marquis of jingan

Chapter 126

After Ding Man went to the teahouse to inform Shen Yi, Shen Yi and Ding Man went back to the courtyard where Xu Fu and Ding Man rented to wait.

Because there is really no way.

Shen Yi has no way to communicate with the inner guard. He doesn't even know where the inner guard handles the case, and it is impossible to go directly to the palace to find the inner guard, so he can only wait here.

After all, the inner guard is also considered one of the imperial court's institutions. Since it is an imperial court's institution, it should not be possible for Xu Fu to disappear so quietly.

No matter what, I have to give an explanation.

In this way, Shen Yi and Ding Man waited from morning to afternoon.

Neither of them ate.

It wasn't until Shen Shi in the afternoon, that is, near the evening, that there was no movement outside the door.

Someone knocked on the door.

Hearing the knock on the door, Ding Man stood up immediately, and wanted to rush to the gate of the courtyard, but Shen Yi grabbed him and motioned him not to go out in the room.

Xu Fu was not there, but Ding Man still listened to Shen Yi. He was timid, so after hesitating for a while, he still stayed in the room and did not go out.

Shen Yi took several deep breaths, calmed down, tried to calm himself down, and then walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

Until now, he still wasn't sure what the inner guard wanted to do with Xu Fu.

To be honest, if it was because of Xu Fu's background, Shen Yi is currently incapable and not qualified to intervene.

The courtyard is not big, and it didn't take long for Shen Yi to walk to the entrance of the courtyard. He first looked out through the crack of the door, and after seeing Xu Fu standing outside the door, he was slightly relieved.

Even though he saw the two figures behind Xu Fu, Shen Yi opened the courtyard door without much hesitation.

After opening the gate of the courtyard, Shen Yi looked at Xu Fu who was a little nervous, and then at the two men behind Xu Fu. He boldly stepped forward and bowed his hands to these two men: "It's the inner guard. Brother?"

The two inner guards looked at each other, then smiled and said, "It's rare that they recognize us."

One of the men stepped forward to look at Shen Yi, and said indifferently: "This son, this little brother Xu, has been involved in a matter. We need to ask him for questioning, but he won't say anything if he doesn't see you. So we brought him back to meet you."

"I hope you can make it clear to him and let him cooperate with us, otherwise we will suffer a lot."

Shen Yi nodded slowly, and asked, "Dare to ask Brother Cha, what's the matter?"

"It's a poem."

The inner guard didn't shy away, and said directly: "Brother Xu read a poem on the Qinhuai River Bridge, was heard by Du Juren, and read it at the Shangyuan Poetry Conference. By now, it has spread all over the capital. It even reached His Majesty's ears and reached Tianting, His Majesty ordered us to find out the truth of this matter and find out who wrote this poem."

Neiwei paused for a moment, then looked at Xu Fu: "I checked and checked, and I found Brother Xu."

Hearing this, Shen Yi finally understood the cause and effect of the matter.

He glanced at Xu Fu and heaved a long sigh of relief.

According to his original estimate, the worst case scenario for this matter is that Xu Fu has a problem with his background, or he is a fugitive, or a descendant of some rebel, or a descendant of the Northern Qi Dynasty. If this is the case, Shen Yi will not only If you can't save him, you may be implicated in it, ruining the future of the scientific research.

Since it is about the poem, it is not a big deal.

Shen Yi was silent for a moment, cupped his hands towards the two inner guards, and said: "You two big brothers, Xu Fu is my schoolboy, I want to ask him what's going on, so I can give you an answer."

"Bringing him back is for this."

The two inner guards said indifferently: "He said he would come back and talk to Mr. Shen, we will wait for you at the door for a stick of incense."

After all, the man sent Xu Fu forward, and Shen Yi stretched out his hand to help Xu Fu into the yard. After Xu Fu went in, Shen Yi turned his head and returned to the two inner guards, and took out two bags from his sleeves. A small gold nugget was handed in front of the two inner guards, and he lowered his head slightly and said, "You two brothers have worked hard, I invite you to drink tea."

The two inner guards looked at the small piece of gold.

Although this piece of gold is not big, if it is exchanged into silver, it should be able to be exchanged for about five taels of silver, which is not too big or small.

One of the inner guards smiled and said, "Young Master, who do you think I am? We are the Son of Heaven's pro-army, how can we accept bribes?"

"It's not a bribe."

Shen Yi smiled, and said: "If it's a bribe, it's not like this. The two poor brothers are waiting at the door to work hard, just to give you money for tea."

After the two inner guards hesitated for a while, they still reached out to take it, nodded slightly and said: "So, my brother thank you very much, young master."

Although the inner guard is the Emperor's pro-army, and the treatment is good, but after all, it is not a regular yamen, and there are not many cases in contact with it on weekdays, so there are not many opportunities to make money.

Therefore, this tea money is considered a little extra money for them, and Shen Yi said that this is not a bribe, which means that there is no responsibility for this kind of money, and most people will not refuse this kind of money.

After the money was sent out, Shen Yi returned to the courtyard. He pulled Xu Fu's sleeve, went into the room and sat down. After pouring Xu Fu a cup of tea, Shen Yi sat opposite Xu Fu and vomited out gas.

"Details."

He looked at Xu Fu and said slowly, "Tell me everything you know."

Xu Fu knew that the matter was serious, so he didn't dare to be negligent, so he immediately said everything he knew, then he looked at Shen Yi, and said in a low voice: "My lord, if this matter violates any law, then I will bear it , no matter what punishment, I can bear it, I came back to see you, I just want to ask you one thing..."

Xu Fu whispered: "If something happens to me, please take care of the five of them..."

"Are you going to the top?"

Shen Yi stood up, looked at Xu Fu, with a blank expression on his face: "Why are you against it? According to what you said just now, that Du Juren just told a lie, and the inner guards can see it immediately. If you lie, they will tell you a lie." Can't you see it?"

"Besides, you don't have much literacy. If you ask you a few words, you will reveal your true colors. If you annoy the inner guard, you and I will have no way to end it!"

Xu Fu lowered his head and gritted his teeth secretly: "My lord, I'm to blame for this matter. If I hadn't been so cheap, I wouldn't have caused such a thing..."

Shen Yi sat on a chair, bowed his head in thought.

He went through the matter back and forth, then shook his head slightly and said, "It's not necessarily a disaster. If the court is annoyed by this poem, then the first person to arrest is Du Juren who spread the word at the Shangyuan Poetry Conference." , instead of looking for some author..."

Thinking of this, Shen Yi got up, patted Xu Fu on the shoulder, and said, "You and Xiao Man stay here at ease, I'll go out and talk to the inner guard."

After saying this, Shen Yi walked towards the courtyard door. After pushing the courtyard door open, the two inner guards did not guard the door. Shen Yi looked around and found that the two were in a small stall not far away. sat down.

Shen Qilang stepped forward, cupped his hands at the two people and said: "You two brothers, that poem was written by Shen in his spare time, it was accidentally listened to by the book boy, and then passed on by Du Juren, if there is something For the guilt, Shen will do it with all his strength."

The two inner guards didn't seem surprised by the answer. One of the men stood up, looked at Shen Yi, and said with a smile, "Mr. Shen, do you have proof?"

"Although my schoolchildren can read, they don't know much, and I..."

Shen Yi said slowly: "I am a student from Jiangdu who came to Jiankang to take an exam."

"And that poem is not complete, there are half a sentence..."
