Not as beautiful as the uncle
Chapter 21 Are You Shy?
Chapter 21 Are You Shy?
However, she couldn't resist at all now, she could only watch helplessly as he stretched out his hand and ripped open the skirt of her underwear.
It's over, it's over!Chi Yu closed his eyes in despair.There are old scars and burns on her body, as long as it falls into Shen Qihuai's eyes, there is no room for argument.
She is real and will die again!
With grief and resentment in her heart, Chi Yu sobbed aloud, her road to revenge ended here, how reconciled!
The placket slipped off the shoulders, and the scar must be clearly visible in this dark bed.Chi Yu trembled and waited for death to come again. After waiting for a while, he felt his body sink suddenly, and the room became quiet for some reason.
what happened?Chi Yu froze for a moment, then opened his eyes immediately.
Shen Qihuai fell on her body, his eyes closed tightly, as if he had passed out, and his rough and powerful hands just now were hanging limply on the bed strings.
The burning candle on the table jumped to sparks and made a "pop", Chi Yu suddenly turned his head, and saw a person slowly coming from the outer room.
"If you say you are useless, you really are useless and show me." Shen Guyuan raised the gauze curtain at the partition expressionlessly, staring at her with contempt: "This trick can be fooled."
For some reason, seeing him, Chi Yu felt aggrieved, fell off the bed with her mouth open, and called pitifully, "Master."
"Is it a loss?" Shen Guyuan looked at her condescendingly: "You really think that Shen Qihuai is so easy to deal with, and you will completely trust you with just a few words?"
"I..." Chi Yu's nose soured: "I didn't expect him to make this move. He clearly didn't have any desire for me before..."
With a sneer, Shen Guyuan picked up Shen Qihuai who was on the bed, stuffed a pill into his mouth and threw it back on the bed, turned around and hooked his hands at the poor little man on the ground:
"come over."
Chi Yu nodded and wanted to stand up, but his legs were so weak that he fell back as soon as he got up, tears welling up again.
"Tsk." Walking over impatiently, Shen Guyuan took off his robe and covered her whole body, then hugged her up, curled his lips and said, "I just know how to cry!"
"I..." Chi Yu stretched out his hands to pinch his skirt, choked up and said, "I feel a little uncomfortable."
"It will be better if you have a little more brain next time, and it's nothing to feel bad about." Shen Guyuan gave her a white look.
"No..." Gripping him tightly, Chi Yu licked his lips, blushing, "I mean... I feel a little uncomfortable."
Ok?Shen Guyuan glanced at her blankly, then at the burning candle, frowning slightly: "Acacia incense."
"Are you smelling all right?" Chi Yu lost his mind, reached out and grabbed his hand and rubbed it on his face: "It's so cool."
The corner of his mouth twitched, Shen Guyuan picked her up and walked out.
"Go...where?"
"I can't solve this thing in you." Shen Guyuan said solemnly: "Then you can only find someone to have sex with, or you will die at dawn."
Chi Yu frowned: "I don't want to..."
"Dead or alive, which one do you choose?"
"Naturally...alive."
"Then shut up!"
It's so fierce, Chi Yu flattened his mouth, and while he was unconscious, he could finally smell the cool fragrance of his body.
"Hey!" Shen Guyuan's neck was itchy, and his whole body trembled, and he pinched her: "Be sober!"
"Hmm..." Holding him, Chi Yu said in a daze, "I think I'm very lucky, every time something happens to me, you will come to save me."
Shen Guyuan sneered: "You should reflect on it occasionally, why do you always get me into trouble?"
"Yes... I'm sorry." Chi Yu hugged him tightly: "No one has ever blocked these things for me. It's nice to meet you..."
His body was so hot that his heart was ironed. Shen Guyuan frowned and stopped, touched her forehead, cursed softly, turned around and walked in a different direction.
The light in the inn on Yongfu Street was still on, Xiao Er yawned and stood at the door waiting for the overnight guests, feeling sleepy, suddenly felt a gust of breeze blowing towards his face, and a fairy-like man was blowing towards him.
"Are there any vacancies?" the man asked coldly.
After staring blankly at him, Xiao Er came back to his senses, jumped up and bowed quickly: "Yes, yes! Please come upstairs, guest officer, Tianzi No. [-] room is still available."
The man nodded, followed him upstairs, gave Yinzi when he found the room, and shut him out.
The snow-white hair and brocade robe were gone, and Xiao Er patted his head after being in a daze for a long time, and muttered softly, "Hey, it's so pretty."
Chi Yu had turned light red all over, Shen Guyuan looked at it with a headache, thought for a long time, then took off his clothes, and carried her to bed.
This kind of poison, she can get rid of it by having sex with anyone casually, and there is really no need for him to expend his skills.But... Forget it, he is soft-hearted, so he should accumulate merit and help her.
Chi Yu was in a daze, thinking that he would definitely have nightmares at night, but to his surprise, he had a good night's sleep. When he woke up, he could smell the cool fragrance of plum blossoms in his breath.
Ok?Wait, it seems that I really smelled it!
Opening her eyes "swipe", what Chi Yu saw was a face very close to her, with long eyelashes almost reaching her forehead.
Sitting up suddenly, Chi Yu found that he was wearing a new underwear, and the wound on his wrist had already been medicated. His tongue hurt a little, but it didn't seem to be bleeding anymore.
What's even more frightening is that Shen Guyuan, who was lying next to her, had no hair on his upper body, his perfect body line was half hidden under his white hair, and his sleeping face was harmless to humans and animals. Next hot.
"Well."
Awakened by her movement, Shen Guyuan half-opened his eyes, and frowned: "It's so early in the morning, why are you pulling my quilt?"
Covering his nose with his hands, Chi Yu smiled at him: "I didn't mean to."
