Chapter 1096 Are You Free?

The carriage left and returned to the way they came.

Zhao Gong looked back and saw it hidden in the sea of ​​people, and no longer at the end of the long street.

"My lord, what's the matter?" one of the subordinates asked.

"This person looks familiar," Zhao Gong said thoughtfully, "very familiar, and it doesn't seem familiar in a serious way."

"On the right path?" The subordinate also fell into deep thought, "My lord, it seems that you have never been to a brothel."

"Tsk!" Zhao Gong frowned angrily, "What nonsense?"

"Then what is the meaning of this serious path..."

"It's the meaning of eccentricity," Zhao Gong turned to the side door where the carriage stopped just now with his hands behind his back, "it's not familiar, like that girl A Li, I haven't seen her before, but it's the first time I saw her, I felt very familiar. As you can see, she is the younger sister of this eldest son's first wife."

"So that's the case." The subordinate nodded with a vague understanding.

Zhao Gong suddenly widened his clear black eyes: "I know who he is! It's him?"

"Senior, who is it?" Another subordinate hurriedly asked.

Zhao Gong said in a deep voice: "In the 21st year of Xuanyan, the Ministry of Rites repaired the Zhang Gu of the city defense, and was later promoted to Xiang Priest and Ding Yuejin."

"Ding Yuejin," the subordinate murmured, and then he was startled, "This subordinate remembered, but didn't it mean that he died of illness? My son, are you mistaken?"

"No," another subordinate said, "When this person saw us just now, his expression showed that he also knew Shi Ziye. If it wasn't for his own expression, we would not be able to confirm it."

"Interesting," Zhao Gong suddenly smiled, with white teeth, "In the 23rd year of Xuanyan, the Dianzhi Silang, who died of illness, actually sneaked and sneaked in Hengxiang."

The reason why Zhao Gong remembered this person deeply was that there was a bloody case that shocked the imperial capital at that time, that is, Lin Hongru, Minister of Rites, was wiped out all over his family.

In the following ten days, five officials from the Ministry of Rites passed away successively, and the people in the entire imperial capital talked a lot, saying that the Ministry of Rites was bewitched.

The existence of the Ministry of Rites, in addition to the order of the royal government and the education of the people, is also used to "exorcise evil spirits" and "avoid disasters" to a certain extent, to talk about the way of heaven, the earth, and all things.

This series of deaths is simply a slap in the face of the emperor.

This Ding Yuejin was one of those five officials.

Zhao Gong walked to the main gate of this inn, saying that it was an inn, and it would be more appropriate to describe it as a grand restaurant.

He looked up at the three large characters above.

Feishuang Pavilion.

·
Hearing that Shen Lie came back, Du Xuan thought the servant was joking.

He laughed twice, packed his things, and prepared to go back to Qingyue Pavilion, and then went to Wang Fengnian's place on the way to see what happened to Tu Xiaoxi.

Kang Jian half leaned against the head of the bed, his eyes passed through the open window and fell on the men walking and talking at the other end of the waterside pavilion.

The face of the young man in the middle is still unclear, but among the men of the same tall stature, with his elegant temperament and upright posture, he is eye-catching at a glance and stands out from the crowd.

"What a young master!" Kang Jian smiled weakly, "Brother Du, what a young master, the young master is back."

Du Xuan hurriedly turned around, stunned for a moment, put everything aside in surprise, and ran quickly: "Master!!"

"Wow, woof!" A burst of manic dog barking sounded almost simultaneously.

Du Xuan stepped back quickly, staring at the big yellow dog with wide eyes.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo up!" the dog who was frightened by Du Xuan who ran out suddenly kept barking, backing away while barking.

"This is the little fat guy mentioned in the letter?" Du Xuan raised his hand and gestured, "This, it's the big fat guy."

"This is Zhao Gong's dog." Shen Lie said, and asked his subordinates to stop it from barking.

