Yanlouchun

Chapter 11

The candles in the imperial prison were dimly lit, and the damp and cold atmosphere made people feel that the air was stagnant.

Shen Zhiyun leaned against the stone wall, and could feel the cold temperature spreading to his back through his clothes.

The jailer threw in two sets of prison uniforms for the two to change into.

Shen Zhiyun sat cross-legged, the clothes were placed in front of her, she glanced at them, gray and dirty, she couldn't help frowning.

Gu Hanshu in the opposite prison pinched a corner of his clothes with two fingers, picked it up and shook it in the air twice, the prison clothes and pants were not connected, and the pants were thrown to the ground, kicking up a puff of dust on the ground.

"Shao Xi? Shao Xi!" Gu Hanshu threw the clothes on the ground, stepped back, and waved the dust in the air.

Shao Xi sent these two people to the jail and then went back to the palace, how could anyone care about him.

The jailer didn't dare to stop this old man, he hadn't heard anything about the court affairs yet, and he sent two big figures one day, and he was on duty here, so he didn't know whether he was torturing the two lords or him.

"Shao Xi, are your parents shouting so diligently, it's so noisy." Shen Zhiyun closed his eyes and frowned.

Gu Hanshu walked to the iron railing and leaned against it, "One day in prison, I have to worship Shao Xi like my ancestor."

Shen Zhiyun sneered, "You might as well enshrine me like an ancestor, maybe you can go out earlier."

"What are you going out for? I think this prison is very quiet, much better than outside." Gu Hanshu held on to the iron bars and looked at Shen Zhiyun opposite.

"Now the two factions outside can't tell what the fight will be like." Gu Hanshu said.

"It's not thanks to you." Shen Zhiyun opened his eyes but didn't look at him.

"It's thanks to me, Yang Shilin is greedy for power, and he is in fear all day long, preventing General Xue from returning to Beijing. The cabinet only promoted the mutual market under his instigation." Gu Hanshu looked at Shen Zhiyun while talking, but Shen Zhiyun sat cross-legged. He bowed his head, as if ignoring his words.

"Hey! Shen Zhiyun!" Gu Hanshu knocked on the iron bars to attract Shen Zhiyun's attention.

The knocking sound was particularly clear and crisp in the imperial prison, and it echoed.

"You really call me your ancestor? You call me a soul." Shen Zhiyun turned to look at him.

"I don't believe you can't figure out the pros and cons of trading and sending troops." Gu Hanshu spit out every word clearly.

Shen Zhiyun stood up and walked to the iron fence, "I figured it out. Sending troops wastes people's money and wastes money. The mutual market is the long-term solution."

Gu Hanshu sneered, "Fart. Just pretend here."

Shen Zhiyun watched him stop talking, and said after a while of silence: "Since you said that the current situation is the situation, there are clear advantages and disadvantages between the trade market and sending troops, why is your majesty still hesitating?"

Why do you still listen to Shoufu's words, why indulge Shen Zhiyun for a few days?

Because the emperor, he couldn't figure it out.

Shen Zhiyun didn't say this clearly, but Gu Hanshu understood it.

Your Majesty is indecisive, as long as the court keeps arguing, he will never be able to make a decision.

It's just that it's strange for Shen Zhiyun to say these words, she has always been well behaved.

Gu Hanshu didn't directly answer Shen Zhiyun's question, "It's not that Yang Shilin is secretly disrupting the situation. People in your cabinet were all made by him."

"I was dragged down by you, do you think you were dragged down by me? No, you were dragged into the water by Yang Shilin. I guess, he must think that you are delaying time these days and not being quick enough , I have given you an explicit order, so that you must not take this policy."

Gu Hanshu's guess was accurate. Of course, Shen Zhiyun's aggressiveness was due to the pressure exerted by Yang Shilin from behind.

Shen Zhiyun found him annoying, "You can't live in peace now that you've been locked up here, can you stop talking about this matter, and the commander will come to interrogate you later, I hope you can still be so energetic."

