Tang riddles

Li Bai is currently staying at the Qingyun Temple in Jiangling City. The reason why he didn't go with his wife to stay at his wife's brother-in-law's house is because he still wants to visit some famous people in Jiangling City.

Regarding the kit, Shen Sui also learned some more crucial information from Li Bai.

After he left Chang'an in early December last year, he went to Yizhou and met Li Zhongyuan at that time.In other words, the time period of Li Zhongyuan's entrusting the package to his good brothel woman was not a few days away.Shen Sui obliquely asked what the two did after they met, but Li Bai was a little vague, as if he was hiding something.Shen Sui had reason to speculate that Li Bai might know something, but he also had scruples.At first, because he was still drinking, he talked quickly and talked about Li Zhongyuan. After that, he gradually realized that it seemed that he shouldn't say these things, so he kept his mouth shut. There were also roundabout inquiries about Shen Sui. Be vigilant.

Shen Sui didn't ask any more questions, this information is enough, I believe that Yizhou should be able to find out something soon.

After entering Jiangling City, Shen Sui bid farewell to Li Bai and agreed to introduce Li Bai to Zhang Shuo the next day.Li Bai was grateful again, and the swordsman, who was addicted to wine and fond of poetry, bowed his horse and left.

Shen Sui was riding on the horse, looking at the carriage behind him, his eyes were slightly fixed.It wasn't until Li Bai disappeared at the end of the street that Shen Sui clamped the horse's belly again and urged the horse to go back.

She gave Hutuo a look, and Hutuo immediately turned his horse's head and left with a whip, heading for Changfeng Hall in Jiangling.

Shen Sui believed that there would be news tonight.

After a tiring day, when returning to the governor's mansion, Shen Sui had to face Xiao Zhongfei, the governor of Jiangling who was smiling all over his face.She could only watch Zhang Ruohan enter the inner mansion surrounded by Wu Ya and Qian He, and stay in the outer hall to talk with Xiao Zhongfei.

The only purpose of Xiao Zhongfei looking for Shen Sui was to get her to drink.The governor has been holding back for many days, and Shen Sui has been closing the door of the Inner Palace to thank guests, making it very difficult to get close.He finally went out today, so he must seize the opportunity to thank him.

Shen Sui didn't refuse anymore, so he went to the banquet with Xiao Zhongfei.It wasn't until she went to the banquet that she realized that she had fallen into a trap.On the banquet, there are many family members.Xiao Zhongfei's official wife, Yao Shi, and two daughters were present at the banquet. Shen Sui looked at these people looking at him with naked eyes that seemed to swallow others, and he already knew what the governor Xiao was going to do.

Xiao Zhongfei patted his round belly, with a smile on his round face, he warmly invited Shen Sui to the table.Shen Sui bit the bullet and sat down, but his expression was calm.He only thought about how to hide this matter from Zhang Ruohan.

Xiao Zhongfei introduced his wife and daughter, especially the two daughters, and Shen Sui looked at them.The facial features are very good. When Xiao Zhongfei was young, he was considered a romantic talent and was very handsome. However, as he grew older, his figure became a little out of shape. His daughter's appearance is not bad, but... It's not unavoidable. Too rich.Now many people love this kind of girl, who is round and jade-like, presumably Xiao Zhongfei is very satisfied with his two daughters.But Shen Sui didn't like it, she still liked Zhang Ruohan, and she would only like Zhang Ruohan.

After Xiao Zhongfei finished talking about his thoughts in a roundabout way, Shen Sui had no choice but to politely reject him:

"Sui already has a marriage contract, Mr. Zhang saw it for Sui, and Sui himself is very satisfied."

"But... that one?" Xiao Zhongfei's smile did not change, and he motioned to Shen Sui with his eyes.

Shen Sui secretly laughed, how could Zhang Ruohan become someone who couldn't mention his name.But she still nodded, since Xiao Zhongfei knew that he had a marriage contract, why bother to rush to get on him?

"It doesn't matter. There is no man who has one wife and two concubines. My Xiao family's daughter is no worse than Qu Jianggong's daughter. However, Zhang Gong is highly respected after all, and our Xiao family doesn't care about being wronged. Uncle Zhao, what do you think? Tell me whoever you like.”

Shen Sui really wanted to roll his eyes and show him. If nothing else, Xiao Zhongfei, who gave his daughter as a gift, made her very angry.She looked at the two young girls from the Xiao family who were facing each other. They both looked shy, and they didn't feel dissatisfied or wronged when they were given as gifts by their father.Seeing Shen Sui looking over, they lost no time in throwing small glances at Shen Sui, showing their respective charms.Shen Sui had goosebumps all over his body, and was speechless, secretly thinking that the whole family was hopeless.

Fortunately, a savior appeared in time.I don't know which kind-hearted person told Zhang Shuo about Xiao Zhongfei's banquet with Shen Sui, but Zhang Shuo rushed in with a face of anger, and once he came in, he didn't give Xiao Zhongfei any face, pointed at his nose and scolded :

"Xiao Zhongfei, you old boy is full, and you dare to rob me?"

