beautiful heart

When Bei Shanding came to the outside of the hall, Shi Yi also arrived just in time, and the two had a business talk outside before entering. Shui Jialing, who was notified by the eunuch, knew that the two were already outside, so she asked Xiaoyue to start serving breakfast.

Although Shui Jialing is now in Dongzhou, the cost of food and clothing is no different from that in Qi Palace, so the meals in the morning, lunch and dinner are very rich, and Shui Jialing doesn't particularly care about food, and she doesn't eat much , so the food and clothing in the mansion are completely left to Xiaoyue to take care of.

"Jia Ling, eat more," Bei Shanding hurriedly persuaded Shui Jialing to put a spoon when he saw Shui Jialing had eaten a bowl.

Today's breakfast is not much different from the daily breakfast after coming here. There are seven or eight dishes of porridge and soup such as bird's nest porridge, eight-treasure porridge, rock sugar stewed pear, etc., plus pastries and desserts, there are twelve dishes. It can also be seen that the utensils used to serve the dishes are very particular.

With Shui Jialing's current status, eating these is not a luxury. I haven't been to other places in Beishanding, so I don't know, but the meals of her parents and grandma are similar to this, or even more. There are very few of them, so basically most of them are wasted.

This made Beishan, who used to be unable to even eat, feel very uncomfortable, so he repeatedly advised his parents and grandma, and finally made his parents change a lot. Now the family basically eats two dishes for one person, which is enough. Extravagance and waste, do not eat delicacies, eat more seasonal vegetables and fruits.

For this reason, it not only greatly reduces the huge expenses of the family, but also allows excellent cooks to leave the palace to spread food outside. For Shui Jialing, her words of advice have always been difficult to say.

Because Shui Jialing has always eaten very little, if Beishan decides to persuade her, the food will be reduced, and I am afraid that Shui Jialing will eat even less at that time, not to mention that she is reluctant to let Shui Jialing go through hardships with her, so this is now The words of the mouth can't be said all the time.

The suffering and hardships in the past taught Bei Shanding to be frugal, and also let her know the hardships of the world, so since she was taken back to the East Palace of Xingcheng, she has always been very frugal. Of course, it is not stingy, but the money that should be spent There will be no less, and there will be no more than one child.

So every day when eating, Beishan will let Shi Yi pull Xiaoyue, but even so, the four of them still can't eat so much, so every day she will persuade Shui Jialing to eat more, but the effect is very poor, so far only her When Shui Jialing was persuaded for the first time, Shui Jialing ate half a bowl more, and then she didn't have any.

"Just stop for a while" To everyone's surprise, Shui Jialing didn't say she was full as she did a few days ago. Bei Shanding quickly and happily asked Shui Jialing what she wanted to eat, and then actively filled a bowl for her.

What made Kitayama Ding overjoyed was that Shui Jialing even finished the second bowl, but Kitayama Ding was very happy for a long time. Kitayama Ding always thought that thinness is beautiful, but too thin is not good, so it was the first time I watched it. Seeing that Shui Jialing ate so much, she was really happy from the bottom of her heart.

"I'm full, do you want to eat more?" Although she knew that Shui Jialing would not be able to eat anymore, Bei Shanding still couldn't help asking, because she still hoped that Shui Jialing could eat some more.

"I'm full, you don't have something to deal with, go ahead, don't delay." Shui Jialing is already very full after eating an extra bowl. She doesn't know why her appetite suddenly becomes so good today, but she knows that when it's time to eat Kitayama's mood will not settle down when the time comes.

I didn't expect that she would make Beishan Ding so happy if she ate an extra bowl today, so Shui Jialing was in a good mood, and when Beishan Ding looked at her eating with a silly smile, she suddenly thought of the word happiness, and also Feeling full of happiness.

"By the way, I still have to inspect the princess and Beishan, so I'll take a step first." Shi Yi, who suddenly remembered something, saluted and went out. Even Xiaoyue couldn't stop her from talking to her. Moon's mouth curled up.

"Brother walk slowly" This is at home and in front of all the court ladies and eunuchs, Beishan Ding is naturally called Brother Shi Yi, and even Shui Jialing calls it that way, because in ancient times the most important thing was order and etiquette .

"Jialing, I have something to tell you." Seeing that the leftover food on the table was untouched, Beishan Ding finally couldn't help but opened his mouth, and said with Shui Jialing's promise , "Food is the most important thing for the people, and now it is a troubled time, and food is very precious. I am afraid that many people can't even eat. It is really wrong for us to waste it for nothing." leftovers.