"I'm full of energy? You're the one who has nothing to worry about!" Gu Hanshu recalled the things in his mansion, and spoke with a bit of anger, "You urged Li Zhile to bring a group of actors to my mansion to play, pulling me every day My mother is watching a big show together, and the whole yard will be disturbed by them! You are too busy to turn around in the court these days, and you still have the leisure to destroy the peace of other people's families."

If Gu Hanshu didn't mention it, Shen Zhiyun almost forgot that Li Zhile was so reliable in doing this kind of thing.

The corners of her mouth slightly curled up, "Zhile likes to watch and play all day long, and of course the troupe she found is excellent."

As early as when he was studying, Shen Zhiyun knew that Gu Hanshu was most annoyed by listening to operas. To him, the stories in those opera books were all nonsense, but he still had to beat gongs and drums to sing a soul-stirring song. Every time he heard it, his hairs stood on end and he felt irritable. .

Gu Hanshu sneered, "When Mr. Shen is released from the imperial prison, I will definitely let someone join the theater troupe to beat gongs and drums at the door to wish Mr. Shen a new life."

"Then there will be Master Lao Shi." Shen Zhiyun raised his hand.

Seeing that Shen Zhiyun couldn't be aroused like this, Gu Han said, "I heard that Mrs. Shen has brought back many people from her hometown these days. Mrs. Shen is very lucky, and the garden is full of spring."

Shen Zhiyun bowed his hands again, "Too modest is too modest, I have no blessing to bear it, so there are two people left behind."

Gu Hanshu slightly opened his eyes wide, "Did you keep him?"

Shen Zhiyun is a woman, leaving two women behind, what is this for?Do you still think you have disguised yourself too well?

"Ang, I don't dare to think about the spring scenery in the garden. Could it be that one or two are not enough? Gu Shizi is too wide." Shen Zhiyun turned and walked to the bedding in the prison, knelt down and touched it with his hands, the bedding was damp.

Seeing Shen Zhiyun turn around, Gu Hanshu felt displeased and looked for something to do again. He picked up the prison uniform thrown on the ground with his feet and ordered the jailer, "You, go and find me two more prison uniforms."

The jailer didn't know what crime the two adults had committed. Seeing that the two men were locked up in prison and still thinking about arguing and bickering here, he didn't dare to offend him, so he sent someone to get two prison uniforms and send them over. Not a big deal.

"What are you doing?" Shen Zhiyun walked to the side and asked.

"Experience being isolated from the world." Gu Hanshu looked up and down at Shen Zhiyun who was opposite, and said, "After all, Mr. Shen sees me as a thorn in his side, so it's better to disappear."

Shen Zhiyun didn't know what he was going to do, so he glanced at his prison uniform on the ground, and called to the jailer, "You send him mine too."

Just got rid of the dirty old clothes.

The jailer twitched his mouth and did as he was told.

After a while, two sets of prison uniforms arrived. Gu Hanshu held four sets of prison uniforms in his hand. He tore apart the clothes and turned them into large pieces of cloth and tied them to the iron bars. under.

The four sets of clothes were disassembled and hung up, like four disassembled paper figurines, blocking the outside view by more than half.

The jailer was stunned by this operation, how could he monitor the prisoners, but Gu Shizi was in prison, judging by his posture, he was just like a guest, without even the slightest fear, and he didn't dare to stop him.

Shen Zhiyun looked at the opposite side, the corners of his eyes twitched, "You are hanging four pieces of white cloth as a banner for calling back souls."

Each location has its own eye-catching bag.

Gu Hanshu hid behind the curtain, "Master Shen is very strict."

Shen Zhiyun took a deep breath, rolled up his damp quilt, threw it out from the two railings, and called the jailer, "Go to Shen's mansion and find someone to give me a clean quilt."