"Hey!" Xiao Zhongfei leaned back in fright, fell directly on the banquet, and said:

"Zhang Gong forgive me, Zhang Gong forgive me, I really don't mean anything malicious. If your family is bigger and mine is smaller, isn't that all right?"

Zhang said that his face was very dark, how could his fiancé and son-in-law be dragged into the concubine's room before they got married, wouldn't this mean to make things difficult for him?So he swears at Xiao Zhongfei. As a leader in the literary world, Zhang Gong never uses dirty words when swearing, but he can make people feel ashamed, so he can only kneel there and admit his mistakes.

Thus, a farce broke up unhappy.When Shen Sui accompanied Zhang Gong back to the guest room in the inner mansion, he still hadn't recovered.

"Bo Zhao, you have to be careful. Now that you have solved the two big cases of Ci'en and Zhu Yuanmao, you have become a favorite. Everyone thinks that you have a bright future, and everyone wants to snatch you away, or go to your side. Cypriots, you can take care of yourself." Zhang said very earnestly.

"Sui's dullness made Mr. Zhang worry." Shen Sui hurriedly bowed to apologize.

Zhang said he looked at her, with loving kindness in his eyes again, and said:

"Forget it, young people are always a bit tender in this regard, and I can't blame you. I know you are wholehearted in your care for the maidservant. When I saw her come back today, she was in a good mood. It seems that she should have a good impression of you? "

Shen Sui could only nod his head, with a shy smile on his face.It's really hard for her to say anything, could it be that: I have done almost everything with your niece today, and we just missed the door, do you think she has a good impression of me?

"Hahahahaha..." Looking at Shen Sui's expression, Zhang Shuo knew that Zhang Ruohan's life-long event had finally come to an end, so he couldn't help being very happy, and he stroked his beard and laughed.

Shen Sui's ears turned red, and he said in his heart: Shibo, stop laughing, everyone in the governor's mansion should hear it.

"Okay, okay, Haoerlang, you have to treat our lotus maid well." Zhang said, patting Shen Sui on the shoulder, and then he seemed to remember something, and said, "I almost forgot. By tomorrow night, a few prisoners will be delivered to Jiangling City."

"Okay, I'll go to interrogation immediately." Shen Sui nodded.

Zhang said with a smile: "Then, let's rush back to Chang'an as soon as possible, hand in the errand, and arrange the marriage between you and the lotus maid."

Shen Sui's heart tightened, secretly thinking that this matter must not be rushed, but she did not express it on the surface, as if everything was decided by Zhang's words.Because she knew that it was not appropriate to show resistance at this time, otherwise it would arouse Zhang Shuo's suspicion and resentment, and cause unnecessary misunderstandings, which is very bad.She also wanted to introduce Li Bai to Zhang Shuo, and this was related to whether she could win Li Bai's trust, and whether she could extract something she wanted to know from Li Bai.

After Huatou, Shen Sui mentioned Li Bai's matter to Zhang Shuo, Zhang Shuo nodded and said:

"I've heard of Li Taibai's name, and I've seen his works. He's talented. Well, for your sake, I'll see him tomorrow. Anyway, idle is idle, haha Ha ha……"

Shen Sui sweated secretly: Brother Taibai, I tried my best, tomorrow will depend on your performance.

Shen Sui didn't have time to accompany Li Bai to develop his official career. She still had a lot of work to do tomorrow, such as Jiangling City's security work. Maybe she had to pick up the prisoners herself. She had to confirm that a few prisoners could reach Jiangling safely.For some reason, she always had an ominous premonition, which made her a little restless.

After talking to Zhang Ruohan, Shen Sui went to his room, hesitantly wanted to talk to Zhang Ruohan outside Zhang Ruohan's room many times on the way, but finally held back.After all, this is the Governor's Mansion, unlike Zhang Hua's, there are too many eyes and ears, so it's better for her to restrain herself.

Standing outside his room, Shen Sui hesitated for a moment, then suddenly came up with an idea.She curled her right index finger to her lips, and blew several loud whistles in succession. Then, changing the volume and tone, she blew a clear and pleasant whistle.Not long after, a very familiar white-tailed swift flapped its wings and came to Shen Sui's head, circled around her, landed on her finger, and chirped at her, looking very intimate.

"Good bird, you really still follow us." Shen Sui said to it with a smile, "How about it, Jiangnan is beautiful."

twitter……

"Good bird, please do me another favor and deliver a letter to her." After speaking, Shen Sui brought the white-tailed swift into the house, quickly wrote a short message, tied it to the swift's foot, Then send it out the window.

As soon as the white-tailed swift was sent away, Shen Sui saw Shen Jin appearing outside his open door, looking at him and smiling.Shen Sui also smiled, walked out the door, and patted her head habitually.

【Sister, how are you doing today? ] Shen Jin asked her.

