Sheng Shian

Chapter 18 Dessert

Liu Changze walked in front indifferently, and there was a soft cry from behind, as if he had kicked a stone, and the attached whip pulled his arm.

Liu Changze didn't look back, he said, "If you don't hold it tight, you will sleep here tonight."

"Thank you, Lord Liu, sir."

"To shut up."

Shen shut his mouth in a good manner. He looked at the person in front of him who slowed down, and felt that Liu Changze was a very contradictory mystery.

Threatening, yet considerate.While admonishing him to send him to Chongming, he was covering up for private salt, lest he find out.

Moreover, people have a particularly sensitive sense of smell when they are invisible.

The moment he fell, he could smell the faint fragrance from Liu Changze's body, a bit like grass after the rain.

He will always know what Liu Changze wants to do.

At least it has something to do with the Liu family.

Shen Shi suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Living in a small corner, I can teach and educate people with simple food and drink."

His voice was low and hoarse, like a chant from ancient times.

"When you live in a temple, you have the world in your heart and help the common people." Liu Changze continued with a feeling in his heart: "Teacher taught you a lot..."

"It's not half as good as Lord Hou." Shen Shi closed his eyes, and couldn't help talking about the New Deal: "Master Hou, do you know why the people of Chongming would rather risk their heads to sell private salt than farm for self-sufficiency?"

Maybe it was because Liu Changze mentioned the Grand Tutor, Liu Changze was quite soft, and he was willing to say a few more words to him: "Chongming is a long way away, and the grain grown is sold for sale, not to mention paying back the profit, it may cost more than the travel expenses."

"But how many prosperous cities are there in Daqi? Almost all of them are villages like Chongming. Some policies do more harm than good to a small country, and more harm than good to a large country..."

The familiar argument made Liu Changze realize that the person in front of him was a student of the Taifu. He had a desire to win and lose all his life, so he said: "If the people have no money, I will borrow money; if the people lack food, I will open a warehouse. What's the disadvantage? have?"

"But the world is not the peach blossom garden of Lord Marquis. Everything can be as you wish. The chaos in Lingnan is just a harbinger. The people are burdened with debts. Whenever there is a drought or flood, it will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back." Shen He sighed: "Could it be that the loss of life is what Lord Hou wants to see?"

Liu Changze was used to such sarcastic remarks, so he said with a bit of contempt: "Is there a lot of interest in the second share? Don't borrow if you can't afford it. I just gave them one more choice."

Shen stepped on a dead tree, and he said slowly: "In that case, why don't the people lend money and the government issue regulations to regulate it, so that it is taken from the people and used for the people, and everyone is happy?"

Liu Changze paused, seemed to be thinking, then continued to walk and said, "People can't do it."

Shen Shi lowered his eyes and said: "If the common people in the world can't do it, can Master Hou do it?"

Liu Changze remained silent.

Shen Shi suddenly stepped forward and grabbed him tightly: "There was Shang Yang's reform in the past, and the Qingli New Deal in the future! Master Liu Hou is rich in Gu Guanjin, don't you know that the word "law" is a double-edged sword, why do you still hold on to it? "

Shen Shi's face was so close to him that he could even clearly see his own reflection in Shen Shi's eyes.

Liu Changze's usual raised eyebrows eased a little, which is a double-edged sword.He looked at his hands, pulled up the corners of his mouth slightly, pushed Shen away and said, "Magistrate Shen, you have overstepped."

The distance from the government office was getting closer and closer, and the two were silent for a long time.

Shen Shi looked at the faint lights not far away, as if a mottled boulder was pressed against his chest, he whispered: "Master Hou still remembers the murder case a few days ago, maybe the man didn't die before setting fire to the house ?”

"Master Hou, it's not too late to make up for it."

Shen Shi's voice was very soft, but it fell into Liu Changze's ears without saying a word.

Liu Changze's expression was difficult to discern, and he rolled up his whip, leaving him alone.

After a while, I heard Catcher Zhang running over out of breath and shouting: "My lord, something is wrong!"

"Three people in the prison died?" Shen Shi said.

"My lord...you...how did you know that!" Zhang Kuai couldn't even close his jaw in shock.

"Where is the body?"

"It's the execution room, the light should be brighter."

"Go and have a look." Shen Shi pulled Detective Zhang quickly, and drove away at lightning speed.

Oh, I can't see it.

Liu Changze next to the bulletin board looked at his unsteady steps and snorted coldly.Then, his eyes stayed on the writing on the "reward", and he patted the word "report" with his palm, and the wooden board shook slightly in response.

The Yawai was hitting the wooden board with good intentions, and happened to catch this scene in his eyes, thinking in horror, my God, is Hou Ye so angry with the master that he doesn't have the energy to play a wooden board?

......

The three corpses in the prison were dragged out, their faces were purple, and there were traces of vomiting. Xu Xiancheng took out a silver needle and stuck it into the abdomen of the corpses. When it was pulled out, it was all black.

"My lord, it's arsenic." Xu Xiancheng said.

Shen Shi asked, "When did you die?"

Shun He said: "Wei Shi, an hour after your lord's trial."

Shen Shi glanced around at the crowd. During his interrogation, the caliber of the three of them seemed to be aligned, exactly the same.I wanted to look for evidence first, and then threaten and lure me to confess the truth.I didn't expect the opponent's layout to be so thorough, who is it?

Chongming is remote, and it takes at least three days to send a letter, and the crackdown on private salt is his temporary idea, who can do it!

No matter how unwilling Shen is to believe it, the facts are in front of his eyes.