The jailer twitched his mouth and remained unmoved. The jailer's life is his life.

Shen Zhiyun took out a few coins from the inner pocket of his clothes, threw them into the jailer's arms, and threatened, "If I don't sleep well tonight, you should be careful when I get out of prison."

The jailer caught the silver in a panic.

okay.

"My lord, please wait a moment."

The jailer arranged for someone to go to Shen's house to find someone, and that person took Shen Zhiyun away and threw out the quilt. As soon as he went out, he ran into the second son of the Ruan family, Ruan Xinchuan.

Ruan Xinchuan works in the Imperial City Division and belongs to Shao Xi's direct subordinate. Because he is the son of Lord Ruan and is young, he can also learn skills from Shao Xi in the Imperial City Division.

Not to mention that it is impossible for Shao Xi to allow the children of the aristocratic family to really participate in his own place, it is absolutely impossible for the emperor to allow the aristocratic family to have any rights in the Imperial City Division.

Therefore, the inspector of the imperial city is a real idle job. After a few years, when Ruan Xinchuan grows up and becomes more sensible, he will be transferred away.

"Yo!" Ruan Xinchuan came swaggeringly, his eyes wide open, his face full of novelty.

"What is this for, building a coffin?" Ruan Xinchuan lifted Gu Hanshu's masterpiece and looked inside curiously.

The light was dim, and Gu Hanshu could only be seen resting against the wall.

"Ah!" Ruan Xinchuan pretended to be surprised
"Isn't this our eldest son?"

Ruan Xinchuan turned around and saw Shen Zhiyun sitting in the opposite cell, he was surprised again.

"Ah!" Ruan Xinchuan covered his mouth.

"Isn't this our Shen Cisuke?"

Ruan Xinchuan said what he said knowingly, but he was bluffing.

Gu Hanshu raised his eyelids, "Ruan Er, if you continue to make noise, I will ask your father to lock you up in the yard."

If it was normal, Ruan Xinchuan would have shut up, after all, he couldn't suffer a second time if he suffered a loss.

But now that Gu Han is locked up in the imperial prison, Ruan Xinchuan gloated and was surprised again.

"Ah!" Ruan Xinchuan stomped his feet.

"I'm so scared!"

Ruan Xinchuan leaned on the wall and laughed.

The jailer stood beside him tremblingly, not daring to make a sound so as not to cause trouble to his upper body.

Shen Zhiyun took out a piece of silver from his clothes, flexed and stretched his fingers, rubbed the silver against the iron bars and threw it, there was a mark on Ruan Xinchuan's face, it landed on the ground with a bang and rolled twice.

Ruan Xinchuan covered his face and cried out in pain, "Who? Who is it?"

Seeing the fallen pieces of silver, Ruan Xinchuan went to pick it up, furious, he didn't know whether it was Gu Hanshu's or Shen Zhiyun's tricks, so he could only be helpless and furious, "I'm all locked up in the imperial prison, I'm still restless, I really think I'm How many good days are left to live! You two wait, and when Commander returns, I will ask Commander Shao to torture you two severely!"

Gu Hanshu smiled lowly.

Ruan Xinchuan yelled, "What are you laughing at? Could it be that you plotted against me!"

Gu Hanshu ignored him, and said to Shen Zhiyun who was facing him, "Do you remember that black dog tied in the backyard in the academy?"

"Remember, when I put on a chain, I didn't know my situation. I thought I was the master of the backyard. I barked at everyone, and I was kicked by Uncle Huang to be honest." Shen Zhiyun said.

Ruan Xinchuan couldn't believe it, "Are you two mocking me!"

Gu Hanshu continued, "To be honest is to be honest for a while, and I don't have a long memory. I am afraid that I will offend the students in the academy and be slaughtered by Uncle Huang in the backyard."

Ruan Xinchuan wanted to yell something more, but Gu Hanshu said, "Why, does Second Master Ruan still want to see that black dog?"

