Chapter 216

Who knows who kicked open the door of the hall and rushed in like searching for relatives, Shen Jiangdong was startled, and just about to stop drinking, he saw the leading general followed into the hall.

Because everyone stood up except Siqing, and Siqing happened to be blocked by Fu Linchuan, so when the general entered the door, he saw Wu Zhenying and Fu Linchuan sitting by the door first.He had obviously seen Wu Zhenying and was in a daze when Shen Jiangdong shouted: "Tang Peng! You're out of your mind!"

Tang Peng of Yulinwei was even more startled when he saw Shen Jiangdong was there. Lin Zhizhong and his wife thought that Tang Peng was here to arrest Gu Heng, and they were completely terrified for a moment.At this time, Siqing didn't stand up, but turned her head slightly, her tone was flat and emotionless, "Tang Peng, what are you doing here? Are you raiding your house? Are you arresting me?"

This sound frightened Tang Peng out of his wits, and he quickly bowed and kowtowed.

Shen Jiangdong ordered all the imperial troops who came in with Tang Peng to go out, and the hall door was closed again.Siqing finally stood up slowly, but she seemed to be a different person. She was no longer the unusually calm and good-tempered Siqing just now.Although her clothes have not changed, it seems that she has changed her body invisibly.She took two steps, still speaking in a soft voice, but each word seemed to be worth a lot of gold, "Why didn't you answer my words? What are you doing here? Are you arresting me?"

Shen Jiangdong was agitated, wanting to say something, Tang Peng kowtowed and said in a low voice: "It's the fabric stolen from Jinkou, a letter from Yuhang, Nancheng Bingmasi asked Habayashi Wei to investigate..."

Shen Jiangdong's expression became even uglier. He looked at Fu Linchuan who was beside Siqing as if asking for help. Fu Linchuan didn't understand, but the next second Siqing pulled out a dagger from his sleeve. Everyone was shocked, and Fu Linchuan hurriedly stopped him.Who knew that Siqing didn't stab anything with the sword, but instead threw the dagger in front of Tang Peng.

Tang Peng held the dagger in both hands, bowed again, and was about to kill himself when he turned back.Now that Fu Linchuan didn't stop, Siqing said first, "Who made you die here?"

Tang Peng's hand trembled, and Si Qing shouted, "Get out!"

Tang Peng disappeared with the sword in both hands, while Siqing remained motionless.No one dared to speak, Siqing turned her head and smiled, the coercive power on her body disappeared in an instant, and she became that good-tempered Siqing again, "I...I'll go out and have a look." Home, I look very embarrassed.

Only Shen Jiangdong's complexion did not change, he was still very nervous, and after Siqing left, he asked Fu Linchuan for help, "Mr. Fu!" It seemed that "Mr. Fu, help me" was about to blurt out the next moment.

Fu Linchuan understood and went out with Siqing.

Shen Jiangdong finally breathed a sigh of relief, at this time there was another noise from behind, Shen Jiangdong was afraid that someone would come in from behind again, so he said: "I'll go to the back to have a look." Pulled out.Lin Zhizhong and his wife, who were looking at each other in blank dismay, and Wu Zhenying, who was expressionless, were left behind.

Fu Linchuan went out with Siqing, only to see that the other forbidden soldiers disappeared in the Kungfu Academy for a while, only Tang Peng kneeling in the distance and Siqing standing in front of Tang Peng were left.Siqing's dagger had already returned to Siqing's hand, and she held the dagger behind her back. Seeing this, Fu Linchuan stood under the eaves and did not approach.

Siqing said slowly: "The weaving bureau is very powerful. It is far away in Yuhang, and you can command the imperial army with a note. Who asked you to come? Did you tell His Majesty about the big commotion caused by asking you to assist in the investigation? What a coincidence, I'm here today, what do you want to do?"

Tang Peng kowtowed repeatedly because it was not in compliance with the rules, and Siqing said again: "You will listen to him if he makes a note. If he asks you to rebel against him, will you listen or not?"

It was already very cold when the wind blew in the autumn night. Standing under the eaves, Fu Linchuan saw that Siqing was no longer so excited when she was talking, so he quietly walked behind Siqing and took the sword in her hand.Siqing was about to get angry, but when she turned her head and saw Fu Linchuan, there was nowhere to get angry.Fu Linchuan smiled, and slowly returned to the house with the sword in hand.As soon as he entered the hall, everyone looked at him, Madam Lin asked, "Are you all right?"

Fu Linchuan smiled, and Wu Zhenying answered on his behalf: "It's like a firecracker, it will be fired at one o'clock, just let it go."

At this time, Shen Jiangdong also came back, and he was relieved to see this, only to hear the door slam, and it turned out that it was Siqing who came in.Siqing closed the door, put her back against the door, and sighed with a smile: "The soldiers and horses of the five cities are in charge of food and clothing, how many people have been mobilized? Those who don't know think it's turned upside down at night."

