I am Feng Jun

Chapter 202
Tang Shansi originally only paid half a month's rent for Suixing Pavilion, but due to this accident, the time was extended.

However, because Tang Shu rejected the residence arranged by You Ming before, he lived with Tang Shensi in this Broken Star Pavilion.

Therefore, the next money was all paid by Tang Shu, the mother.

Tang Shu paid another 1000 taels, which lasted for half a month.

Recently, she has been busy investigating the ice house, but after several searches, she has not found where the tunnel is.

On the contrary, she made a secret investigation and found some evidence of You Ming accepting bribes.

However, compared with the collusion between officials and bandits, this matter is much smaller, and the amount of money is not large, so it is impossible to completely drag You Ming down.

Tang Shu looked at the piles of files and letters piled up on the desk, and flipped through a thick account book in his hand, his brows twitched.

What crime did she do to continue what she gave up more than ten years ago!
It's all that brat Tang Shansi!

If he didn't run away from home, would he come all the way to Lucheng for his mother?

Ended up taking over this whole mess!
The matter of Lucheng, I don't know if I don't check it, it's really weird.

The wealthy merchants in Xingyang Street, the bandits in Luoshan, the missing persons, the tunnels in the ice workshop, and the numbers in the ledger that do not match.

Everywhere shows that the water in Lucheng is very deep.

And these are not just what Youming, a small prefect of Lucheng, can do.

That's all for Lucheng alone, what about the towns around Lucheng?

What do the dozens of cities in Yingzhou look like?
Tang Shu stared at him with a gloomy expression.

Staying in the imperial capital for a long time does not mean that she is not aware of the discord in this place.

"mother!"

A crisp sound came from the door, which made Tang Shu raise his eyebrows and interrupted her thoughts.

As soon as he thought of this troubled son, he came.

Tang Shu watched the powdered dumpling striding towards him with a serious face, frowning slightly.

It's really becoming less and less like a boy, the noble son of that family has such a big stride!
"What's the matter!" Tang Shu asked with cold eyes.

Xu Shi sensed that Tang Shu was in a bad mood, so Tang Shan Si paused and asked tentatively.

"Mom, are you busy?"

On weekdays, when my mother is busy, she looks like this, and Tang Shansi is very familiar with it.

Mentioning this, Tang Shu couldn't restrain his temper, "Don't you know if I'm busy?"

When I was busy before, it was mostly because His Royal Highness Qi brought people to do things in the Imperial College again.

But this busy time is entirely thanks to the 'blessing' of my own son!

This made Tang Shu, who always hated trouble and had stopped investigating cases more than ten years ago, feel a little annoyed.

But it happened that this was his only son, and he couldn't be scolded or beaten, otherwise she would be the one who felt sorry for him afterwards!
Moreover, this errand was delivered by the empress dowager, and it was also the empress's own will.

What else can she do?
I had to secretly say something wrong!
"Well, mother, you should be busy. I'll come back to you later. It's nothing serious anyway."

He just heard Tang Shu mention the matter of saying goodbye to his elder brother being the Second Young Master Shen by accident, so he wanted to ask about the specific situation.

With that said, Tang Shansi withdrew very skilfully, and closed the door from the outside.

Then he told Xiao Pan to make some ginseng tea for Tang Shu.

It's all customary.

But in the past, he directly ordered Tang Shu's maid who was serving in the study, but now that Tang Shu came alone, he could only order Xiao Pan.

Xiao Pan took the order to go down, and Tang Shansi returned to the courtyard. Coincidentally, he ran into Shen Ci and Shen Nanzhu who came in through the door.

"Farewell brother!"

Tang Shansi could recognize Shen Ci only because of Shen Ci's clothes and that familiar aura of dominance.

Tang Shansi thought that he had never met another man who had the same temperament as his elder brother Ci.

Even the five gentlemen next door felt that they were inferior to him in terms of momentum.

Although Tang Shansi recognized Shen Ci who was walking in the front, he expressed some doubts about the half mask on Shen Ci's face.

"Brother Ci, you are finally back, but you are so worried about me! What are you doing with a mask?"

Shen Ci saw the big fan running towards him with excitement on his face, and quickly took a few steps back.

He stretched out his hand again to block him, avoiding the embarrassing situation of being thrown by him.

"Hey, it's a long story, so I won't talk about it for now. Is there any hot water? Let's take a bath first."

Shen Ci hugged his shoulders and shook, and ash fell off his body for a while, he was very eager to take a bath now.

"Bei Lu, tell the store to bring more hot water."

Shen Nanzhu was beside Shen Ci, and before Tang Shansi could reply, he had already given orders.

Not only Shen Ci, but they also need to clean up.

Blood-stained, that is, people now know that Lucheng is a little nervous and doesn't go out much.

Otherwise, many people will be frightened.

"This is, Young Master Shen?" Tang Shan thought after knowing.

Is brother Ci really the second son of the Shen family they mentioned earlier?

Tang Shansi was quite amazed.

Just because I was a little excited when I saw Shen Ci, I almost forgot about it.

Seeing Shen Nanzhu now, he remembered it.

"So, brother Ci, are you the second son of the Shen family?"

Tang Shansi tilted his head to look at Shen Ci who was wearing a half white jade mask, the exposed lower half of his face was also very delicate in his opinion.

"So what do you look like, Brother Ci?"

Tang Shansi was really curious.

I only heard that the Second Young Master Shen has a pretty face, but the way I saw Brother Ci before, although it is not ugly, but it is too resolute, and I can't see the pretty face!
"Don't ask, it's just like before!"

Shen Ci felt that the matter of his disguised appearance should not be known to everyone, and it should be okay to fool this silly Baitian.

"Really?" Tang Shansi wondered, "Is that your true face, Brother Ci?"

It's not like, this half face looks a little different from before, the skin color feels different!
"En!" Shen Ci lifted his chin, and only responded lightly.

After Shen Nanzhu gave some specific instructions to Beilu, he heard the veins in the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but interrupt.

"I said, Mr. Tang, you should be seventeen this year, right?"

Tang Shan Siwen covered his mouth with a handkerchief, looking shyly at Shen Nanzhu.

"Oh, it's annoying, how can it be so easy to tell a boy's age!"

Shen Ci paused for a moment, with a surprised expression on his face, and then hurriedly took two steps back, expressing that he didn't really want to know this person
"But Ah Ci is only sixteen this year, you call him brother?" Shen Nanzhu raised his eyebrows.

Tang Shansi's expression cracked instantly, "Ten, sixteen?"

Tang Shansi looked at Shen Ci suddenly, "Are you only sixteen?"

How can it be!

How does he look like sixteen!
However, Young Master Shen wouldn't lie to him because of this matter!
So, the elder brother who he called for so long is the younger brother?
Tang Shansi frowned, with a handkerchief wrapped around his hand, he felt a little awkward for no reason.

He actually called someone younger than him brother?

Shen Ci felt even more fucked up than Tang Shansi at this moment.

Who the hell can tell that this dumpling is already seventeen?
What about seventeen?

He is 26 ah 26 ah!
"Well, resign brother?" Tang Shansi called out tentatively, feeling a little strange.

Sure enough, Shen Ci's face turned cold, and his voice was lowered, sounding a bit fierce, "Call me Master Ci!"

brother brother!

My brother is a ghost!

The strong cold air was a bit stinging, even Shen Nanzhu was a little startled, not to mention this silly Baitian.

He knew that Shen Ci didn't like the title of younger brother, but after knowing Shen Ci's age, he couldn't call him brother, so he could only change his words at this moment.

"Farewell, farewell."
