Ling Zhen nodded, but Si Qing said again: "But I changed my mind, I won't kill him, I will use his life."

Ling Zhen didn't respond, Si Qing said casually, "Return that "Shuiyong Tang Poetry Notes" quietly, don't forget."

There was no contact between Jiaguo Mansion and the Xu family before, that is to say, Jiang Feng came here a few times after the Xu Lin family got married.It was the first time for Shen Jiangdong to come to Xu Mansion alone to see Xu Wenchang. Xu Wenchang was inexplicably terrified. After serving the tea, Shen Jiangdong smiled and said: "Xu Shangshu, my wife is in love with the honored lady, please let me greet the honored lady."

Xu Wenchang thanked him, and Shen Jiangdong said again: "Xu Shangshu, there is a Mr. Gu in the Renji Hall in the south of the city. He treated me before. Xu Shangshu should recognize him, right?"

Xu Wenchang's face changed when he heard this, Shen Jiangdong knew the situation, and said with a serious face: "My family Taishan looked for him everywhere, but he disappeared. He came in and arrested many people for the old case of King Kang's mansion. It's a cold day, five It is not surprising that there are people dying of illness in the city soldiers and horses, prisons of the Ministry of punishment, and places where people are locked up. It is not surprising that they happen every year. The strange thing is that this Mr. Gu is not self-sufficient in medicine, and he also died of illness. Xu Shangshu, he Someone who saw you before you got caught, didn't you?"

Xu Wenchang's eyes were tearing, "Gu Heng is dead?!"

Shen Jiangdong nodded with a gloomy face, "So Xu Shangshu, do you recognize his wife? You have to report a funeral."

Xu Wenchang shook his head hastily, and said again: "His wife is said to be..." Xu Wenchang swallowed the word concubine, "I heard that he is not married to the Ming Dynasty, and they may have broken up."

Shen Jiangdong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Then trouble Xu Shangshu to follow me to a place."

Shen Jiangdong half coerced Xu Wenchang to follow him out of the city and walked a long way to a dilapidated wild temple.Walking into the backyard, there are paper money scattered on the ground. It can be seen that the coffins of foreign merchants are placed here.The crows on the top of the head kept screaming, Xu Wenchang was frightened half to death, and was led by Shen Jiangdong to the deepest point.The monk sweeping the floor was dressed in shabby clothes and performed the Jishou ceremony. Xu Wenchang jumped away again in surprise.Shen Jiangdong pointed into a room, and Xu Wenchang saw a pitch-black coffin, and Shen Jiangdong pushed it in as if his legs could not move.

Xu Wenchang turned his head to look in, and saw that the coffin was not closed, and the nails were scattered all over the floor, exposing Gu Heng's upper body.He was wearing a brand new robe, and it seemed that someone had just changed it for him, but he was very shriveled, and his face was a frightening purple.Xu Wenchang closed his eyes and stretched out a finger sideways into the coffin to see if he was still breathing.Xu Wenchang immediately smelled a rotten smell, and saw that the coffin seemed to have grown legs and leaned towards him, so he screamed strangely and fled back to the courtyard.

The crow was still circling, and Shen Jiangdong said: "It's been a while since I died, it looks like I took poison. Xu Shangshu, you can see clearly, I didn't lie to you, is it dead?"

Xu Wenchang said: "Mr. Jiajiajia...I'm an old acquaintance with him. I really don't know how he died! That old Mr. Wu came to ask me. I really don't know. Do you want to know?" Don't ask his cousin?"

"Who is his cousin?"

"Zuo Chunfang, Xie Yan."

"Why is my cousin named Xie?"

"He takes his mother's surname, and his family's surname is Xie."

Shen Jiangdong said: "You know quite clearly."

"No no no no no..."

"He treated me and saved me, so he was kind to me," Shen Jiangdong said, "I don't know why he was arrested, and I don't know why he died of poison." After speaking, he sighed.

Xu Wenchang said: "I do recognize him, but I haven't seen him for a long time."

Shen Jiangdong asked: "Before he returned to Beijing, didn't he see your servant?"

Xu Wenchang categorically denied it, and Shen Jiangdong approached and said, "I know about his family's affairs. You have to make it clear that his family's affairs are implicated in the old case of the Yasukuni Mansion. Although the Yasukuni Mansion has dissipated, my Jiaguo Mansion is still there. Xu Shang Shu, do you understand what I said?"

When Xu Wenchang saw that the death light was off, he had nothing to do and nothing to say, so he said: "I don't understand what Duke Jia said, but Duke Jia, his death has nothing to do with me, I really don't care. knew he was dead."

Shen Jiangdong nodded, "Then Xu Shangshu, please tell his cousin that if the Xie family doesn't care, I will bury it."

Xu Wenchang agreed in his mouth, thinking in his heart that he would not pass on the word. He was a little sad and shed a few tears, and Shen Jiangdong became impatient, "That's it, it's not that important. The smell is not good here, Xu Shang Shu, let's go back to the city."