Shen Jiangdong said: "The back street is full of people from Nancheng Bingmasi, the whole area, the commotion is so loud, doesn't His Highness know?"

"Don't call me Your Highness," Siqing said coldly, "Guochao has never had such a useless Highness like me. If I knew, would I let them rush in?" When she spoke to Shen Jiangdong, she was less serious and more serious. As a joke, the atmosphere is not as awkward as before.

Shen Jiangdong said: "Then let them evacuate." After speaking, he turned around and walked out.

"Come back," Siqing said, "let them make a fuss, otherwise it will stop in the middle of the fuss, so what can I say. But Jing Wei, don't get involved."

Shen Jiangdong insisted: "I'll go and see again."

"It's useless for you to go," Siqing said again, "Go to Li Yuanzhen. Nancheng Bing Ma Si... Is Xiao Jiu under the command of the deputy capital?"

Shen Jiangdong shook his head to express that he didn't know.

The candles in the room flicked and flickered, and for some reason, it made people feel that there was an undercurrent surging.What Shen Jiangdong insisted on doing, Siqing seemed a little disdainful, she said: "Yuan Xigong, the last one who rushed in with a group of people to search in front of me, do you remember who it is?"

Shen Jiangdong shook his head again, and looked at Siqing on the other side of the lamp with doubts.Si Qing was silent for a moment, then said coldly: "It's Meng Guangshi." When Shen Jiangdong heard her mention Meng Guang again tonight, he felt restless and reminded: "Your Highness!"

Siqing smiled, "So afraid to mention him? This person has been dead for a long time."

Even though Shen Jiangdong had a lot to say, he couldn't say it in front of so many outsiders.Meng Guangshi's death was certainly a joke, but he didn't understand what kind of joke Siqing was sneering at when he saw the rain was coming.

No one spoke in the room, both of them were at the height of the temple, either nobles who were out of reach, or gods worshiped by people, facing each other faintly in this small room that couldn't hold such a grandeur.The dissatisfaction of the nobles and the ridicule of the gods were suddenly clearly displayed in front of everyone.

Siqing asked Yunchu to bring a small box, and said to Wu Zhenying, "Uncle, you still suspect that brother's accident is related to Xu Wenchang, right?"

Wu Zhenying said: "That's right, no matter what, he has ghosts in his heart."

"What does he want?" Si Qing said, "If he wants money, it's easy." She put the box in front of Wu Zhenying, "You gave it to me, please do me a favor, if he wants money, get it first Money held him steady."

Shen Jiangdong breathed a sigh of relief, but Si Qing was quite dissatisfied with his reaction.

Shen Jiangdong said: "It's strange that he asks for money now. Isn't he able to settle tens of thousands of accounts with his backhand?"

Si Qing said: "If he didn't have this ability, would he still be alive today?"

Shen Jiangdong said again: "His ability is not used to the right place."

"The internal treasury doesn't have tens of thousands of bills for him to settle, and the fourth department and six bureaus don't have tens of thousands of bills to bother him," Siqing said, "It doesn't matter whether he has the ability or not. Come back, if Yao Yuantu and Yao Fuyuan had such abilities, they wouldn’t be able to play such tricks, would they?”

Si Qing picked up the manuscript and shook it, Shen Jiangdong tried to resolve the untimely tension with silence, but after a while, Si Qing resumed her cynical expression, "Go find Li Yuanzhen."

The Bingma Division was under the control of the Ministry of War, and Li Yuanzhen was still in charge of the military.

Shen Jiangdong then stopped talking, bowed to Siqing, and bid farewell to Wu, Fu and Lin Zhizhong.When he walked past Fu Linchuan, he deliberately signaled to Fu Linchuan again, but Fu Linchuan was a little puzzled, so Shen Jiangdong went out.

Wu Zhenying said to Si Qing: "I don't ask why you did this, but I think he, Xu Wenchang, would not dare to come to me, after all, his life is worth more than mine."

The cold wind blew open the long window, seeing that it was going to rain again, Si Qing went to see her brother Gu Heng again, and then she wanted to leave.Yan Mowei heard all the movement in the room just now, and looked at her worriedly, she smiled at Yan Mowei and shook her head slightly.For some unknown reason, she took two steps and turned back to Fu Linchuan and said, "Uncle, you have seen my daughter-in-law, she has acne, she can't get it out, she has intermittent fever, I'm really afraid it will burn out, please come here Just look at her."

Fu Linchuan was startled, and said, "I'm going?" It was getting late, and he felt that it was still inconvenient to go to Siqing's place.

Siqing nodded, "Why don't you go out of Beijing with brother, where can I find you?"

Fu Linchuan couldn't find a reason to shirk, so he had to agree.Because of the chaos outside, only Fu Linchuan and Siqing were sent out, and Siqing told Mrs. Lin a few words to bid farewell to Yan Mowei alone, and Fang took Fu Linchuan back to Qingxi Garden.I didn't know how to choose the road along the way, but I didn't meet any interrogators. Fu Linchuan still had doubts, "I'll go..."

