Sheng Shian

Shun He got up and quietly leaned against the window curtain, raised a corner and took a look.

A dozen or so people outside the sedan chair gradually approached. They were dressed in coarse clothes and full of banditry. They seemed to be driving the road like me, and they began to shout from a long distance: "Invite rewards, invite rewards!"

Shun He was carrying a murderous aura, and was about to draw his sword, but was held back by Shen Shi, who said hesitantly, "Don't be afraid, master, he's just a countryman."

Sheng Yi also frowned his good-looking eyebrows. He looked very small and immature, showing a bit of disobedience for a little adult: "It's not right, it's deceitful."

Shen was planning countermeasures in his mind, and he analyzed them in detail: "Chongming Mansion has been under no one's jurisdiction for a long time, and many of the people have turned into bandits. I see that they speak very carefully, and they seem to be somewhat organized robbers."

He asked Shun He, "How many people are outside?"

Shun He said: "13 people, including two women."

Shen Shi picked up a bag of purse that he took office, divided [-]% of it out, weighed it in his hand and said: "Two fists can't beat four legs, and there are about ten people at the head. I'm afraid the scale of this mountain is not small."

Kindness and gentleness and a calm face.The footsteps outside had stopped, and the crowd laughed like they were looking at a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, and there was a lot of yelling.

"Listen to me, go out first with kindness." Shen Shi pushed his sword back into the scabbard and carried it by himself.

Seeing someone coming out of the sedan chair, a sturdy and rugged man stroked his beard and shouted arrogantly: "My lord, we are here to invite you!"

He walked out without knowing his intentions, like a noble young master, and looked at everyone without anger and prestige.

The robbers had never seen such a noble person, and felt that they had killed a big fish, but the other party was unusually calm, and other people would be frightened when they saw them on weekdays, and this was the first time they encountered such a situation... ...

Shen Shi swaggered and followed closely with his sword in his hand, raised his head and looked at the crowd haughtily, and said in a low tone, "Master Liu led the army here first, you just came here to greet him, how dare you ask for a reward? "

Marquis?Army?Everyone panicked, the people were afraid of the officials, and the bandits were afraid of the soldiers. This is something that is deeply rooted in their bones, not to mention the villagers who have little knowledge.The burly man patted his stomach, pretended to be calm and looked at them, who knew if he was talking nonsense.

Shen Shi drew out his sword, his figure was much taller under the background of kindness, his eyes were sharp and scary, he raised his tone, and every word fell like ice balls: "Such contempt, he deserves to be punished!"

He didn't wait for Shen Shi's reminder, he immediately comprehended, and slapped his palm on the ground, the wild sand was everywhere, and the surrounding forest leaves rustled. He took out the towel as if nothing had happened, wiped his hands, returned to the sedan chair, and opened the door. curtain.

Everyone stared dumbfounded at the half-meter-deep pit on the ground, and the big man was sweating on his forehead, and some timid ones even knelt down trembling, not knowing how to react...

In particular, when they saw the people behind the curtain, they gave them a fierce look, as if looking at dead ants. They robbed their houses everywhere, and their intuition for this kind of fierceness was very keen, and some people began to subtly shout "Forgive me... ..."

Shen Shi jumped off the sedan chair and approached the leading ferocious man step by step. The tip of the sword scratched the ground and made a long "stab" sound, carrying the chill like a reminder.

The big man took two steps back tremblingly. Damn, he is so powerful with his bare hands. Didn't the one holding the sword want to see blood seal his throat...

Shen Shi raised his hand suddenly, the sword light flashed, the big man's pupils dilated, his legs became weak from fright, and he sat slumped on the ground, with warm water stains flowing from his trouser legs, soaking his clothes...

Shen's lips curled up, his slender eyebrows reflected on the smooth sword body, giving off a somewhat evil aura, he stood straight and looked at everyone coldly.

I saw that the big man immediately hugged his leg and said: "My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life!!!"

This sound woke up the crowd, and they immediately knelt down, kowtowed and wept. They were shameless in order to survive, and at this time they used all kinds of tricks.

Shen accepted it as soon as he saw it, and said slowly: "However, Lord Hou is benevolent, for the sake of you coming out to greet him—"

This pause made everyone tremble and hold their breath.

Shen Shi laughed strangely, threw the money bag in his hand, and patted the big man's shoulder, like an evil spirit haunting him: "I'll give you some rewards, not as an example."

The big man's heartbeat was almost gone, he was holding a money bag tremblingly, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Everyone thought they were ordered here, and they wanted to get money there, and wept bitterly to thank Lord Hou for his kindness, but Shen waved their hands, and they fled in all directions.

Looking at Shen Shi in surprise, he took his shuriken and said with emotion: "Master is cunning...no no no no...wisdom and bravery...you can't judge by appearance ah......"

Shun He jumped off the sedan chair in doubt and asked, "The robbers were already scared just now, why did the master still give them the money bag?"

With good intentions, he poked his head with his finger and said, "Thieves don't go away, thieves don't go away, do you know, if you kill the carbine, you still protect the master with your brain, it's all up to the master to protect you!"

As a secret guard, but was rescued by his master, Shun He fell into the shame and humiliation, his cheeks flushed red.

