Sheng Shian

Shen Shi rolled up his lower sleeves, straightened his back like a cold winter, and walked in solemnly.

At this time, Emperor Chengming was sitting at the head of the former student seat, flipping through a book of "Book of Rites" in his hand, seeing Shen Shi coming and slowly raising his head, he said: "I once had two mentors, one young He died young, and one suffered misfortune. The gentlemen are clear about their chastity and integrity, they are honest and self-reliant, they have dedicated their lives to the community, and they have pleaded for life and determination for the living people. Why did they fall to this end... Is it my fault?"

Shen kowtowed to the ground, "The country is prosperous and the people are peaceful, and all wastes are prosperous. If the saint loses his virtue, how can there be such a prosperous situation. What's more, the birth of all things in the world is immortal? The death of the old man has the virtue of saving the cabinet and scholars, and there is no way to save the world." Kuang Sheji's contribution to the stability of the country has lasted through the ages and is more important than Mount Tai. If the Holy Majesty wants to mourn, I am afraid that the spirit of the elder Jiuquan will not rest in peace..."

Emperor Cheng Ming stood up, looked at him twice, and asked in an unclear tone, "You don't seem to be sad."

This is very special, the whole country mourns, but if you are a literati, if you don't cry for three days and three nights, you will be scolded for not respecting your teacher and keeping the way, and losing your etiquette.

Shen Shi said: "The dead are gone, but the living can only preserve their spirit and live up to their trust."

"The elder Ge also said this sentence when the Grand Tutor passed away..." Emperor Chengming's eyes were far-reaching.

Shen Shi's heart was as heavy as a stone, unspeakably heavy.

Emperor Chengming said again: "I was very disappointed in you."

"That day in the Golden Luan Hall, in order to protect the honor of Lord Hou, you did not hesitate to destroy your own future, and ignored the family and country affairs that I discussed with you. I sent someone to ask you if you made up your mind, and you said there was nothing you could do."

"Shen Shaoqing, do you think there is no one in Daqi?"

"I said I was sick the next day. Apart from temporarily suppressing the dispute between the prince's teachers, I really meant to find another good talent. But when Mr. Ge came, he actually used Wusha as a guarantee for you, saying that I would trust you, and that if the world still Someone cares more about Daqi's stability than him, and that must be you."

Shen Shi's nails were embedded in the flesh.

Emperor Chengming helped Shen Shi up and said, "I hope Shen Shaoqing will give me a reasonable explanation, and don't disappoint the old man's expectations."

Shen Shi pursed his lips, his eyes were determined, he suddenly walked to the brush tank, dipped his index finger in the water, and wrote the word "Xiao" on the case.

Emperor Chengming changed his face.

Shen Shi said, "I have a plan."

The summer was sweltering, and Shen was eloquent, using water as a formation, and arranged in all directions. Emperor Chengming was puzzled, so he moved closer, and a drop of sweat fell on the back of his hand.

"What does your Majesty think?"

Emperor Chengming put his hands behind his waist and said in a steady voice, "Good."

Shen Shi continued to speak, he spoke slowly, but his words were clear, simple and thoughtful.Emperor Chengming looked at the fleeting water characters on the case, and stretched out his hands to cover the water marks that were in line with the style of his predecessors. It was icy and cold, and in midsummer, it made people feel a little attached.

"You do look like sir."

Shen was stunned.

Emperor Chengming changed the topic and said, "Now that the account book has been burned, all you said has become false."

"No."

Emperor Chengming raised his eyebrows.

Shen Shi took out a letter of divorce from his bosom and handed it over, "This is Meng Yang's letter of divorce. I also ask the Holy Spirit to issue an order to rectify his name."

Emperor Chengming snorted coldly, "Shen Shaoqing, if you copy and kill all the families, you can use a letter of divorce to solve it. Don't you think my Daqi law is too much fun! What's more, Meng Yang killed the chief assistant of the dynasty and was not tortured by Ling Chi. It's an act of mercy!"