Regardless of whether Gu Heng committed suicide because Xu Wenchang had tampered with it, but making Xu Wenchang think that Gu Heng had died, after all, there was a major hidden danger missing.But when Shen Jiangdong saw that Xu Wenchang didn't seem to know about Yan Mowei, he was relieved and worried at the same time, worried that everyone's speculation was in the wrong direction, and Gu Heng's suicide had nothing to do with Xu Wenchang.After a lot of tossing like this, Gu Heng became delirium again, and he really didn't dare to move and toss him anymore, so the plan to send him out of Beijing was once again shelved.Lin Zhizhong and his wife originally planned to go to the Xu family to make trouble after Gu Heng left Beijing safely, in case the Xu family found Gu Heng.Now Xu Wenchang thought that Gu Heng was dead, and the files on the Jinwu Guard were also destroyed by Siqing, so everyone moved Gu Heng to Wu Zhenying's mansion in the south of the city, Lin Zhizhong and his wife also moved out from Xie's house, rented another house, and pretended to turn around Beishang just returned to Beijing, intending to go to Xu's house to make a scene, and ask his sister to leave Xu's house as soon as possible.

---

King Kang raised private soldiers, stationed them outside, and set up bombing sites in the East Palace. Taking advantage of today's Yining palace, which is more ill than Beijing, he conspired to rebel. After being re-liquidated.Not only was Xiao Shao, the second son of King Kang, stripped of his title of county king, but hundreds of clan courtiers involved in King Kang's mansion were also dealt with.King Zuo Zongzhengduan did not speak from the beginning to the end, and things went very smoothly.

For the Lin family, the only thing that didn't go well was that Lin Bofu didn't get along with each other when he died, and he died in the Xu family even when he opened his mouth and kept his mouth shut.Qiu Ye even came up with some tricks to drug Lin Bofu to stun her and trick her out. Who knew that Lin Bofu exposed her, forced her to die, and even wrote a document to sever ties with the Lin family.Xu Wenchang has been terrified since Gu Heng "died", and he doesn't welcome Lin Zhizhong and his wife to come back to Xu's house again. The two families almost turned against each other.

As soon as the weather turned cold, Shen Jiangdong's old injuries recurred, and he seldom went out at ordinary times.One day Xiao Jing's companion Xia suddenly came to see Xia Ying in Duke Jia's mansion, acting a little sneaky.After Banxia left, Xiaying wrote to Jiang Feng as she said, but still felt uneasy in her heart, so she went to the outer study to see Shen Jiangdong.

After Xiaying said this again, Shen Jiangdong only felt a headache, and asked: "When did King Xiao Jing meet Miss Lin..."

Xia Ying said: "Just before Madam was about to leave Beijing, I invited Miss Lin to our mansion. It happened that you were not at home, and King Xiao Jing bumped into Madam and Miss Lin. What's more, King Xiao Jing even mistook Miss Lin earlier. , as the in-law's Miss Lanzhi—now it's Miss Li."

Shen Jiangdong asked: "So?"

Xia Ying said: "Prince Xiao Jing probably felt that there was something wrong with Xu's family. He didn't dare to say it himself, but instead entrusted his wife to speak for him in front of the Empress. But how could he agree to this? The Empress would naturally not agree to such absurd things. "

Shen Jiangdong didn't expect this romantic little prince to fall in love with his wife, so he asked, "Why don't you go to Qingxi Garden?"

Xia Ying said worriedly: "This servant also thinks so."

As the maid of Shen Huanhua and Siqing, Xiaying is now often able to go in and out of the forbidden area, delivering messages for Siqing and Jiang Feng, and even Siqing and Wu Zhenying.When she came to Qingxi Garden that day, Siqing was looking at the accounts of the internal treasury. She thought she was sending a letter for Jiang Feng, so she asked as usual: "Your wife has a letter again?"

Xia Ying sighed, "Miss guessed it wrong, it wasn't Madam who had a letter, but I had a letter to Madam. This matter is really... so this slave must tell the girl after thinking about it."

Siqing asked, "What's wrong?"

Xia Ying said: "Young lady, don't be angry when you hear this... King Xiao Jing once came to the mansion, and that day Madam invited Miss Lin to dinner, and bumped into her. I don't know where King Xiao Jing heard the news in the past few days Saying that Xu Shangshu is going to be bad, and thinking that Miss Lin has only been in the family for half a year, then naturally she can't follow Xu Shangshu and lose everything, so..."

Siqing still didn't get over it, "So... what?"

"That's why King Xiao Jing said that if Miss Lin reconciles, he wants to ask our wife to make peace and marry Miss Lin..."

Siqing put the pen down, "He is so capable, why didn't he come to tell me, and he turned a corner and asked sister to come and tell me? What's the matter, if he meant it, blame sister, who told sister to let them Let's meet, right?"

Xia Ying said: "That's exactly what I was talking about. This servant thought something was wrong, so I came to report to the girl."

Siqing immediately said to Yunchu: "Bring me Lao Jiu." Then she said to Xiaying, "You go back first, tell sister, I know everything."