He looked up at the sky, took a long breath, walked to the court without saying a word, and continued the interrogation.

Whether he has other plans or goes astray, he is responsible.

Shen Shi was a little impatient tonight, and his tone was quite harsh during the interrogation.

Sheng Yi looked at it strangely. When Master Shen was still in such a fluctuating mood, he remembered something and asked, "Master, do you want to eat the ginkgo taro paste from Fengyang Tower now?"

Without raising his eyes, Shen Shi flipped through the file and said, "Let the kitchen be heated up, and send it to Master Hou."

Liu Changze hasn't eaten anything since noon.

He wants to say something but stops.

Shen was photographed by the gavel, and he was imposing. He was about to ask the people in the hall, but seeing that the good intentions hadn't left, he asked, "Is there anything else?"

She swallowed kindly: "No..."

Sheng Yi walked into the mansion with twitching corners of his eyes, bumped into Shun He who had just come back from escort, he said: "...Shunhe, do you think I...have offended the master?"

There was a trace of softness on Shun He's resolute face, and he reached out to touch the corner of his eyes and said, "What's wrong?"

Sheng Yi said with a face full of despair: "Master, let me deliver sweets to Lord Hou... Does he want me to die?"

"It's okay, let's go." Shun He said softly.

"It's okay! It's okay! You are so heartless! Is there someone outside behind my back!!!"

Shun He smiled unprofessionally: "Master Hou has sent you and me to protect Master, everything will be fine."

"I'm not the master, I'm the one who died!" He tapped Shun He's acupoints in great spirits: "Hmph, if I don't come back, just stand there for the rest of your life!"

Kindly sneaking a sneak peek at Lord Hou's door, but no one was there, he heaved a sigh of relief, pushed open the door, put the sweets on the table, and was about to slip away quietly...

Then I saw a person coming in from the door and looking at him.

The kindness was like a frightened bird, and he immediately stood straight and said, "Master Hou is auspicious! Master Shen asked me to deliver it, and it's none of my business! Excuse me, I'll go first!"

A set of movements flowed smoothly, like thunder and lightning. When he closed the door, Liu Changze had just finished listening to the auspicious words of Lord Hou.

Liu Changze lifted the small sapphire cup on the table and closed it instantly.

He said, "Take it out."

After a gust of wind, the sweets on the table were gone.

Liu Changze never eats sweets.

There were many banquets in the palace, and almost every time the Taifu would receive a lot of desserts from the imperial court. It was the first time he had a banquet with Shen Taifu, and from the other party's frowning, he could see that the Taifu didn't like desserts.

But who dares not to eat what is bestowed by the emperor.

When Taifu Shen stretched out his hand to pick up a piece, he snatched it from Taifu's hand, bit it down, and his scalp went numb.

"Master Hou, you can't, this is a gift from the emperor!" Gong'e, who was serving beside her, lost her soul and stretched out her hand to stop him.

He stared domineeringly at Gong'e and said, "It's your turn to care what I eat!"

Gong'e was used to his methods of torturing people, she was shaking like a sieve and dared not speak.

There was light in Taifu Shen's eyes, he was obviously very happy, and said solemnly: "It's not a problem, it's natural for children to like sweets."

He sneered, there was such a shameless person, so he brought the plate in front of him and ate two more.

Sweet to my heart.

From now on, whenever he is present, Tai Tuo's sweets will definitely be snatched away by him.

He has done a lot of things recklessly, and no one dares to persuade him.

......

When the kindness came out, Shun He had been forgotten, and he returned to the yard to relax after playing two rounds of the board.

Shun He looked at him expressionlessly.

Shengyi's back felt cold, and she took a few steps back, trying to hide in the night.

Shun He stepped forward to touch his acupuncture points, and whispered, "Is it fun?"

"No...it's not fair...you can untie the acupuncture points I ordered..." said kindly.

Shun He's hands ran up his back.

Sheng Yi blinked twice, and said angrily, "You are just lazy! You have unlocked your acupuncture points and you still don't go to work!! You still use me as an excuse!!!"

Shun He pinched his waist in a funny way, and went back to the front of the hall to detain him.

Finally came the seventh day.

People in Chongming almost use the village as a unit to hand in the landscape tickets, and the government servants are all out counting, and the head arresters and fast arresters maintain order.

methodical.

As for Shen Shi, who was interrogated continuously for three days and three nights, Chen Shi collapsed uncontrollably in front of the case, and everyone did not go to wake him up, and took action spontaneously.

Shen Shi was awakened by the lively cheers outside the hall.

He looked at the robe on his body, stretched his waist in a daze, and saw a blue-clothed boy with flying eyebrows sitting below him, holding a few scrolls and reading them fascinated.

"Master Hou, you won't go to court today..."?Why did you come to see me again?

There was another round of cheers.

Shen Shi swallowed the rest of the words into his stomach. He thought he was the sick and weak Mr. Shen, so he got up and went outside, scolding himself as he walked, "Why did you fall asleep..."

Without raising his eyes, Lord Liu Hou took out the memorial and letter of appointment from his sleeve, threw them in his hand and said, "Return to Beijing after half a stick of incense."

Shen Shi opened it to have a look, and smiled happily. He didn't expect to be able to catch up.

He walked out and saw that everyone was already packing their things. Xu Xiancheng was carrying a wooden chair and was the first to see him and said, "Master is awake!"

Seeing the crowd gathered around, Shen Shi made a serious face on purpose: "You guys didn't wake me up for such a big matter, don't you take me seriously!"
