The convoy entering the city entered through the back door of the government office, and the government soldiers at the door looked around vigilantly. After all the officers and soldiers escorting the convoy entered, they immediately closed the door and stood guarding the door with an official knife.

Of course, such a low wall couldn't stop Ling Xiao and the others at all.

Just as Ling Xiao was about to fly up to the roof with Yunjinghu, he saw Mo Yun flying up to the roof with his cub's slender waist in his arms.

......

Forget it, the water splashed by the married cubs.

Ling Xiao wiped his face, and flew up to the roof together. They lay on the eaves and looked into the yard.

More than a dozen people in the yard were waiting in line, and an elderly man next to him was anxiously pacing back and forth on the spot.

Suddenly, a man in an azure official uniform hurried over from the front yard. After seeing several empty boxes that had been opened, he frowned and slowed down.

The young man's appearance was clear and gentle, with the air of a dignified gentleman.

Even though the official boots under his feet were covered with mud, and the corners of his robe were also stained by rain and mud, they could not hide his elegance and humility at all.

"This person looks somewhat familiar." Ling Xiao stroked his chin, and thoughtfully poked the silver dragon on his wrist, "Look at it?"

Tan Yuan, who was wrapped around his finger, said lightly: "Can't you recognize him? He is Shen Cong'an's grandson, Shen Lingjun."

"Shen Cong'an, this name sounds familiar." Ling Xiao began to think harder.

Tan Yuan flicked his tail lightly: "Shen Cong'an was the minister of rites during the Shengwu period. I saw that he was a proud man, and later he was promoted to be a cabinet scholar. It's just that after he came to the position, he actually wanted to seal you up." In order to guide the future, I was sent to be a third-rank envoy."

After being reminded by Tan Yuan, Ling Xiao suddenly realized that Shen Cong'an simply resigned and went back to his hometown Lin'an with his family members.

However, in order to show the emperor's heart to care for his loyal ministers, Tan Yuan still ordered someone to bestow a thousand taels of gold as the settlement allowance for the veterans, and also awarded an iron coupon of the Danshu to the Shen family, which was regarded as the emperor's last favor.

Looking at the appearance of that young man Shen Lingjun again, Ling Xiao was startled.It's strange that he thinks this person looks familiar, but Shen Lingjun's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to his grandfather's when he was young, and his eyes are very clear and clean.

"Didn't the old man give an order to his family when he went back, not to allow the descendants of the Shen family to take the official examination again?" Ling Xiao twitched his lips, recalling that Shen Congwen made a statement again in order to oppose Tan Yuan's appointment as a man. , Kneeling at the Meridian Gate again, it can be said that he is the most fierce person in the opposition.

From Shen Cong'an's point of view, as long as Yunxi, the male empress, takes the throne, Tanyuan's fame will be ruined, the great Yong Dynasty's country will be ruined, and the people of the world will be in dire straits.

Anyway, to sum it up in one sentence, as a man, Yun Xi served others with sex and seduced the king, which is a heinous crime that cannot be pardoned.

If it wasn't for Tan Yuan being cautious and sending someone to keep an eye on him, I'm afraid the old man would have crashed to death at the gate of the palace back then.

However, Ling Xiao was not polite to him when he objected so fiercely.

He directly asked the old man's three sons to be invited to the palace gate, knelt down together with the old man, and told the old man in a treacherous tone: "See that white jade lion next to you? Hey, you aim and hit it, and soon you will You can get what you want. But you crashed to death here, and your blood splashed the palace gate. It seems that you have won the title of Zhongliang, but your three sons watched you crash to death. Guess, will they bear the burden? Infamy for being unfilial, loyal, righteous, or fraternal?"

These words immediately stunned the old man.

Ling Xiao smiled and told the old man again: "Tan Yuan has only ascended to the throne of God not long ago, you old guy will force you to die, and let him bear the notoriety of cruelty and loyalty. You are lucky, you have earned a clean reputation for nothing, and your heart can be punished. "

Ling Xiao's ingenious "persuasion" probably worked. Shen Cong'an handed in a memorial to beg for the bones the next day, and Tan Yuan readily agreed.

It was only later that Ling Xiao heard in the palace that Shen Cong'an had set down the family rules, and the descendants of the Shen family were not allowed to take the imperial examination to become officials. He wanted to see what would happen to the Emperor Shengwu who didn't listen to his loyal words.

At that time, Ling Xiao still felt quite regretful. After all, Shen Cong'an's three sons were all outstanding talents, but because of the old father's order, they had to stay at home, full of talents and ambitions, and had nowhere to display them.

Now seeing the descendants of the Shen family come out to be officials again, Ling Xiao was quite relieved in addition to being surprised.

The red light on Shen Lingjun's head gathered and did not disperse, it was clearly Wenqu descending to the earth, it seems that his family will definitely win another virtuous minister in the court in the future.

While Ling Xiao was thinking about it, he heard the yamen servant with a knife on his head speak up.

"My lord, my subordinates were ordered to go to Youzhou, but more than a dozen of us brothers knelt and waited for two days in the prefect's mansion, but we didn't see the prefect's face. The people in the prefect's mansion refused to say that the prefect was sick and couldn't see us... ...The subordinates are worried that there will be changes in Anyi City, so they can only bring the brothers back first."

The leading yamen soldier looked ashamed, as if he was ashamed and uneasy because he failed to complete the task, "I remember your order when I returned to the city, and sealed the wooden box tightly when I returned to the city. After seeing it, the people in the city really felt relieved."