"Uncle, don't worry," Si Qing said, "I'm not going to Da Nei, it's fine."

For a while, the car quietly entered Qingxi Garden, Siqing smiled and said: "I like living in Nannei, just for the convenience of going in and out." I don't know how far I walked, but there is a hanging flower gate, Lingzhen has been waiting by the side , It's not surprising to see Fu Linchuan, only to hear Siqing say: "How is your baby? Are you awake?"

Ling Zhen said: "I have been sleeping all this time, I haven't eaten dinner."

As he spoke, he led Siqing and Fu Linchuan through the long corridor and walked to a living room.It turned out that Qingxi Garden was built next to the lake, and Siqing purposely placed the eldest princess in a place facing away from the lake.Fu Linchuan entered the inner room, saw the Empress Pox was enshrined, stepped forward and opened the gauze curtain, the eldest princess fell into a deep sleep.Fu Linchuan took a look at the candle, felt the pulse, came out with Siqing and said: "The medicine used is too restrained."

Just as Siqing was about to say something, Lingzhen came over and whispered, Fu Linchuan said: "Go ahead, I'll take a look at the child."

Siqing nodded, leaving Lingzhen behind, and Tong Yunchu left first.

Siqing and Yunchu went west all the way to Liuyun Hall on the middle road, and the rain became more and more dense.But seeing Tang Peng kneeling in the atrium, Siqing was still angry, so she ignored him and walked straight into the Liuyun Hall to sit down, and then let him in to answer.

Tang Peng entered the hall to salute, Siqing stared silently.As the attendant of one of Tong Siqing's first visits to Wu Zhai, he was deeply trusted.Behind the seemingly straightforward, lies the flames of the Dingfan family dispute.He was once abandoned by Dingfan, and he turned against Ge to persuade Siqing to leave the moment before the palace change, but he had no edict to tamper with Jingwei when he should not have appeared at the last time.Siqing finally said: "Tang Peng, I really can't see through you, and I really don't trust you."

Tang Peng said: "I'm guilty of death."

Siqing opened the incense burner slowly, then closed it slowly, and said indifferently: "I don't care about the past, I said at this time last year, since you came out to plot against them, I will protect your life last year. I did what I said, I didn't kill you last year, and I didn't even pursue you, you are still the commander of the Habayashi guard, I think you are fine, and Dingfan will not touch your mother easily, am I right?"

Tang Peng didn't dare to answer, he could only kowtow.Siqing went on to say: "You should know that the matter of last year has been brought up again recently, and even the Ruyuan County King has been implicated. If you are aware of the matter, you should be smarter and stay away. There is no edict at this time. Mobilizing the Forbidden Army, what on earth do you want to do? Just because the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses ask for your help?"

Tang Peng said: "It's true that I didn't think carefully..."

"What a lack of thoughtfulness," Si Qing sighed, "But it can't erase all doubts, there are too many strange things about you, isn't it?"

Tang Peng kowtowed and said, "It's true that I didn't think carefully this time, I don't know..."

"You don't know I'm here," Siqing said, "In other words, you think you broke my privacy, so I want to make things difficult for you, don't you?"

"I dare not!"

"Then I'll give you one last chance." Si Qing stared at Tang Peng and said, "For the last chance, tell me, what else do you have to hide from me and His Majesty."

Tang Peng said: "I have nothing to dare to lie to Her Majesty the Queen."

Siqing shook her head, "I'm not convinced by your words, you should think about it carefully, and think about whether there is anything else you want to say."

Tang Peng shook his head blindly, Siqing sighed, nodded and said, "There's nothing to say, right?"

Tang Peng was trembling, but at this moment he felt like a sharp knife hanging above his head, and then the voice came word by word from a very far away place, "Come here."

A servant responded and entered the hall to salute, Siqing said: "Take it down, let's die with a stick."

Siqing spoke as if he was feeling infinitely melancholy, and Yun Chu on the side knelt down in fright, waiting to say something, but because he was timid, he had to watch Tang Peng kowtow to the back of the screen several times as a salute, and then was dragged away by the attendants down.

Si Qing recalled taking him out of the city to meet Han Shoushen, recalling the first time he was sacrificed by Dingfan, and remembering last year when he betrayed the police with a kick at the door, she sighed, but she didn't say anything after all.

Fu Linchuan wrote the prescription, and Lingzhen led him to Liuyun Palace to find Siqing.There were not many attendants in Qingxi Garden, Xiao Yi hadn't come yet today, and the silence was a bit scary, and no one was seen along the way.Because it was raining, I passed by the veranda, only to see Yunchu running over panting, saying something to Lingzhen.Ling Zhen turned pale, "I'm about to take Mr. Fu there, you should go back first."