"My lord, the ledger is fake."

Emperor Chengming narrowed his eyes.

Shen Shi said: "Now only Yu Shuyuan can find the real account book. Is the Holy Majesty going to sacrifice the elder Jiaoge for nothing?"

Emperor Chengming thought for a moment, and took down a jade whistle from his waist. He said, "I understand Shaoqing's meaning, and you will drive Huang Falcon's dark guards in the future. May the wind be clean and the atmosphere will be upright in the future, and all disasters and chaos will be eliminated. Those who serve as officials have a lot of ambition to stand up for themselves, and those who serve the people work hard and enjoy themselves, so that the sea is clear and the rivers are peaceful, and the government is smooth and the people are harmonious."

Shen Shi took it, and said in a serious voice: "I should be the heartbroken of Da Qi, and I will die."

After Shen Shi and Shengshang expressed their loyalty, they rushed to the old man's mansion in a hurry. Yu Shuyuan handed over the account and should have sought asylum in the old man's mansion.

Besides, everyone thought that the ledger had been destroyed, so who would have the leisure to make things difficult for a weak woman.

He forgot that someone knew.

Shen Shi walked halfway when he bumped into a tall figure, and he was a little dizzy from the collision. Before his fever completely receded, he swayed for two steps.

The man wrapped his arms around his waist.

Shen looked intently, it was Liu Changze.

And at this time, the last thing he wanted to see was Liu Changze.

If it wasn't for this person framing him and imprisoning him, if it wasn't for this person grounding him, if it wasn't...

In fact, Shen blamed himself the most. In the final analysis, he was the one who called Yu Shuyuan to find Song Fengan. Why didn't it count that Meng Yang would put Yu Shuyuan together regardless of Yu Shuyuan's safety.

So I couldn't face Liu Changze.

He couldn't face the guilt of killing his old friend, and he was afraid of Liu Changze's heart-wrenching questions...

He took two steps back, lowered his head and said in a distant tone, "I've bumped into Lord Hou, I hope Lord Hou is no wonder."

"Look up." Liu Changze ordered displeased.

Shen Shi raised his head upon hearing this, his amber eyes lost their brightness as before, and looked at him indifferently.

Liu Changze rushed up in a flash of anger. He and others had calculated his own debt, but he acted like someone owed him tens of thousands of taels. It's really unreasonable!

"What did you talk about during the three hours you entered the palace?"

Shen Shi said, "Master Hou has abandoned me, so why ask me?"

"If you don't tell me, I don't know. Did you go to plead for Yu Shuyuan?"

"It has nothing to do with Lord Hou."

Liu Changze stared blankly, leaned down in the endless crowd, and whispered into his ear, "I don't know if Yu Shuyuan's whereabouts have anything to do with me."

Shen Shi glared at him angrily, but saw that he turned around and was about to leave.

Shen Shi quickly caught up and grabbed Liu Changze's cuff, but was thrown away in disgust.

After a blink of an eye, Liu Changze disappeared into the crowd. He was anxious to find it, but he could only scurry around the street like a headless chicken.

Liu Changze would not say those words to him for no reason.

Is Yu Shuyuan not in Ge Lao Mansion?

Shen searched for the nearest stable and bought a horse. He didn't know what Liu Changze wanted to do?Feelings of guilt, loss, frustration, and bewilderment piled up layer upon layer.

He turned over, and before pulling the rein, he felt that the horse's back shook, and there was already a person behind him.

Shen suddenly looked back.

Even though it was such an urgent time, Shen Shi's heart beat shamefully for a second.

Without making a sound, Liu Changze walked around his waist, grabbed the reins, whipped a long whip in the air, and galloped away with all four hooves flying.

Liu Changze stuck him very close, as if he knew that he was already very tired after having a high fever, and urgently needed a hug to relax, even if it was calculated, it almost made Shen Shi's eyes wet.