Ruan Xinchuan felt a chill in his heart, and was about to open his mouth to refute, when someone picked him up by his collar.

"Ruan Xinchuan, who let you in?"

Shao Xi came back with a gloomy expression.

"The commander sent me because..." Ruan Xinchuan hurriedly explained.

"Get out!" Shao Xi didn't want to listen to his explanation at all, so he yelled loudly.

"You are the only detective in the imperial city, so if you don't want to do it, just say it!" Shao Xi stared at him coldly.

Ruan Xinchuan was apprehensive, and smiled apologetically, "Commander, don't be angry, I'll leave now."

Ruan Xinchuan ran out two steps at a time, and staggered when he turned a corner, for fear of being punished by Shao Xilai.

Shao Xi watched Ruan Xinchuan leave, turned his head to look at the two giant Buddhas imprisoned in the prison, took a deep breath, and scolded, "Am I your ancestor? Hang four white banners to summon my soul?"

Turning to the jailer, "Why haven't the two of them changed into prison uniforms yet?"

The jailer trembled, "The white cloth Gu Shizi is wearing is the prison uniform."

The corners of Shao Xi's eyes twitched slightly, "Don't worry about it."

He waved to the two pawns who followed behind him. "Bring Shen Zhiyun out for me."

Two jailers opened the copper lock of the iron door. The sound of this kind of lock was very loud, and with a crisp sound, the lock could be heard falling.

The jailer held the copper lock to open the door, and asked Shen Zhiyun to come out.

Shen Zhiyun stood up and walked outside the door.

"Follow." Shao Xi ordered, then turned and walked to the interrogator's room.

"You will be interrogated first." Shao Xi said.

Shen Zhiyun was followed by two jailers to prevent sudden accidents during the escort.The black shackles on her hands made a crisp crashing sound as she walked.

When they arrived at the place of interrogation, Shen Zhiyun was unshackled and tied his wrists to a cross with a thick rope.

Shao Xi sat on the grand teacher's chair opposite, with an unfriendly expression on his face.

"Mu Qing." Shao Xi raised his hand, and the subordinate named Mu Qing put a stack of letter paper in his hand.

Shao Xi flipped through the "evidence of collusion with the enemy" that contained only a few strokes in each letter.

He lowered his head and said to himself, "King Qing used to be a hostage in Shengguo, and His Majesty never treated him badly, but he couldn't bear the fact that some dudes who didn't understand the rules made things difficult for King Qing. Master Shen was studying with King Qing at the academy at that time. He helped King Qing many times to avoid being besieged and beaten, and to King Qing at that time, Mr. Shen was like a divine soldier, saving lives."

Shen Zhiyun thought for a while and said, "Have you helped many times? Dare I ask Commander Shao how many times?"

Shao Xi still didn't look up, he had already read the criminal evidence in his hand when he took it from the palace, he slowly picked out a missing page from the few thin pages, trembling, "Shen How do I know how many times the adults help overtly and covertly?"

Shao Xi looked at this piece of paper and said, "I am grateful for Brother Shen's help. The situation in my court is unstable. When I take power, if there is a mutual market, I can share it with Brother Shen every year."

Shao Xi pressed this piece of paper to the back again, and read the next one, "I have successfully returned to China, thank you Brother Shen for your secret help, if you can control Hanhai, Brother Shen will be the minister of state affairs in a different place in Qing Kingdom, and the future will be bright. "

"The number of soldiers under Xue Deming."

"The geometry of Shengguo treasury."

"Gu..."

Shao Xi picked out a few more letters, and some of them had a clear purpose, without repeating anything, and directly asked about Sheng Sheng's internal affairs.

The prison was brightly lit, and there was a deathly silence, only Shao Xi's angry voice could be heard.

"Master Shen, do you recognize it?" Shao Xi looked up at Shen Zhiyun, looking straight at him like a wolf with night vision.

Shen Zhiyun smiled.
