Chapter 77 Want to add a crime

The sky in Saibei is always gray, and a fishy smell can be smelled from a long distance. After careful identification, it is the smell of blood. When Shen Yu and his party arrived in Yancheng, everyone's face was covered with dust and exhaustion.

Standing on the high city wall, Xuanli watched the people on horseback approaching from far to near. The leader was Shen Yu, the eldest son of Shen Shangshu.

As he got closer to the city gate, Shen Yu finally let go of the rein and let the horse slow down. Xuan Li was finally able to see the person coming more clearly. Although the person on the horse looked tired, he still couldn't hide the picturesque eyes His face, neat and slender sword eyebrows, straight nose bridge, full of heroism, is not at all like the little boy I met in the palace when I was a child. The little boy at that time was soft and waxy, carved with jade.

Just as he was looking carefully, those peach blossom eyes suddenly met him, and Xuan Li crashed into those eyes like this, and his whole body was paralyzed.

Shen Yu noticed that someone was staring at him, and when he looked up, he saw the outstanding person on the city wall.

That man looked like a modest gentleman, with a dignified appearance and full of nobility. The black and gray brocade robe made him slender and straight. Such a person is suitable for the battlefield?Shen Yu murmured in her heart.

But he forgot about himself, wouldn't a young master also go to the battlefield?

Xuan Li knew that he was rude, and secretly scolded himself: Why are you so unbelievable!Can't move your feet or eyes when you see people?The Xuan family lost all face!

Hurry down from the city wall to pick up people.

Shen Yu got off the horse, and the entourage came over to help him lead him. Before he could speak, the heavy city gate was slowly opened, and Xuanli came out.

"Mr. Shen, you have worked hard." Xuan Li smiled gently and politely, obviously he was in an official position, but he bowed slightly, and said with cupped hands.

Shen Yu didn't know this person, and didn't understand the official position, so he hurriedly returned the gift, "I'm here, Shen Yu, please excuse me, my lord."

"Follow me into the city, the emperor has ordered me to clean up young master Shen."

After Shen Yu heard this, her doubts only increased.I only had a relationship with the Holy One once, and the emperor has a lot of things to do every day. Do you still remember him as a mere grassroots?Also, does this person in front of him know him?

Seemingly aware of Shen Yu's doubts, Xuan Li smiled again, and said as he walked, "Shen Shangshu's sons are brilliant and famous, it's hard not to know."

Probably because the admiration was too easy-going, Shen Yu finally asked, "May I ask what your name is?"

"The Adhan."

Shen Yu glanced at this man in surprise, the prime minister's son actually appeared here?No matter how much he disliked officialdom, he knew all the people who should be known, but the names didn't match the people.Shouldn't this person stay with the prince?I have been the prince's companion since I was a child. I heard from my father that this person is very popular with the prince and the emperor. He does not have an official position in the court, but he is a noble person in front of him.

"I'm sorry, please come and pick up the grassroots." As soon as you enter the officialdom, you have to be careful and choose your words carefully.

The Xuan Li was surprisingly gentle, "You don't have to be so ignorant. When you get here, don't take your status too seriously. On the battlefield, everyone is a brother and compatriot. You and I are about the same age. Just call me by my name." Can."

He still has a little bit of selfishness. Ever since he saw that side when he was a child, he couldn't forget this person. Although he didn't have the opportunity to interact with him again, he has heard others say that the young master of the Shen family is a kind person, and he is very kind. Shi is also knowledgeable and talented. If he doesn't like official career, he really doesn't get in touch with him. He dares to love and hate. In short, he lives recklessly and unrestrainedly.

Now that I finally saw the real person, my intimacy grew stronger.

People are always like this, the more things they can't get, the more they want to touch and get closer.

Shen Yu felt that this prime minister's son was a little hard to see through, either because he was hiding it too deeply, creating a false impression that people could get close to him, or he was just like that by nature, a gentle and modest gentleman.

The two had their own thoughts, but Shen Yu didn't dare to call them by their names, and was still "Master Xuan."

The Adhan did not emphasize the address again, but just led the people to the dormitory.

