."

Speaking of this, Shen Yijin paused for a moment, and then continued after a while: "The world is not peaceful today, the emperor is too young, and the government is controlled by powerful ministers. Anyone who can be an official in the south of the Yangtze River has connections in Beijing. , They are all transiting locusts, if they can catch a handful, they don't care whether the people are living in misery or not."

Shi Nanyue was silent. He knew that what Shen Yijin said was true. The current imperial court is full of smog and officials protect each other. Even if the emperor wants to govern, but because he is still young and subject to several veteran officials, it is impossible to implement it. Let's keep a low profile first, and wait until the next day to take down those powerful officials and regain the political power. It's just that he didn't expect that those people would be so ineffective.

Looking up at Shi Nanyue, Shen Yijin saw that he was silent, pursed her lower lip, hesitated for a while, and asked, "You are from the capital, are the officials in the capital also like Jiangnan, doing nothing and relying on Power, to oppress the people?"

Although Shen Yijin's expression was flat, and when he asked a question, he also showed very indifferent, as if he said it casually, but he still couldn't help but carry a little expectation in his heart.

——In the past, he studied hard in the cold window, and he also wanted to gain fame, become a good official, and benefit the people all over the world.

Hearing this, Shi Nanyue couldn't help raising his head, and stared at Shen Yijin for a long time. He could tell that although Shen Yijin had tried his best to cover it up, there was still a hint of expectation hidden in his tone.

Looking back, Shi Nanyue said solemnly: "Although the court is full of smog, there are still many good officials in the court. They are doing their best for the country, the people, and the world. Although their strength is small, they are still working hard. , His Majesty is also working hard."

Hearing this, a trace of doubt arose in Shen Yijin's heart. He held his chin, stared at Shi Nanyue intently for a long time, and said puzzledly: "You don't look like an escort, but rather, um, a general."

Shi Nanyue was startled.

Shen Yijin didn't notice, he lowered his eyes, and said softly, "However, if you were a general, why did you come to Jiangnan for no reason?"

After a pause, he raised the corners of his lips again, smiled lightly, and continued: "I'm just joking, you don't have to take it to heart, in short, you heal your injury quickly, and then return the money to me. "As he said, he showed his love for money again.

"I remember." Shi Nanyue responded, then lowered his head and said nothing more.

He came to Jiangnan this time to suppress the bandits under the emperor's order. Before the time came, he could not easily reveal his identity. It was not that he did not believe in Shen Yijin, but this matter was of great importance and he could not take it as a gamble.

Next, the two finished their dinner quietly.

After eating, Shen Yijin stood up and said, "There is hot water in the pot. After you have used the medicine, you can call and wash yourself. As for the dishes and chopsticks, put them away first. I will wash them tomorrow, and I will go back first." room."

The two consecutive incidents today really made him feel very depressed. At this moment, he just wanted to go back to his room and read a book to divert his thoughts.

Shi Nanyue nodded and responded again.

After Shen Yijin returned to the room, Shi Nanyue did not leave, but continued to sit in the kitchen. After about a quarter of an hour, two figures suddenly fell in front of his eyes, and they clasped their fists at the same time and said, "General, the subordinate is late. "

The people who came were Shi Nanyue's two lieutenants, Luo Zhengqing and He Zhang.

Signaling them to stop talking, Shi Nanyue glanced outside the door, and then looked not far away. Seeing that Shen Yijin's room was lit with candlelight, he looked away at ease and said to them: "You guys came just in time, I want you to check two things. The matter is, firstly, which of the officials in the south of the Yangtze River are in collusion with those bandits, and secondly, what are the bandits' frequent crimes recently?"

Luo Zhengqing and He Zhang nodded and said: "This subordinate takes orders."

After speaking, He Zhang took Shi Nanyue's pulse and looked at the wound.

He stared at the wound for a while, then took a look at the medicine dregs in the medicine jar, his eyes were slightly bright, and he said anxiously: "General, who treated your injury?"

Shi Nanyue looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

He Zhang shook his head, and said excitedly: "General, if I'm not mistaken, the one who healed your wounds was a generation of genius doctor, Lin Gongyu."

Shi Nanyue was puzzled: "Lin Gongyu?"

He Zhang nodded and said with yearning expression: "Doctor Lin's medical skills are very good. There are rumors that there is no poison in the world that he can't cure, he can also connect severed hands, and even heal the dead. It's a pity that he has a bad temper. Not good, there are very few people he is willing to take care of, and 30 years ago, for unknown reasons, he suddenly disappeared, never thought that he would live in seclusion here."

Shi Nanyue thought of the old man who healed him, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, he was not like what He Zhang described, and said: "Maybe it's just a coincidence, that's all, you guys go back."

Luo Zhengqing frowned and asked, "General, don't you want us to go?"

Shi Nanyue shook his head and said, "I can't leave yet." If he leaves now, Shen Yijin will probably hate him for the rest of his life, after all, he still owes Shen Yijin a lot of money.

Hearing this, Luo Zhengqing exchanged a glance with He Zhang, guessing that the general had his own thoughts, so he clasped his fists and said, "This subordinate takes orders."

As soon as the words fell, the two of them jumped for life, and soon disappeared.