With the corners of his eyes raised slightly, Shen Guyuan sat up and looked at her, and said with a smile: "Don't have any unreasonable thoughts about me."
"Who...who has any unreasonable thoughts?" Chi Yu stared: "I just..."
"It's just that I look so good-looking, so I have a nosebleed?" Shen Guyuan snorted lightly, and wiped her hand covering her nose mockingly, her fingers were bright red.
Blood has flowed down the fingers?Chi Yu smiled awkwardly, and simply let go.
Blood was all over his face, Shen Guyuan shook his head, took a handkerchief to wipe her, and said: "The poison of the acacia incense has been detoxified, your internal fire is too strong, you will be fine after two days of eating something that ignites the fire."
Oh, the poison is gone!Chi Yu nodded blankly: "Thank you, Master."
Xie Wan felt something was wrong, Chi Yu tilted his head and thought for a while, his face suddenly flushed red: "You helped me detoxify?!"
"Otherwise?" Yawning, Shen Guyuan squinted at her: "If it wasn't for me, you would be dead."
Let's just say so, but!Chi Yu looked down at himself and then at him, feeling very complicated.
Shen Guyuan was her life-saving benefactor, logically speaking, there would be nothing wrong with showing her body, but she was full of hatred and never thought about other things, so it was a bit awkward to lose her body suddenly.
But he also wanted to save her life, and he didn't seem to care about it at all. It should be... can it be treated as if it didn't happen?
Tangled and scratched at his hair, Chi Yu roared in his heart, how could he pretend it didn't happen!How important is the reputation of a daughter's family, even if it is detoxification, it can't just disappear like this!
Shen Guyuan watched coldly, only to see this man scratching his ears and cheeks like a madman.At first he wanted to tell her that he was just using his kung fu to force poison, but suddenly he felt that Ning Chiyu's appearance was quite amusing.
Then don't tell her, let her figure it out on her own.
I was in a good mood and got out of bed to get dressed. Shen Guyuan was wearing a lace, and said in a neutral manner: "Shen Qihuai, I have taken care of it for you. When he wakes up today, he will only think that he has consummated his marriage with you."
Ok?Upon hearing this, Chi Yu came back to his senses and stared at him: "How did you do this?"
"Use the drug." Shen Guyuan turned his eyes away: "Only allow him to take the medicine, but not me?"
"What drug can be so powerful?" Chi Yu blinked: "I've never heard of it."
"The world is full of wonders. There are so many things you haven't heard of." Glancing at her, Shen Guyuan said impatiently: "You woke me up, and you still want to sleep? Hurry up and pack up, and go back to the palace." .”
"Oh!" Immediately jumped out of bed, Chi Yu freshened up, changed into the new clothes hanging on the screen next to her, and then went to the palace first.
Before entering the door, Chi Yu was still a little apprehensive, after all, the experience last night was terrifying, and she was worried that Shen Qihuai would remember it.
However, after entering the door, she found that she was worrying too much.
"Where have you been?" Shen Qihuai stood by the big fish pond in the vestibule and looked back at her, his eyebrows were very gentle: "I won't see you all the time, this king is very worried."
The corner of his mouth twitched, and Chi Yu felt that he couldn't smile at this disgusting face at all, so he could only lower his head and try his best to speak in a calm voice: "The chrysanthemums in the garden are blooming, and I just wanted to take a look when I got up."
"Are you shy?" Shen Qihuai chuckled, reaching out to pull her, but she avoided him with a cry of surprise: "Wow, this fish is so big."
After a slight pause, he withdrew his hand, followed her gaze, and said with a smile: "Yes, this is the oldest koi in the mansion. It was many years ago when someone came to the mansion, the prince of Zhennan It was specially bought by people at a high price.”
"Oh?" Chi Yu raised his eyebrows: "Who has such an honor? Let the old prince bother you so much."
"Who else can be." Shen Qihuai smiled: "Naturally it is the late Princess Chiyu. According to legend, before Princess Ning gave birth to the princess, she dreamed of a big fish in the pond. The fish in the pond is the disaster of the fish. Si Ming said it was an unknown Therefore, Lord Ning named the princess Chiyu, hoping to save her life and avoid disasters. Before she came to the palace, the king of Zhennan was afraid that she would ruin the feng shui of the palace, so he specially made such a big one. The fish is back."
His body froze, and Chi Yu was a little dazed.
Ten years ago, Shen Qihuai didn't say that. He said her name was "Chi Yu". In order to make her not lonely, the old prince brought a big fish back to accompany her.So she often came to see this big fish, and she was always grateful to the old prince.
In the end...it turned out to be a lie to her?
How many years has she been stupid to feel that the people around her are kind to her?These people... are either guarding against her behind their backs, or trying to plot her and use her.In their hearts, what exactly are they?
"Chi Yu." Shen Qihuai looked at her curiously: "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm a little tired." She recovered without looking up: "Can I go back to sleep for a while?"
"Okay." Shen Qihuai was very easy to talk to: "Go and rest, the king is going to the palace."
Chi Yu nodded and saluted, then turned and left.
Yun Yan came out from the darkness, stood behind Shen Qihuai in silence.
"Is there anything else you are worried about?" Shen Qihuai smiled: "She is already my king's person."
"I still have to ask the prince to be careful." Yun Yan said: "Before, she was also the third prince's person after all."
There was so much movement in the house that Shadow listened every time.
Suddenly a little unhappy, Shen Qihuai turned his head to look at him, frowning slightly: "Have you been drugged by Youwei?"
Yun Yan was startled: "Why did the prince say such a thing?"
With a soft snort, Shen Qihuai didn't say much, and walked away with a flick of his sleeves. Liu Yunyan stood there alone, dripping with cold sweat.