"Very good." Shen Sui's evaluation of today is only these two words, very good, indeed very good, it can't be better.

She sat with Shen Jin on the crossbar of the veranda, slanted her body, bent her left leg and put it on the crossbar, leaning against the wooden pillar, with the moonlight shining on her half face, she was as handsome as a banished fairy.Shen Jin thought to himself, sister really fell in love, it seems to be different, more and more beautiful.

"Guess who I met today?" Shen Sui asked mischievously.

Shen Jin raised her eyebrows. Naturally, she couldn't guess it. She just waited for sister to answer.

"Li Taibai." Shen Sui smiled narrowly, as if Li Bai was some kind of weird and funny person.

[Li Taibai?Why is he here. 】Shen Jin asked curiously.

"After he left Shu, except for traveling far away, he settled in Anlu. His father-in-law is also from Jingzhou. He has no fixed place and lives in his wife's house. It's not surprising that he will appear here." She explained, "But there are The thing is very strange. He had contacted Li Zhongyuan in December last year, which is very suspicious. I have already sent Hutuo to the Jiangling branch, and the matter about Li Bai must have been sent to Yizhou by now. The matter about him and Li Jinyue related."

[Such a coincidence? 】

"Yeah, why is it such a coincidence? It seems to be a good idea." Shen Sui closed his eyes slightly, and the evening wind floated a strand of hair that fell from her forehead, and the hair crossed her eyelashes, causing her long eyelashes to tremble. .

Shen Jin felt that there was a thrilling beauty in this picture.

"Later, there should be another piece of news about him, about who he came into contact with after coming down from Zhang Huatai today."

【What does this mean? 】 Shen Jin asked.

"He sent his wife to stay at a relative's house for a short stay, and when he came back alone, there was one sitting in the empty carriage, no, according to the weight of the ruts, there should be two people, two women inside." Shen Sui seemed to be answering Shen Jin , but after the words are exported, they seem to be talking to themselves.But Shen Jin could understand sister's meaning, she was used to it, every time sister was thinking while chatting with her, it would be like this.

So she didn't answer.

"Qin Nu, today I met two Nestorians, a nun and her maid. They stopped on the way and tried to walk with me, but I left them behind." Shen Sui said without thinking. .

Shen Jin's eyes flickered for a moment, and he looked up at her in surprise.After a while she asked:

[Is it them? 】

"Perhaps, very likely." Shen Sui said.

The two women in Li Bai's carriage were most likely the two Nestorians. This was Shen Sui's speculation. Shen Jin guessed it quickly, and now he is waiting for confirmation from Hutuo.

【Sister, Jiangling City is not safe. 】

Shen Sui looked at her with deep eyes, Shen Jin continued:

[A letter from Chang'an, it's about Dark Crow.The traitor was found out, it was Mrs. Yan.Not caught, she escaped.Another person was missing. It was Lady Yan's attendant, a nanny surnamed Ying. 】

Shen Sui smiled and said:

"It's really not safe anymore. There are grievances and debtors. We were approached by someone."

Shen Jin was silent for a moment and said:

【when are we leaving? 】

"A few criminals will arrive in Jiangling tomorrow night, and they will leave after the trial at the earliest tomorrow night." Shen Sui said.

[Can't it be judged? 】 Shen Jin asked.

Shen Sui shook his head and said:

"They have clues about the mastermind behind the scenes, and they must be interrogated."

[So, not only are they insecure, but we are even more insecure. 】

"We still have to take a risky interrogation, otherwise there will be no more clues, and we can only spend more effort to find the missing Mrs. Yan." Shen Sui said again after deliberation.

[Why didn't you try in Kuizhou? If the trial was over then you'd be fine?It's really a lot of side effects. ] Shen Jin was a little angry.

"This is the judicial process. I can't disrupt the process, and I can't show abnormal urgency, otherwise it will arouse the suspicion of the superiors, which is even worse. What's more, when we left Kuizhou, the four juniors of the Zhou family hadn't been caught yet, so I had to go to Jiangling and others." Shen Sui said.

[If you doubt it, doubt it, it is better than losing your life now. 】

"Qin Nu, when have you ever seen me afraid?" Shen Sui's eyes reflected coldly under the moonlight.

Shen Jin stopped talking, and she almost didn't exist in the shadow of the corridor, only her slightly rapid breathing could be heard.

The two sisters sat quietly under the moonlight. Perhaps it is more appropriate to describe it as a confrontation.Until the sound of flapping wings came, Shen Sui stretched out his hand, caught the flying white pigeon, untied the envelope, and took out the letter to read.After reading it, she handed the letter to Shen Jin, and said:

"Leave tomorrow night, this is the order of the sect master, there is no need to talk about it."

Shen Jin looked down and saw the five words above: a nun is sitting in the car.

She sighed deeply and said:

[I hope the innocent will not be implicated. 】

Shen Sui was thinking, after all, she still had to go to Zhang Ruohan's room in person tonight.