Following Bei Shanding's gaze, Shui Jialing also saw the untouched meals, and she understood the reason why Bei Shanding was in a bad mood when eating. It turned out that she couldn't bear to waste food. In fact, her meals were the same as her father's. Compared with Wang's, it was much simpler, so she didn't stop Xiaoyue.

What Shui Jialing didn't expect was that Beishan Ding, who was also a prince, would see things that others couldn't see from ordinary leftovers. Even food waste would make her uneasy, and reminded her that there were still people among the common people. She couldn't eat enough, and while admiring her, she also saw her extraordinaryness.

"Xiaoyue, it's enough to eat enough food in the future, don't need to be too extravagant." Seeing Beishan Ding looked at her anxiously, Shui Jialing understood that she was worried about herself, "I have eaten rough tea and light food before, it's fine."

"Jialing, you're so kind." Beishan never expected Shui Jialing to agree immediately, and happily pulled the jade hand in front of her eyes. If no one was present, she might not hold hands but hug her. Later she saw Only after a few brother-in-law's meals did I realize how insignificant my wife's meals are.

It was the first time to see the princess and the son-in-law so intimately in public. Everyone present blushed and lowered their heads. Even Xiaoyue, who was sitting on the other side, had red ears, and her hands and fingers kept stirring inside her sleeves. Those who knew thought she had met a lover.

Although it was the first time that they were so close outside, Kitayama Ding and Shui Jialing didn't feel that there was anything wrong. Instead, they felt that it was very natural, as if it should have been like this a long time ago. Maybe this is the psychological change that made the two of them really move towards each other. Fresh start.

After the meal was full, and the matters in his heart were dealt with satisfactorily, Bei Shanding had been thinking about the difficult case that had not yet been dealt with, so he quickly got up and talked to Shui Jialing and went to the study room where the affairs were handled in the outer courtyard. one afternoon.

Beishan decided to study the previous files of this case and the investigation book just received today, and finally found some clues. Most of the missing people were young girls who had not left the court. Some are men of other age groups, and there are no more than ten in total.

However, there are more than 30 missing young women, and the ratio is much higher than other people. This makes Beishan Ding puzzled. It's not easy to jump to conclusions about other clues, so I didn't say it.

While Bei Shanding was still thinking, there was a knock on the door outside, "Come in".

"See my lord, when the general was patrolling outside the city, he met a scarred man who claimed to have escaped after being kidnapped, please make a decision," Shi Yi said as soon as he came in, as if he was doing business.

It turned out that after breakfast this morning, Shi Yi went to various city gates to inspect, but the guards at all the city gates reported that there was no movement, and there was no suspicious person, which made her very anxious, because the case has not been broken. It has been unstable, and it will definitely change over time, so I went for a walk in the suburbs, and unexpectedly met this person.

"My family, you don't need to be too polite, and you can't do this in the future." I didn't expect Shi Yi to salute, so scared that Bei Shanding quickly got up to help the road, and couldn't help but say some more, until Shi Yi promised not to salute again.

After seeing the bruised man and listening to his self-report, Beishan Dinghe and everyone present were all furious, gritted their teeth, and filled with anger. Wen Zhong and others who came here after hearing the news were even more rare. The murderer, unfortunately, Beishan decided to think otherwise.

It turned out that the man was Shitou, the third child at home, and was kidnapped after being unconscious in the market more than ten days ago. After waking up, he arrived in a dark and damp dungeon. One of the men, after talking with them, found out that they were the ones who had disappeared one after another.

Since they were locked up, they haven't seen the sun, and even food and water are only provided once a day. What's even more annoying is that during the day, a middle-aged man will come to whip them, and they will be happy after the beating Gone, the oldest and the youngest couldn't stand it, and were beaten to death one after the other two days before the stone was caught in.

On the second day after he was captured, the stone could not escape, and he was still beaten all over his body. He also knew who the middle-aged man was, because he had seen Shuichang before, and he also knew from the guard's conversation. The missing women were locked in another dungeon, and every night a woman would be taken away.

When he was sent back the next day, he had a demented face, and his body was dirty and messy. It was obvious that he had been spoiled all night by the water chief, otherwise the guards would not have talked about those women as soon as they talked about it, and they would have been very dirty. The face is envious of Shui Chang's singing and singing every night, romantic and happy.

As a flesh-and-blood person, how can he not be angry, how can he not be filled with anger, not to mention that Beishan Ding and Shi Yi are both women, so inhuman and beastly behavior can be heard in the ear, how can one not hate the other in the heart? Burning with anger!Fortunately, Shi Shi was very clever, and with the help of everyone in the dungeon, he finally escaped with a narrow escape.