Sansi government office.
Shen Zhibai stood in front of Shen Guyuan, with blue veins on his forehead, but he still said clearly: "The envoy of Jiejie in Huainan is a distant relative of the prime minister's family. I exposed him for corruption in public, and he has already entered Beijing. The extra tax of [-] shi did not impose harshness on the people, it all came from the private treasury of the officials, besides..."
Unable to continue, Shen Zhibai looked at Shen Guyuan angrily: "Can I beat you up first?"
"Huh?" Shen Guyuan had an expression of "are you sick?": "Why beat me up? I didn't mess with you."
Shen Zhibai couldn't bear it anymore, he slapped his desk, and said angrily, "You've been laughing since I came in, the more I tell you the more you laugh, isn't it so funny!"
It's just too much!Taxation is such a serious matter, but he can listen to laughter, is he mocking him for doing something wrong?
"I'm laughing?" Shen Guyuan touched his face and said innocently: "No, what's so funny?"
He just thought of Ning Chiyu's flustered and tangled expression this morning, and thought it was fun.Should I scare her a little longer, she would definitely stare wide-eyed and say to him in panic, "Master, what should I do?"
"Pfft." Thinking of that, he couldn't help but really laughed out loud.
Shen Zhibai's face was darkened, he was no longer gentle and calm as before, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to step on his desk.
"Young Master!" Zhao Yinma who was next to him hastily restrained him and dragged him out.
"General Zhao." Shen Zhibai was very unhappy: "He deserves to be beaten, but you still protect him!"
Zhao Yinma shook his head with lingering fear: "Young Lord, I am protecting you."
"Huh?" Shen Zhibai frowned: "I know martial arts!"
"I will too." Zhao Yinma smiled dryly: "But yesterday I wanted to challenge His Highness, and before the two moves come... take care, Young Master."
Slightly shocked, Shen Zhibai was a little surprised: "His martial arts are so high? You are the number one warrior recognized by the court."
"Ashamed." Zhao Yinma scratched the back of his head: "Many years ago, I lost to Lord Mercy at the time of fifty strokes. I thought that a few years of hard work would improve me, but I didn't expect to pass both strokes with His Highness." No."
Looking at his fists, Shen Zhibai tucked them back into his sleeves, but his anger was still uncontrollable: "With high martial arts skills, you can be unscrupulous? I'm here to help, so I do my best, but he doesn't know how to have a better attitude!"
"Calm down your anger." Zhao Yinma laughed and smoothed things over: "But we've had a good time recently, and today I beat up a group of dog officials who wanted to fool the people and oppress the people. !"
That's true, when Shen Qihuai was in charge of Autumn Harvest, they also worked hard, but when they encountered corruption and reported it, it was often nothing.After questioning one or two, Shen Qihuai even said perfunctorily that he was too busy recently, and we will discuss it after the autumn harvest is over.
The autumn harvest is over, and the moths that should be fed are full, so what's the point?That's how Shen Zhibai quit before.
But now, Shen Guyuan, who is not afraid of anything, has come and allowed them to kill first and play later, and even invited them two imperial orders to make them stand upright when they do things.
He originally came to help for Chi Yu's sake, but until now, Shen Zhibai had to admire Shen Guyuan.
Thinking about it this way, his anger subsided, he snorted softly, and looked at the account book in his hand: "It's almost there, let's work harder."
"En." Zhao Yinma nodded: "I will definitely do my best."
However, according to the current taxes in the accounts, even if they try their best, it may be... a bit difficult.
As night fell, before Shen Qihuai came back from the palace, Chi Yu quietly left from the study and stuffed the things he brought out into the Yaochi Pavilion.
"Are we leaving?" Shen Guyuan lit the lamp and glanced at the tiptoeing man.
His body froze, Chi Yu said in embarrassment, "I can't stay here for long."
"What are you afraid of, the shadows are already asleep, no one can find you." Shen Guyuan pulled out the carved stool and patted him: "Sit down."
Chi Yu bit the bullet and turned around, not daring to look at him, and sat down obediently, staring at the stack of things she put on the table.
"Have you thought about it?" Shen Guyuan asked her slowly: "As long as you give me these things, he will find out that you are a spy, and you will not be able to stay by his side."
"Who wants to stay by his side?" Chi Yu gritted his teeth: "I just want him to stay on Huangquan Road!"
"That's good." Shen Guyuan nodded: "Leave it to me."
"Do you know how to use these things?" Chi Yu quickly grabbed the stack of things and explained them one by one seriously: "These things are only understood by me except him. There are black words and secret words on them. I wrote you a cracked booklet." , you can compare it. In addition, you can write a new roster, and it will be clear at a glance."
As soon as she talked about it, she couldn't stop talking.Shen Guyuan looked at her with his chin propped up, and said amusedly, "Aren't you shy?"
Chi Yu was taken aback for a moment, then immediately fell back, and lowered his head and said, "Who... who's shy?"
"Aren't you so worried about what happened last night that you dare not look me in the eye?" Shen Guyuan raised his eyebrows.
Chi Yu: "..."
If this is the case, everyone will be worried about it, okay?Although she is not a stingy person, but... looking at him now, she always feels weird in her heart.
Seeing her expression, Shen Guyuan couldn't help but laughed again: "Hahaha——"
Furious and angry, Chi Yu bravely stepped on him, and ran away after stepping on him!
"Stop!" A low shout came from behind, she pretended not to hear, and ran back to the guest room of the Mercy Pavilion.
Close the door, my heart is still pounding.
Pressing his heart, Chi Yu was silent for a while, and covered himself in the quilt.
You can't think about it, you can't think about it, it's her master, and according to her original status, she has to call her uncle, even if something happens, it's out of desperation, and she must not affect her mood.One time is enough for a man's loss.