King Xiao Jing followed Yun Chu into Qingxi Garden, and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty is here today?"

Yun Chu said: "Your Majesty has always been in the Maode Palace."

King Xiao Jing heaved a sigh of relief, and followed Yun Chu into Liuyun Hall to salute, Si Qing said coldly: "I don't see you very often, what are you busy with?"

Xiao Jing Wang accompanied him with a smile and said, "Because my mother is ill, I dare not disturb you."

Si Qing deliberately asked: "You don't have anything to say to me? If you have something to say, hurry up and say it while His Majesty is not here today. After today, I won't care about it."

King Xiao Jing knew the situation when he heard this, and said with a playful smile: "You can't hide anything from your empress..."

Si Qing said: "There's no need to hide it. If you don't tell me, I'll marry you tomorrow. I don't think it's humiliating you for the cousin of Princess Changqing to be your concubine."

King Xiao Jing hurriedly bowed down and said: "My brother would like to have a confidant, and I ask His Highness to help you."

Siqing said: "Do you think Wang Yuanze came out of this dynasty?"
King Xiao Jing carefully said: "You already know..."

Siqing said: "You look at a married woman and want to marry her. Are you embarrassing the princess before your future princess has passed the marriage?"

King Xiao Jing hurriedly said: "My brother wants to have someone with one heart, so I want to marry him as my concubine."

Si Qing shattered the teacup, "If you have the ability, go directly to the Concubine Gui and Your Majesty."

King Xiaojing repeatedly kowtowed and said, "My brother is Ning hitting the golden bell! Third sister-in-law, that Xu Shangshu really humiliated her!"

Si Qing realized what was going on, and deliberately asked, "You won't promise anything to Mrs. Xu's family?"

King Xiaojing said again and again: "I know the etiquette, but I don't dare to..."

"You don't know the rules of etiquette, you clearly want to bully others!" Siqing said, "If her family rejects you, it will be difficult for you. If I nod, you move me out to bully the younger, and measure him up." Xiaomin, don't dare to disobey, do you, Lao Jiu?"

Si Qing said: "Old Nine, think about it, even if I nod, will your uncles agree? I guess they will come to accuse me by then! You can't remember anything good, but remember me for this kind of incident. You are doing very well."

King Xiaojing said: "Because I know they are devious! But you are not, Your Highness! I beg you, firstly, to mediate this matter for my younger brother, and secondly, don't let the rumors insult Miss Lin's reputation before the matter is completed. Your great kindness Great virtue, my younger brother must report..."

At this time, Yun Chu reported: "Your Majesty is going to drive to Qingxi Garden."

King Xiao Jing's face suddenly changed color, and Si Qing asked, "Are you aware that you are afraid?"

King Xiaojing kowtowed again and said, "His Royal Highness...my brother feels unwell today, so let's go first..."

Siqing said: "If you want to leave, hurry up, it will be too late."

King Xiaojing said: "Your Highness will keep this matter in mind anyway. My brother sees that Mrs. Shen is on good terms with her. When Mrs. Shen returns to Beijing, my brother asks Mrs. Shen to tell her slowly, keep it..."

"Hurry up and go," Siqing said, "Why, you don't want to go? Then you stay and tell His Majesty yourself."

King Xiao Jing was so frightened that he disappeared in a flash.

After all, Siqing didn't tell Xiao Yi about the matter, but only told Lingzhen in private.

Ling Zhen said: "Miss, I see that Miss Lin and the Xu family must reconcile. But the marriage will not work out, and Miss Lin will not marry King Jing. First, the kings will definitely not allow it, and the girl cannot be a villain. Two It's not because of family status, the uncle and his wife's family status are also far apart, so it's no big deal. It's just that Miss Lin is not as capable as her uncle and wife, and King Xiao Jing is a favorite. Miss Lin was in the Xu family Even if this is the case, wouldn't it be more important to marry into Prince Jing's mansion... Little King Jing made a big fuss, and after looking back for two days, he threw it behind his head."

Siqing said: "You're right, let's procrastinate. The old nine used to look at Ye Lanrui from the fourth room, but when I think of it, it comes out. After a few days, I like the new one and forget the old one. gone."

With this episode in this room, the Lin family didn't know anything about it.Lin Bofu refused to reconcile, and looked for life and death, and his affection was so deep that Lin Zhizhong and his wife were so angry that their heads were smoking.But he couldn't rush into the Shangshu's mansion and rob his wife, so he had to drag it day after day.

It was a great victory in Fangcheng, breaking the rebel army's barrier in eastern Guangdong, and the news spread back to the imperial capital, which was beaming with joy.However, on the second day, the big case of King Kang’s Mansion was suddenly settled on Xu Wenchang’s head—Xu Wenchang’s middleman who sold contraband had once supported private soldiers and paid for the Kang Wang Mansion. .

Before Jiang Feng left the capital, Xu's mansion was seized by the criminal department in a lightning-fast manner.