"Zhao Gong?" Du Xuan laughed, rolled up his sleeves, and said to Big Yellow Dog, "Okay, let's have a dog meat hot pot tonight, what do you think, big fat?"

After being slapped on the forehead, the quiet rhubarb dog was ordered to change his face quickly, and he was already squatting upright, with his front legs arching and arching.

Du Xuan was amused: "This dog is quite interesting."

Shen Lie looked down at Goudan, then raised his hand to stroke its head.

"Let's get down to business later," Shen Lie looked at Du Xuan, "I'll go see Kang Jian first."

"Master." Kang Jian tried to get up from the bed, but Shen Lie told him to continue lying down.

A string of bells hangs under the eaves outside the window. The wind is strong tonight, and the ringing of the bells is crisp and clear, and the sound is like a musical instrument. With the room full of water, agarwood and fresh air, and all the ancient wooden furniture, it is particularly elegant.

Du Xuan stepped forward and whispered: "Kang Jian's injury was... Shen Wen's treatment."

"I already know." Shen Lie said.

"Then, can the young master see him?" Du Xuan paid close attention to Shen Lie's expression.

But even he, who has been by Shen Lie's side for many years, can't see through what he is thinking at this time. These deep and calm black eyes are more able to hide emotions.

"No," Shen Lie shook his head lightly, "There is no difference between seeing and not seeing."

As he said that, he looked at Kang Jian: "I heard what they said on the way back, you think the person who hurt you is a woman."

"The shape is very similar," Kang Jian tried to recall, "very flexible, especially flexible, and his sword is quite fast, fierce and sturdy, full of murderous intent."

"How many clues were found in the backyard?" Shen Lie asked Du Xuan and the others.

"Not many," Du Xuan said, "But there are not many women like this in the world, maybe we can investigate one by one..."

Seeing Shen Lie's eyebrows furrowed, Du Xuan couldn't help but said again: "Speaking of women, young master, what about Ah Li?"

Shen Lie frowned slightly: "She has something to do on the way, so she will be here a few days later."

"Then you guys...have been together day and night?"

Shen Lie raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

Du Xuan is bolder than Wu Shaoning, he can't hide what he wants to ask, his eyes are full of gossip, waiting for Shen Lie to continue.

Not only Du Xuan, but the room full of bright little eyes were all looking at their young master.

"You guys, are you free?" Shen Lie said.

"..."

In a blink of an eye, Shen Lie changed the subject: "Although Ah Li arrived late, her Xia family army is already outside the city. In the morning tomorrow, our soldiers and horses will enter the city together with the Xia family army."

"Tomorrow morning?" Du Xuan was taken aback, "This is, you want to take down Hengxiang?"

"Hengxiang is still Hengxiang, and it is Zhao Huien who is going to win."

Du Xuan was heartbroken and said happily: "That's great, this bad breath can be considered to be out."

Wu Shaoning and the others needed to go back to Qingyue Pavilion, but Shen Lie told them not to stay for long.

Du Xuan put back the things he had just packed up, wishing Shen Lie to have a rest earlier, but at the same time couldn't stop wanting to ask about the past six months and this journey.

Xu Yinjun, who heard that Shen Lie had arrived at Zhiyushuixie, asked people to prepare the wing room immediately, and then came to say hello to Shen Lie.

Previously in Youzhou, Xu Yinjun was in another road construction team, so he had never seen Shen Lie, but everyone who had seen Shen Lie praised him for his unparalleled elegance and beauty.

There were even a few people who hadn't read many books in their lives, and they spoke vulgar words when they opened their mouths. They personally described in front of Xu Yinjun, saying that Mr. Shen's beauty can turn this snow into a world of vitality.

Xu Yinjun understood what they meant by the "vigor in the world" in their words, and he was very surprised. This was a snowstorm that made everyone's fingers sore from the cold and made them complain endlessly.

Drowsy and dark, everyone's daily swear words are all used to scold Xue and the sky. However, in the mouths of these old swear words, this snow, which is tantamount to disaster, is not only recognized, but even given a romantic color.