After silently reciting the Diamond Sutra a few times, she calmed down and wanted to go to bed, but when she looked at the bed, she felt disgusted again, so she simply turned her head and hugged the new quilt to spread on the soft couch.
The autumn harvest is coming to an end, and the grain received from all over the country has been put into storage, and the details are presented in the table above.
In the Yamen of the Sansi Mansion, Shen Zhibai frowned and looked at the man in front of him, before asking after a while: "Is there really no problem?"
"You've done everything you need to do, so there's nothing wrong with it." Shen Guyuan put the notebook away casually, and looked sideways at him: "Worried about me?"
"No." Shen Zhibai shook his head: "Chi Yu asked me to help you, I'm just worried that if you fail to fulfill your promise, she will also be affected."
It's a kind of love?Shen Guyuan rolled his eyes and hooked his hand.
"What are you doing?" Shen Zhibai looked at him warily, but subconsciously leaned over two steps.
"This time you have helped me a lot, even at the expense of offending the Prime Minister's family. I owe you a favor." Shen Guyuan said solemnly: "In order to repay this favor, I will marry Chi Yu to you, how about it?"
Slightly startled, Shen Zhibai stared: "You..."
"Don't put on airs with me." Shen Guyuan raised his eyebrows: "You also like her."
These days, Shen Zhibai supervised the tax collection in Huainan and Huaibei for him. He went out early and returned late every day. He also got lost and couldn't go home several times, and offended many people.If he didn't like it, how could he go through fire and water just because of Ningchi Yu's words.
It is not surprising that a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old falls in love with anyone, but Shen Guyuan finds it strange that this thoughtful and capable young master can blindly look at Shangchi. fish?
Let's count Ning Chiyu's luck for now, since luck is on her way, he has to help her.
"I will marry the person Zhibai likes." After staring at him for a long time, Shen Zhibai took half a step back: "Don't bother Third Emperor Uncle."
Such a temper?Shen Guyuan raised his eyebrows: "But if you don't have my help, it will be very difficult to marry her."
Gaving him a confident look, Shen Zhibai waved his sleeves and stepped out the door.
Zhao Yinma, who was standing next to him, looked at him, and said worriedly: "Young Lord Hou is going out, and I don't know when he will be able to return to the palace, so someone can see him off."
"No need." Shen Guyuan squinted his eyes: "This person is stubborn, even if he knows he can't do it, he will definitely do it."
This is true for knowing the way, and it is also true for wanting to be with Ningchi Yu.
Zhao Yinma sighed, stretched out his hand and handed him the calculated accounts: "My lord, let's take a look at this first."
They have already tried their best, and the obstacles they encountered are not small, and there are many, it is impossible to solve all of them in a short time.The autumn harvest was coming to an end, and the grain in storage was much less than what Shen Guyuan promised.
"The humble job has been calculated, at least 500 million shi of grain is needed." Zhao Yinma said: "It is almost impossible to complete."
"What are you in a hurry for?" Shen Guyuan propped his chin and glanced at the account: "It's almost there."
Is this still called "so much"?Zhao Yinma looked at him worriedly, not knowing what to say.
After getting along during this period of time, he felt that Shen Guyuan was a good person. Although he spoke fiercely, he was unambiguous in his actions. His martial arts were also extremely high. When he was free, he would even teach him two tricks.It would be a pity to be demoted like this.
Shen Zhibai who was walking outside regardless of direction felt the same way, the court was extremely muddy, only Shen Guyuan was different.Although he doesn't like his attitude towards Chi Yu, such a prince is what the court needs and what he wants to see.
However, after the day after tomorrow, I'm afraid... it will be a farewell.
"He eats a mountain of candied haws every day."
In the Pavilion of Compassion, Shen Qihuai held his forehead and chuckled: "I'm afraid I'm going to die very quickly."
Chi Yu stood beside him with no emotion on his face.
"The defenses are all ready." Yun Yan cupped her hands and said, "In the past two days, it is impossible for anyone to force the guards to leave the capital, and it is the same at night."
"Okay." Shen Qihuai's eyes lit up: "Let's take a look at this uncle, what else can we do?"
"Tomorrow is the autumn meeting. Shen Guyuan has not fulfilled his promise, and he will definitely escape tonight." Chi Yu said seriously: "My lord, be careful."
Shen Qihuai was confident: "This king knows that his martial arts is very high, but all the guards in the capital are ready, even the guards in the official house have been transferred by this king. No matter how good his martial arts is, it is impossible for him to escape. "
"Then Chi Yu will wish the prince in advance, and his wish will be fulfilled." Chi Yu nodded.
"Hahaha!" Shen Qihuai was in a great mood, he stretched out his hand to pull her over, his eyes were deep: "Thanks to you, Chi Yu."
"My lord, thank you." Chi Yu looked at him and smiled: "As long as the damned person can get the retribution he deserves, I can do whatever you want."
Shen Qihuai was taken aback for a moment, feeling that when she said this, there seemed to be hatred in her eyes.But on closer inspection, he seemed to be dazzled again.Chi Yu looked at him with eyes clearly full of admiration.
He was puzzled for a moment, but he didn't think about it anymore.Tonight is a critical time.
The Mercy Prince's Mansion shrouded in night was very quiet, however, as soon as the midnight arrived, the sound of weapons clashing sounded from the Yaochi Pavilion.
"As expected." Seeing Shen Guyuan in front of her, Yun Yan sneered: "The Third Highness is in the middle of the night, with so many things, where are you going?"
Shen Guyuan's white hair was blown flying by the night wind, and his robe was fierce. He sneered at him with his burden on his back: "I go out for a walk, and it's your turn to take care of me?"