Shen Lingjun heard the words, but patted him on the shoulder lightly: "Very good, I know you have tried your best. The eunuch Guo Qi refused to see you, it was not because of you, but because of me. His father and I Grandpa used to be a minister in the same palace, and there was quite a quarrel between the two of them. It's just that he would use the public to report his own interests, which I never thought of."

Hearing this, the yamen soldier tried to comfort Shen Lingjun after a moment of silence: "Even if the prefect refuses to help, as long as the disaster situation reaches His Majesty's desk, the relief money from the imperial court will arrive soon."

However, Shen Lingjun chuckled: "You said he even dared to blatantly ignore the disaster situation here, how could he truthfully report the disaster information to the imperial court?"

The yamen soldier was in a hurry: "Isn't he afraid that it will be revealed later that His Majesty will be held accountable?"

Shen Lingjun shook his head slowly: "Afterwards, he only said that he had never received the disaster report, so he could probably push the matter away. After all, Youzhou is too far away from Anyi, and the heavy rain came too urgently. The most urgent thing is not the prefect. The obstacle over there is the people in the city."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present fell silent.

"This official gathered all the grain sold by all the rice shop merchants in the city and the grain stored in the warehouse, and it could barely last for more than half a month. Now that the rice warehouse is about to bottom out, this official has already entrusted someone to purchase supplies from nearby towns. Once the side is done, it will not be difficult to support it for another half a month." Shen Lingjun glanced at the row of empty boxes displayed in the yard, and said lightly.

"It's a thoughtful person to be able to make two-handed preparations under such circumstances." Yun Jinghu praised softly.

"My lord, the rainstorm stopped suddenly today, and the sky is clear at the moment. Could it be that the rainstorm has passed?" Another person looked at Shen Lingjun expectantly.

Shen Lingjun frowned: "I saw from the viewing tower that although the dark clouds near the sea have dissipated, the dark clouds on the distant sea have not dissipated. No one knows whether the rainstorm will continue. Speaking of which, this The torrential rain is also strange, and this official suspects that there may be some human force involved in it."

Ling Xiao, who was lying on the eaves, touched his nose.

"By the way, there are so many monks from various sects and sects living in the Juxian Building, and my lord has not had time to meet them. Do you think they will do it?" The housekeeper next to him suddenly remembered those Guessing the greeting card handed over by the immortal master of the sect.

Shen Lingjun sighed: "This disaster is not a simple torrential rain, but caused by a monster. If the disaster is to be resolved, the monster must be eradicated."

"He looks so good-looking." Hu Wei, who was lying on the roof with her hands on her cheeks, suddenly let out a sigh of emotion, "He looks so good-looking even when he sighs."

Xu Qingyang next to him glanced expressionlessly at the junior sister beside him, but Hu Wei didn't notice his gaze at all, and continued to stare at Shen Lingjun in the yard with dazed eyes.

"Silly girl, you're back to your senses." Xu Qingyang slapped Hu Wei on the back of the head unceremoniously.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Hu Wei pushed Xu Qingyang's hand away a little unhappy, and counterattacked back with an elbow.

Xu Qingyang lightly supported Hu Wei's arm: "Don't look, this Mr. Shen already has his own heart."

"You, how do you know? Don't you just make up a lie to lie to me?" Hu Wei looked at Xu Qingyang dubiously, and at the same time kicked him dishonestly.

Xu Qingyang avoided the sneak attack of his junior sister with familiarity: "Look at the necklace on his waist, it is a custom in this place, and only lovers who already have their own hearts will go to Marshal Yuqing's temple to ask for this kind of necklace. Come put it on."

Ling Xiao, who was suddenly cue, wiped his face silently, and he also accidentally expanded his business scope.

Suddenly, the two who were making small movements froze in place.

Not only them, Shangguan Muyun and Mo Yun also slowly turned their heads to look at them.

There was only a click, and the roof where several people were hiding suddenly collapsed, and tiles and beams fell together.

Ling Xiao floated to the ground like a piece of catkins, and was dressed in white without any dust.

Although the other people were not as calm and elegant as him, they all landed safely.

Then, a few people on Lingxiao's side stared at Shen Lingjun and the others opposite.

"Who are you, how dare you trespass into the official office!" The leader of the guards beside Shen Lingjun immediately drew his sword and stepped forward to protect him, and yelled at the few people who were accompanied by the roof tiles falling from the sky.

"Ah..." Ling Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then turned his gaze to Shangguan Muyun who was dusting his body beside him, "That's right, this is an official office, you can't come in casually."

Shangguan Muyun was also taken aback for a moment, then reservedly took out a handkerchief, covered the corner of his mouth and coughed, like a delicate and beautiful frail beauty, as if one more word could kill her.

Xu Qingyang and Hu Wei took two steps back guiltily, one looked up at the sky and the other looked down at the ground.

More than a dozen pairs of eyes on the opposite side fell on Yunjinghu.

"Master Shen, we are all enthusiastic monks who came to help Anyi to subdue demons." Yun Jinghu clasped his hands, performed a common etiquette among monks, and said nonsense solemnly, "It's not our intention to disturb you. It's just that we are eager to get rid of the demons, which disturbed the adults, and I hope you will forgive me."

Shen Lingjun stared at Yunjing Lake, his eyes became slightly surprised.

I saw him take a step forward, lifted his official robe and knelt down: "My subordinate, Shen Lingjun, pay my respects to the emperor."