Sheng Yi seldom saw him blushing, and yelled at him even more unscrupulously: "Oh, shame on you, we are working hard outside, you just watch the play in the sedan chair, tsk tsk tsk..."

Shun He couldn't bear it anymore and stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, shaking his head with kindness and unable to struggle, so he stared at him with his round eyes.

Surrounded by barren mountains and mountains, Shen Shi quietly looked at the sedan chair in front of him. He pursed his lips, obviously troubled, the bearers ran away, his leg was really hurting, he couldn't help murmuring to the bickering two people Said to himself: "You...can carry the sedan chair..."

Sheng Yi's mouth was still covered, and he said vaguely: "Old...squeeze...in...shrink...what?"

Shen Shi shook his head, and walked up the mountain resignedly.

After crossing two hills, they finally arrived at Chongming Mansion. The two of them didn't change their faces, and the wind was blowing under their feet. Only Shen was about to die here. A treasure is a treasure, but he is not very considerate. He misses him a little bit. Good.

Shen Shi looked at the government office, and there was only one man reeking of alcohol, who fell asleep on the magistrate's chair, and kindly took the reed branches picked in the forest just now to tease the snoring man.

He rubbed his nose, turned around and continued to sleep, put away the reed kindly, kicked the magistrate's chair with frivolous eyes.

Plop, the man fell down, rubbing his old waist and cursing: "What little bastard, dare to touch your county magistrate!!!"

Shen crossed his arms in front of his chest. This Chongming Mansion was ridiculous. There was only one county magistrate sleeping on duty, but he was still there after everyone had left. He should still be a bit ambitious.

The county magistrate fixed his eyes on the past, didn't recognize him, yawned, sat down, patted the gavel, and said weakly: "Who is here, tell me your name!"

Sheng Yi wanted to tease him, but was stopped by Shun He, who opened the appointment document and put it in front of the case.

The county magistrate opened one eye to see, stood up abruptly, trotted to Shen Shi's side, bowed eagerly and said: "The villain Xu Zhongming has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai, and he offended the magistrate, please forgive me!"

There is still some talent, Shen is indifferent to help him up and said: "You and my colleagues, you don't have to be so polite."

"The magistrate is exhausted all the way, and the villain will take you to the mansion to rest first, and then I will call for everyone, and then come to clean up the dust for the adults." Xu Xiancheng led them.

Thoughtful and considerate, he doesn't make small reports. He is a talent. Shen Shigao glanced at him: "There is Lao Xu County Prime Minister."

Shen asked a few words casually, and he knew that there was probably one county magistrate, one chief secretary, and five arresters in the lower government office.

Shen didn't bother to ask where everyone had gone, he was thankful that someone was there, and he said, "Xu County Chancellor, where are the cases piled up in the yamen usually stored?"

Xu Xiancheng didn't fluctuate much, he only felt that the new official took office three fires, he did the same way back then, he was not tempered, he took out a few keys from his pocket: "Back to my lord, the cases are basically At the west treasury, there are very few people in the Chongming Mansion beating drums to redress their grievances, and there are not many cases in the past few years, here is the key, what else can your lord order?"

Shen Shi bowed his body: "No more, thank you Xu Xiancheng."

Xu Xiancheng left first, and kindly dusted the dust on the table and said: "I think the drums in the capital are almost broken by hammering, but I didn't expect that Chongming Mansion is quite peaceful."

Shen Shi played with the key in his hand and said, "It's useless even if you hit it."

In the early morning of the next day, there was still no one in the yamen, Shen opened the warehouse without hesitation, the old musty smell came from inside, he opened the door for ventilation, and moved a small rattan chair to bask in the sun.

Shengyi came out with a stretched waist, and saw him drawing on the paper with a pen, and then let it hang aside, and looked at it for a long time, and said, "Duty watch?"

Shen just smiled and said nothing.

Kindly tugging Shunhe to watch together, patted his chest reassuringly and said, "I'm going to be on duty tonight too, luckily I don't have your name or mine."

Shen Shi pulled it back and put it in his sleeve pocket, and said softly: "It didn't come at this point, master, you are more optimistic."

Eagerly smiling evilly: "It's on me!"

Shen is clasping his fists, he doesn't have to be a fool if he has resources, but this trip is not a long-term solution, there will be punishments, and there must be rewards, and he still has to go to the master book to see the warehouse.

At noon, he suddenly saw a thin man with a white beard and five young men in police uniforms rushing over. He said with a smile on his face, "The villain Jiang Yi has met the magistrate, and he will give you a gift." Your Excellency is arranging the banquet, I am a bit late, please forgive me."

Shen Shi looked at him and said with a smile: "Boss Jiang has worked hard for Chongming all his life, and he has made great achievements. I am new here, and you have to bother me. I am really sorry."

Master Jiang thanked Dade and said, "It's a villain's honor to be able to relieve the magistrate's worries."

Shen stood up from his chair and said, "You're welcome. It would be nice if I could help you share some of the burden. Don't dare to trouble Master Jiang."

Master Jiang was obviously used to being touted, and he was a little lost for a while.

Shen pointed to the open door of the West Warehouse and said: "I have nothing to do today, I have sorted out the text of the West Warehouse, and I am leaving for the East Warehouse. I heard that the key is here with Master Jiang. Can you let me see it?" What do you see?"

The east warehouse is where the government bank is located.