"My lord ordered, let us swear to protect His Highness Zhouquan." Yun Yan cupped her hands: "It's dangerous outside, my lord should stay in Yaochi Pavilion."
"I want to leave, do you think you can keep it?" Cursing his lips, Shen Guyuan flew over the courtyard wall.
"Stop him!" Yun Yan's expression darkened, "He's going to live!"
"Yes!"
The Prince of Mercy's Mansion became lively in an instant, Shen Qihuai put on his coat and listened, with a smile on his lips, he poured a cup of hot tea and drank it on his own.
The capital was in chaos, and the sleepy people didn't know what was going on. They just felt that the officers and soldiers were coming and going, and the whole capital was restless.By daybreak, everything seemed to have finally subsided.
After daybreak, it is the autumn festival.
In the place where the treasury is important, the young master sits on the dragon chair on the jade steps, Shen Qihuai stands beside him, the four princes sit on both sides, and many important officials from the court also come.
There shouldn't be such a big battle, but Shen Qihuai said, today is the first achievement made by the third prince who just came back, naturally, the more people present, the better, so that he can establish his prestige.So everyone was invited.The four princes who knew a little about the situation knew that Shen Guyuan was doomed today, so they didn't want to come.Unexpectedly, Shen Qihuai went to pick them up one by one in person, making them unable to hide even if they wanted to.
Prince Xiao's eyes were full of worry, and he dragged the officials around him and began to say: "This year's rain is not very good, and the harvest may not be very good."
"The prince's words are wrong." Shen Qihuai smiled: "This year's weather is good, and the harvest will definitely be as the third prince wishes."
"My imperial decree has been written." The young mistress on the dragon chair said in a childlike voice, "Brother Qihuai Emperor should change his tune. He is a prince and his title is Renshan."
"Your Majesty's imperial decree, let's wait until today's acceptance inspection is over." Shen Qihuai glanced at the direction of the treasury gate, and sneered: "It's almost noon, and no one has come yet."
When he said this, all the officials around him thought of it one after another: "That's right, it's so late, where is the Third Highness?"
"Isn't it time to go to the treasury early in the morning?"
"Could it be that you shrink back because you know you haven't fulfilled your promise?"
"Everyone, don't worry." Shen Qihuai acted as if he believed him very much: "It's hard to follow the words of the Third Highness, everyone just wait patiently."
Having said that, he knew very well in his heart that Shen Guyuan would not come today.
In a fierce battle last night, Shen Guyuan ran all over the entire capital, causing panic everywhere. He lost over a hundred soldiers but failed to catch him.Although he was unhappy, it was okay, Shen Guyuan was hit by five stones, and he could never come back, he still got his wish.When all the dust settles, the power of the autumn harvest will fall back into his hands, and the four old men who got in the way will have no more ground to say anything.
It's a good deal.
The hourglass leaked another bag, and half an hour passed, and the voices of everyone whispering became louder, mixed with doubts and worries.The corner of Shen Qihuai's mouth was raised, and he was about to turn his head to say something to the young master, when suddenly he heard a voice from ahead——
"There are a lot of people here."
The voice as cold as frost instantly stopped the overwhelming noise.Everyone followed the sound, and saw a person coming from a distance with fierce clothes.
With white hair flying behind him, and a red robe covered in fine patterns, Shen Guyuan's brows and eyes are as handsome as before, and there is still a mocking smile on the corners of his lips. Before the person arrives, his voice reaches first:
"I'm worried about how to let the people in the court know about one thing. It seems that I don't need to worry about it now."
Seeing him appear, the four princes breathed a sigh of relief, but Shen Qihuai's face changed drastically, and he took two steps forward in surprise: "You..."
Shen Guyuan didn't escape?And, still alive?
How is this possible?He has already thrown off the chase, he should leave the capital immediately, how can there be any reason to turn around and come back to die?
"Why does the prince have such an expression?" Facing him head-on, Shen Guyuan smiled: "Aren't you sure that I will come? I am here, why are you surprised?"
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, Shen Qihuai forced himself to calm down, and said in an unfriendly tone: "My king's surprise is that His Highness came down too late."
"I'm sorry." Shen Guyuan pursed his lips: "I planned to enter the palace last night, but I didn't expect to encounter trouble. If it wasn't for my martial arts, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come today."
Prince Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and quickly asked, "What's going on?"
"It's okay, even if they were assassinated, they were all guards in the palace." Shen Guyuan smiled and glanced at Shen Qihuai: "I captured thirty of them alive, and they were tied up for the prince and thrown into the prison. In the palace There have been so many spies, if you want to provoke the relationship between me and the prince, you must let Ting Wei take a good look at it."
A guard, it can be said to be an undercover agent sent by others, intends to frame Shen Qihuai.It would not be a coincidence if all thirty palace guards went to assassinate the third prince, it could only be Shen Qihuai's envoy.
Everyone's heart was clear, and they couldn't help looking at Shen Qihuai.Xu Zongzheng at the bottom said slightly reproachfully: "My lord, the blood of the royal family blends together, how can you..."
"It has nothing to do with this king." Shen Qihuai bit the bullet and said: "Third Highness is afraid that he has not completed the military order and has a guilty conscience, so he made up such a thing to slander this king."
"Oh?" Shen Guyuan raised his eyebrows, stood at the bottom of the jade steps, and looked up at him steadily: "Then if I complete the military order, won't I be slandering you?"
Everyone was shocked and whispered to each other.Shen Qihuai glanced at him, snorted coldly and stood with his hands behind his back: "According to what this king knows, the Third Highness is probably not close."
"This is the account book." Shen Guyuan stretched out his hand and handed the account book to the eunuch: "Please look over it, Your Majesty."
The eunuch took it with both hands respectfully, and held it in front of the young master.