After Shi Yi heard this, she wished she could go to the water mansion in the suburbs to arrest the chief of the water immediately, but the government has its own rules, so she could only try her best not to grit her teeth too loudly. Why didn't Bei Shanding think so, and she could solve the case It's not like blindly grabbing a clue if you get a little clue.

So after listening to it, he didn't ask someone to catch the water chief immediately, but first asked Wen Zhong to check whether the identity of the stone was as he said, and after confirming it, he was just comforted, seeing that Xinzhou Mu did not send People went to catch the water chief and rescue those people, which made Shi Shi very sad and angry, and a big boy burst into tears on the spot.

After crying, he even scolded Beishan Ding on the spot, making Beishan Ding, who was scolded for the first time after coming here, turn red and then white, like a palette, and also let Beishan Ding understand that being an official is not so easy , so it can be imagined that the monarch will face more challenges.

"Presumptuous, my lord, you can insult me." This made Wen Zhong, who had been watching Bei Shanding worrying and busy about this matter, very angry, and even ignored Bei Shanding's presence on the spot, Shi Shi immediately realized his own innocence. The behavior was so bold that he trembled on the spot.

"Wen Zhong, don't be rude. Shitou, I can understand your feelings, and I really want to bring the culprit to justice, but arresting people based on your one-sided words is not only against the rules, but also unconvincing to the public. Let people go." Comparing his heart to heart, Bei Shanding slowly calmed down.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Mu was not so unbearable as he insulted, but because he did not produce certain evidence, which made Shi Shi very ashamed, and immediately saluted and apologized, and then took out a sign from the worn clothes and handed it up.

Beishan never expected that he had evidence, so he quickly asked someone to take it over and examine it carefully. The token is made of iron, with the special water chief engraved on the back and the guard engraved on the front, which is obviously unique to the Water Mansion. , smiled and sat behind the desk.

"Shi Yi immediately led two teams of family soldiers to the water mansion in the suburbs of the city to arrest the chief of the water, bypassing the guards and soldiers, making sure to get all the stolen goods, Wen Zhong followed him, Ma Ren took the stone down to rest, and asked Doctor Chen to give it to him. Take a look." As soon as Beishan finished making arrangements, everyone began to act according to the order.

Since coming to the capital city, there has never been a missing person. Obviously, the murderer has an eyeliner in ambush in the city. If he guessed correctly, he should be among the guards at the gates of the city. Therefore, Beishan will not dare to let Shi Yi lead the officers and soldiers to make a big splash Instead, let her take the family soldiers in the mansion to go secretly.

The family soldiers in the mansion are also the palace soldiers who protect the princess's daily safety. They have stayed in the mansion since they followed them to Dongzhou, so the right to call the family soldiers originally belonged to the princess alone, but Shui Jialing gave her full power to fight. Therefore, Bei Shanding now does not need to report to the employer, which saves a lot of time.

The head of water is none other than the former acting state herdsman and an uncle of Shui Jialing's branch. When the paperwork and rights were handed over, Bei Shanding and Shui Jialing specially hosted a banquet for him. Unexpectedly, the population The culprit of the disappearance was him.

This surprised Beishan Ding more or less, because she had thought of being a powerful person in Dongzhou, and also thought that she would be a local snake, but she never thought that she would be the chief of water, because the chief of water, no matter from From appearance to words and deeds, he is an elegant middle-aged scholar, not at all like someone who would do such a heinous thing.

But the stone that escaped spoke convincingly, and there were scars and tokens all over his body as evidence, so Beishan had to believe it. If only relying on the stone's one-sided words, Beishan would never believe it, nor would he take it rashly. Those who go to arrest people, after all, what they pay attention to in handling a case is evidence, otherwise how can they convince the public.

Everyone in the state pastoral mansion has been replaced by the housekeeper, so Beishan doesn't have to worry about the news getting lost. On the contrary, she is worried about Shui Jialing. After all, Shui Chang is also her cousin, but now she has done so much She will definitely feel sad and blame herself for such a heinous thing.

As soon as Shi Yi came out of the study, he asked Wen Zhong to gather the family soldiers, and then sent a captain of the family soldiers to each city gate to convey the news that all the guard soldiers had gathered at the east gate. They began to gather at the east gate. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shi Yi led his family soldiers to the water mansion outside the west gate.

Because Shi Shi just escaped at noon today, the guards were busy chasing him and did not report in time, so when Shi Yi led his men to the Water Mansion, he really caught the other party by surprise, and it was easy to get all the stolen goods. A natural thing.

Fortunately, when Shi Yi arrived at the water mansion in time, he not only saved a woman who was about to be ruined, but also caught the water chief who was about to do something, and Shi Yi gave him a few kicks on the spot Fortunately, Wen Zhong stopped him in time, otherwise he would have to be kicked to death.