It was getting late, and Xuan Li didn't bring anyone to meet the emperor. Besides, it was rare to win the battle today, but Xuan Ling fell ill, with a moderate fever, so he went back to the city and saw the imperial doctor. , has stopped.

After arranging everything, Xuanli called a few people over, and then hurried back to Xuan Ling. He had been away for more than an hour. Before he left, Mr. Su Lengsu had secretly confessed that he would follow Xuan Ling every step of the way, and he should not be careless. .

When they went back, Xuan Ling had already woken up, and was wearing a robe and sitting on the couch to read the brochures, which were sent by Xuan Yi in a hurry, and they were about the corruption and riots in Ji County in the south.

Xuan Li stepped forward, picked out the wick again, and made hot tea again. He had already asked the people waiting outside, saying that the emperor had already eaten.

Xuan Ling put down the booklet, rubbed his forehead, and asked in a low voice, "Is everything settled?"

"Go back to the emperor, everything has been settled. I thought you had already fallen asleep, so I didn't bring you any trouble."

"Let him go directly to General Yang tomorrow, and I can rest assured that he will follow him. Let him take up a civil post."

"According to the order."

After finishing the order, Xuan Ling closed his eyes and thought again, how should the Shen family deal with it? That Shen Li really cannot get away with it this time, even if he is framed, he will still suffer a lot, Take the stolen goods and get them together", no one can protect them if they want to.

In Southern Thorn County, the bustling and bustling streets were more lively than ever, but the sky seemed not so blue anymore. People gathered together in twos and threes to talk about something. A man with triangular eyes and mustache looked fierce and yelled: Humph!What did I tell you before? !You still don't believe me, the county magistrate is like a dog, he usually pretends to be easy-going and close to the people, but now the country is at war, but he is engaging in corruption? !

Another older man said: "Wang Er, don't say that. We were favored by him before. I was just a beggar on the side of the road. Since he came to be a parent officer, we have all been helped. This is indisputable." fact...

A woman looked regretful: Alas, I heard from the servant that the officials sent by the above have already produced evidence, and I heard that the person has been secretly raped. Confused!

The mustache said again: There are too many beasts in clothes!You are the benevolence of women, and you will be grateful for a lifetime if you receive a little favor from others?That's what he was supposed to do!Shouldn't an official be considerate of the people in everything?

The young man who looked like a scholar really couldn't listen anymore: Did the previous county magistrate do anything for us?Hmph, not all officials are like Mr. Shen... Besides, there are several business firms here that belong to his family. They have a lot of money, so there is no need for corruption!

The mustache stared at those triangular eyes: Yo ho? !You're still playing with me, aren't you?People get all the stolen goods, no one can argue!

The saliva almost splashed on the little scholar's face, the little scholar's fair face was full of disgust and fear, and timidly hid behind the old man.

The old man can only smooth things over: that's all, let's leave it to the people above to decide, we are soft-spoken and resign ourselves to fate.

The county magistrate's mansion is heavily guarded everywhere.

Shen Li's official uniform had been stripped off, and he was only wearing a white undershirt. He was sitting on a wooden chair in the center, his hands were tied with ropes and cut backwards, and his big eyes were calmly staring at the person across from him.

The person on the opposite side looked confident, his eyes were full of pity, and after a while, "Master Shen, are you still pleading guilty?"

Shen Li turned his eyes away and kept silent.This appearance immediately angered the person on the opposite side, that person stood up, approached Shen Li, and a gloomy voice rang in his ears: Shen Li, don't force me to torture you.

"If you want to add a crime, there is no excuse, but I am innocent, so how can I plead guilty!"

A slap was slapped on Shen Li's face so heavily, blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth immediately, Shen Li laughed, and said the same thing: Even if I die, I, Shen Li, will not admit to this unwarranted crime.

At the same moment, in Shen's mansion, a steed neighed and stopped. The man on horseback showed his token and ran all the way into the mansion. He presented a letter with both hands. Shen Yun opened it and read it, then sat down on a chair. inside.

The author has something to say:

The Adhan was released at last.