However, before the little emperor reached out his hand, Shen Qihuai snatched it away, turned to the end, and said with a sneer: "Your Majesty, don't deceive your majesty to be young and ignorant of accounts, there is obviously a shortage of 500 million shi in food! "
"Dare to ask the prince." Shen Guyuan asked unhurriedly: "How much is a stone of grain worth?"
Shen Qihuai paused, and a civil servant beside him answered: "According to the price of grain in the capital, one stone of grain is 50 taels of silver."
"That's right." Shen Guyuan's eyes twitched, and he reached out to hand over another roll: "This is 3000 million taels of silver, which is equivalent to 600 million shi of grain, please have a look at it, Your Majesty."
The princes were taken aback for a moment, Prince Xiao hurriedly got up and went to pick up the thing first, the four princes formed a group and looked at it together.
Shen Qihuai looked at it, and sneered again and again: "This roll of paper is worth 3000 million taels of silver? Is this king not awake, or is the Third Highness dreaming?"
Shen Guyuan smiled and said nothing, the autumn wind blew, and the snow-white hair brushed against his eyebrows, making the maid next to him lose his mind for a moment.
"Your Majesty!" After seeing the thing, the four princes all knelt down together: "Please return to Yuqing Hall quickly, Your Majesty, and call a group of ministers to discuss this matter together!"
The young master was startled and almost stood up from the dragon chair: "What's going on?"
Shen Qihuai also lowered his gaze, walked down the jade steps in three steps, took the long scroll in Prince Xiaoqin's hand, and unfolded it.
It turned out to be a corruption book!
"The biggest sum should be in the treasury of the Prince of Mercy's Mansion. There are a total of 500 million taels of silver." Shen Guyuan looked at him calmly and said, "I went to see it last night, and it was sealed well. Yes, the soil was also buried. The soil is new, and it must be the stolen silver that was delivered just this year."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Shen Qihuai tore up the long scroll, furious: "Shen Guyuan, you came to slander the king and important officials of the court because you urged the autumn harvest to be unfavorable?!"
The long scroll was filled with the names of officials and the amount of corruption, and there were even places where the stolen money was hidden.No need to look carefully, just by looking at the first name, Shen Qihuai knew that Shen Guyuan had really found out.
However, he won't recognize it, and it's impossible to recognize it.
"Whether it's slander or not, don't you know if you check it?" Shen Guyuan sneered, and looked up at him: "Or is it that the prince has a guilty conscience and dares not let people check it at all?"
Shen Qihuai looked at him angrily: "You!"
The sky turned gloomy in an instant, the young master on the dragon chair trembled, and grabbed the sleeve of the eunuch uneasily, and all the officials held their breaths and dared not speak out, looking in fear at Shen Qihuai who was on the jade steps full of anger.
The King of Mercy always had a smiling face, and it had been a long time since he was so angry.This face twisted up, it was really scary.
After a long time, Xu Zongzheng stood up and smoothed things over carefully: "These matters should be submitted to the Tingwei Mansion for investigation. There are too many people involved. I'm afraid..."
"It makes sense, it makes sense." Yang Tingwei also came out and said, "Let's leave it to the lower officials to file the case. Today is to inspect and accept the results of the Third Highness's supervision of the autumn harvest. This is far away."
"Why is this so far-fetched?" Shen Zhibai stood up and said righteously: "Collecting grain is collecting, and collecting embezzled money is not collecting? They are all things that the common people cultivated, and they should all be returned to the treasury. Shouldn't they be counted together?"
"Yes." Prince Xiao also nodded: "This is indeed the same thing, but this file is of great importance and involves a lot, and it may be more troublesome to check it."
"Even so, it should be considered that His Royal Highness has fulfilled his promise." Prince Jing helped: "These two things together are indeed twice the tax revenue of last year."
"But if you calculate it this way, doesn't it mean that the corruption of these officials is confirmed?" Taifu Xue frowned: "After all, this piece of paper has no evidence, it is really flimsy."
Especially the 500 million taels of the King of Compassion, if it is taken seriously, it is a big deal.
Shen Guyuan looked at Shen Qihuai, who stabbed at him like a sword with fierce eyes.
With a slight smile, Shen Guyuan brushed his robe, and said: "The four princes have always discussed important matters in the court, and the princes of pity are the masters, and the Holy Majesty will issue an order to spread the message. Today's matter should be the same, so I invite the princes to discuss with you." Mercy Wang Ye has worked harder."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was a little surprised.Among the people he sued, there was also the King of Compassion, and he even let the King of Compassion decide?
However, Shen Qihuai's face was even uglier, and the shredded paper in his hands had been crumpled into disfigurement.
For so many years, for the first time in the Shen royal family, there was an opponent that gave him a headache.
Good, very good!
"This king has a clear conscience. Since he has been accused for no reason, he must give an explanation." Throwing the shredded paper, Shen Qihuai sneered: "The Third Highness must have made some contributions to this autumn harvest, but the promise has not been fulfilled. It is not a loss. For the sake of justice, please ask the Third Highness to inspect the Tingwei Mansion and confiscate all the stolen money you think exists into the national treasury. Once the amount is reached, the Third Highness will be considered a winner."
"However, if one of the things written on it wronged someone else, it will be considered that His Highness has lost, how about it?"
(End of this chapter)
However, she couldn't resist at all now, she could only watch helplessly as he stretched out his hand and ripped open the skirt of her underwear.
It's over, it's over!Chi Yu closed his eyes in despair.There are old scars and burns on her body, as long as it falls into Shen Qihuai's eyes, there is no room for argument.
She is real and will die again!
With grief and resentment in her heart, Chi Yu sobbed aloud, her road to revenge ended here, how reconciled!