It's too hot, Liu Changze thought.

Shen Shi had a red mole behind his ear, it was so hot that it was about to burn, Liu Changze lowered his head and moved closer, he seemed to want to blow away the heat and said: "Shen Shi, you should be glad that the account book is fake Otherwise, Yu Shu would not be alive today."

The cold wind blows over the earlobe, which is hot, like a poor tender pear blossom being swayed by the wind.

Shen Shi shuddered, "If Master Hou wants the account book, Yu Shuyuan is the only clue."

Liu Changze's eyes were glued as if he was about to bite the mole, he exhaled twice, and said in a hoarse voice, "Isn't there still a divorce letter? Shen is."

Shen was heartbroken to the bottom of the valley.

That's right, Liu Changze even found the white porcelain pot, so how could he not find the divorce letter.

Seeing his sickly appearance, Liu Changze grabbed his waist and jumped off the horse, "Tianzi No. [-] room, remember, find the account book and give it to me."

Shen raised his eyes and saw that this was Zi Anzhai's restaurant.

He clearly had a high fever, but he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Shen looked at the surrounding environment, he opened the door and walked into Tianzi No. [-] room, but the inside was empty, there was no one he wanted to see.

He pulled out the chair and sat down, only to see the door opened, Ah Liang came in with the medicine, touched his forehead with his hand, was startled, and hurriedly said, "Miss Yu is still on the way, sir, drink the medicine while it's hot. "

"She's not here?"

A Liang said embarrassingly: "Your Excellency is exquisite, Master Hou is also on guard."

If it's going to be put in the inn, what will you do if you take people to suppress it tomorrow?

Shen drank the medicine with a sullen face, and Ah Liang withdrew.

After a while, two people came out from the inner room, one was as beautiful as a celestial being with white gauze covering her eyes, the other helped her out, untied the knot tied to the back of her head, and left through the secret passage in the inner room.

Shen was relieved to see that everything was fine with her.

He immediately asked: "Shuyuan, did Lord Hou ever make things difficult for you?"

Yu Shuyuan shook his head, "If Lord Hou hadn't rescued me, I should be in prison by now."

Shen was puzzled.

Yu Shuyuan sat down and said: "When Mr. Ge had an accident yesterday, I was talking about calligraphy and painting with Song Zhili in Zizhu Forest. Unexpectedly, a group of men in black appeared and said to me, 'Hand it over, or I will be sent to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice'. Smile secretly, I have handed in all the books, what else can I hand in?"

"I saw that man tore off his veil. He was Meng Yang's accountant. He said that Meng Yang had hidden a huge sum of money in his early years, so it must be with me."

Yu Shuyuan said coldly: "This is ridiculous. If Meng Yang wants to give me a huge sum of money, and even tore up the divorce papers, will he drag me to die together?"

Shen was stunned.

Yu Shuyuan's eyes were suddenly full of resentment, and she said, "Ah, do you know that? That man was yelling in the fire. In this life, in the next life, and in the next life, I will be the wife he is marrying, and I will never let him go forever." pass me."

Shen Shi picked up the teapot, poured two cups of tea with serious thoughts, and asked, "Is Meng Yang dead?"

Yu Shuyuan smiled and said, "Yes, it was burnt to a handful of ashes, without even a soul."

Shen Shi asked again: "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure..." Yu Shuyuan's eyes suddenly turned red, and he swore again, "I'm sure!"

Shen Shi suddenly felt that Yu Shuyuan's mood was not normal, like an ice corner on the lake surface, it looked like a little point, and there were thousands of steep cliffs under the deep sea.

Shen Shi put the divorce letter he wanted to take out back into his arms.

He tentatively asked from the details: "Shuyuan, why did Meng Yang give you the account book that day?"

Yu Shuyuan seemed to be in a predicament, and she suddenly felt that she couldn't remember what happened that day.

It happened not long ago, why can't I remember clearly?

She said, "I don't remember..."