The placket slipped off the shoulders, and the scar must be clearly visible in this dark bed.Chi Yu trembled and waited for death to come again. After waiting for a while, he felt his body sink suddenly, and the room became quiet for some reason.
what happened?Chi Yu froze for a moment, then opened his eyes immediately.
Shen Qihuai fell on her body, his eyes closed tightly, as if he had passed out, and his rough and powerful hands just now were hanging limply on the bed strings.
The burning candle on the table jumped to sparks and made a "pop", Chi Yu suddenly turned his head, and saw a person slowly coming from the outer room.
"If you say you are useless, you really are useless and show me." Shen Guyuan raised the gauze curtain at the partition expressionlessly, staring at her with contempt: "This trick can be fooled."
For some reason, seeing him, Chi Yu felt aggrieved, fell off the bed with her mouth open, and called pitifully, "Master."
"Is it a loss?" Shen Guyuan looked at her condescendingly: "You really think that Shen Qihuai is so easy to deal with, and you will completely trust you with just a few words?"
"I..." Chi Yu's nose soured: "I didn't expect him to make this move. He clearly didn't have any desire for me before..."
With a sneer, Shen Guyuan picked up Shen Qihuai who was on the bed, stuffed a pill into his mouth and threw it back on the bed, turned around and hooked his hands at the poor little man on the ground:
"come over."
Chi Yu nodded and wanted to stand up, but his legs were so weak that he fell back as soon as he got up, tears welling up again.
"Tsk." Walking over impatiently, Shen Guyuan took off his robe and covered her whole body, then hugged her up, curled his lips and said, "I just know how to cry!"
"I..." Chi Yu stretched out his hands to pinch his skirt, choked up and said, "I feel a little uncomfortable."
"It will be better if you have a little more brain next time, and it's nothing to feel bad about." Shen Guyuan gave her a white look.
"No..." Gripping him tightly, Chi Yu licked his lips, blushing, "I mean... I feel a little uncomfortable."
Ok?Shen Guyuan glanced at her blankly, then at the burning candle, frowning slightly: "Acacia incense."
"Are you smelling all right?" Chi Yu lost his mind, reached out and grabbed his hand and rubbed it on his face: "It's so cool."
The corner of his mouth twitched, Shen Guyuan picked her up and walked out.
"Go...where?"
"I can't solve this thing in you." Shen Guyuan said solemnly: "Then you can only find someone to have sex with, or you will die at dawn."
Chi Yu frowned: "I don't want to..."
"Dead or alive, which one do you choose?"
"Naturally...alive."
"Then shut up!"
It's so fierce, Chi Yu flattened his mouth, and while he was unconscious, he could finally smell the cool fragrance of his body.
"Hey!" Shen Guyuan's neck was itchy, and his whole body trembled, and he pinched her: "Be sober!"
"Hmm..." Holding him, Chi Yu said in a daze, "I think I'm very lucky, every time something happens to me, you will come to save me."
Shen Guyuan sneered: "You should reflect on it occasionally, why do you always get me into trouble?"
"Yes... I'm sorry." Chi Yu hugged him tightly: "No one has ever blocked these things for me. It's nice to meet you..."
His body was so hot that his heart was ironed. Shen Guyuan frowned and stopped, touched her forehead, cursed softly, turned around and walked in a different direction.
The light in the inn on Yongfu Street was still on, Xiao Er yawned and stood at the door waiting for the overnight guests, feeling sleepy, suddenly felt a gust of breeze blowing towards his face, and a fairy-like man was blowing towards him.
"Are there any vacancies?" the man asked coldly.
After staring blankly at him, Xiao Er came back to his senses, jumped up and bowed quickly: "Yes, yes! Please come upstairs, guest officer, Tianzi No. [-] room is still available."
The man nodded, followed him upstairs, gave Yinzi when he found the room, and shut him out.
The snow-white hair and brocade robe were gone, and Xiao Er patted his head after being in a daze for a long time, and muttered softly, "Hey, it's so pretty."
Chi Yu had turned light red all over, Shen Guyuan looked at it with a headache, thought for a long time, then took off his clothes, and carried her to bed.
This kind of poison, she can get rid of it by having sex with anyone casually, and there is really no need for him to expend his skills.But... Forget it, he is soft-hearted, so he should accumulate merit and help her.
Chi Yu was in a daze, thinking that he would definitely have nightmares at night, but to his surprise, he had a good night's sleep. When he woke up, he could smell the cool fragrance of plum blossoms in his breath.
Ok?Wait, it seems that I really smelled it!
Opening her eyes "swipe", what Chi Yu saw was a face very close to her, with long eyelashes almost reaching her forehead.
Sitting up suddenly, Chi Yu found that he was wearing a new underwear, and the wound on his wrist had already been medicated. His tongue hurt a little, but it didn't seem to be bleeding anymore.
What's even more frightening is that Shen Guyuan, who was lying next to her, had no hair on his upper body, his perfect body line was half hidden under his white hair, and his sleeping face was harmless to humans and animals. Next hot.
"Well."
Awakened by her movement, Shen Guyuan half-opened his eyes, and frowned: "It's so early in the morning, why are you pulling my quilt?"
Covering his nose with his hands, Chi Yu smiled at him: "I didn't mean to."
With the corners of his eyes raised slightly, Shen Guyuan sat up and looked at her, and said with a smile: "Don't have any unreasonable thoughts about me."
"Who...who has any unreasonable thoughts?" Chi Yu stared: "I just..."
"It's just that I look so good-looking, so I have a nosebleed?" Shen Guyuan snorted lightly, and wiped her hand covering her nose mockingly, her fingers were bright red.
Blood has flowed down the fingers?Chi Yu smiled awkwardly, and simply let go.
Blood was all over his face, Shen Guyuan shook his head, took a handkerchief to wipe her, and said: "The poison of the acacia incense has been detoxified, your internal fire is too strong, you will be fine after two days of eating something that ignites the fire."
Oh, the poison is gone!Chi Yu nodded blankly: "Thank you, Master."
Xie Wan felt something was wrong, Chi Yu tilted his head and thought for a while, his face suddenly flushed red: "You helped me detoxify?!"
"Otherwise?" Yawning, Shen Guyuan squinted at her: "If it wasn't for me, you would be dead."
Let's just say so, but!Chi Yu looked down at himself and then at him, feeling very complicated.
Shen Guyuan was her life-saving benefactor, logically speaking, there would be nothing wrong with showing her body, but she was full of hatred and never thought about other things, so it was a bit awkward to lose her body suddenly.
But he also wanted to save her life, and he didn't seem to care about it at all. It should be... can it be treated as if it didn't happen?
Tangled and scratched at his hair, Chi Yu roared in his heart, how could he pretend it didn't happen!How important is the reputation of a daughter's family, even if it is detoxification, it can't just disappear like this!
Shen Guyuan watched coldly, only to see this man scratching his ears and cheeks like a madman.At first he wanted to tell her that he was just using his kung fu to force poison, but suddenly he felt that Ning Chiyu's appearance was quite amusing.
Then don't tell her, let her figure it out on her own.
I was in a good mood and got out of bed to get dressed. Shen Guyuan was wearing a lace, and said in a neutral manner: "Shen Qihuai, I have taken care of it for you. When he wakes up today, he will only think that he has consummated his marriage with you."
Ok?Upon hearing this, Chi Yu came back to his senses and stared at him: "How did you do this?"
"Use the drug." Shen Guyuan turned his eyes away: "Only allow him to take the medicine, but not me?"
"What drug can be so powerful?" Chi Yu blinked: "I've never heard of it."
"The world is full of wonders. There are so many things you haven't heard of." Glancing at her, Shen Guyuan said impatiently: "You woke me up, and you still want to sleep? Hurry up and pack up, and go back to the palace." .”
"Oh!" Immediately jumped out of bed, Chi Yu freshened up, changed into the new clothes hanging on the screen next to her, and then went to the palace first.
Before entering the door, Chi Yu was still a little apprehensive, after all, the experience last night was terrifying, and she was worried that Shen Qihuai would remember it.
However, after entering the door, she found that she was worrying too much.
"Where have you been?" Shen Qihuai stood by the big fish pond in the vestibule and looked back at her, his eyebrows were very gentle: "I won't see you all the time, this king is very worried."
The corner of his mouth twitched, and Chi Yu felt that he couldn't smile at this disgusting face at all, so he could only lower his head and try his best to speak in a calm voice: "The chrysanthemums in the garden are blooming, and I just wanted to take a look when I got up."
"Are you shy?" Shen Qihuai chuckled, reaching out to pull her, but she avoided him with a cry of surprise: "Wow, this fish is so big."
After a slight pause, he withdrew his hand, followed her gaze, and said with a smile: "Yes, this is the oldest koi in the mansion. It was many years ago when someone came to the mansion, the prince of Zhennan It was specially bought by people at a high price.”
"Oh?" Chi Yu raised his eyebrows: "Who has such an honor? Let the old prince bother you so much."
"Who else can be." Shen Qihuai smiled: "Naturally it is the late Princess Chiyu. According to legend, before Princess Ning gave birth to the princess, she dreamed of a big fish in the pond. The fish in the pond is the disaster of the fish. Si Ming said it was an unknown Therefore, Lord Ning named the princess Chiyu, hoping to save her life and avoid disasters. Before she came to the palace, the king of Zhennan was afraid that she would ruin the feng shui of the palace, so he specially made such a big one. The fish is back."
His body froze, and Chi Yu was a little dazed.
Ten years ago, Shen Qihuai didn't say that. He said her name was "Chi Yu". In order to make her not lonely, the old prince brought a big fish back to accompany her.So she often came to see this big fish, and she was always grateful to the old prince.
In the end...it turned out to be a lie to her?
How many years has she been stupid to feel that the people around her are kind to her?These people... are either guarding against her behind their backs, or trying to plot her and use her.In their hearts, what exactly are they?
"Chi Yu." Shen Qihuai looked at her curiously: "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm a little tired." She recovered without looking up: "Can I go back to sleep for a while?"
"Okay." Shen Qihuai was very easy to talk to: "Go and rest, the king is going to the palace."
Chi Yu nodded and saluted, then turned and left.
Yun Yan came out from the darkness, stood behind Shen Qihuai in silence.
"Is there anything else you are worried about?" Shen Qihuai smiled: "She is already my king's person."
"I still have to ask the prince to be careful." Yun Yan said: "Before, she was also the third prince's person after all."
There was so much movement in the house that Shadow listened every time.
Suddenly a little unhappy, Shen Qihuai turned his head to look at him, frowning slightly: "Have you been drugged by Youwei?"
Yun Yan was startled: "Why did the prince say such a thing?"
With a soft snort, Shen Qihuai didn't say much, and walked away with a flick of his sleeves. Liu Yunyan stood there alone, dripping with cold sweat.
Sansi government office.
Shen Zhibai stood in front of Shen Guyuan, with blue veins on his forehead, but he still said clearly: "The envoy of Jiejie in Huainan is a distant relative of the prime minister's family. I exposed him for corruption in public, and he has already entered Beijing. The extra tax of [-] shi did not impose harshness on the people, it all came from the private treasury of the officials, besides..."
Unable to continue, Shen Zhibai looked at Shen Guyuan angrily: "Can I beat you up first?"
"Huh?" Shen Guyuan had an expression of "are you sick?": "Why beat me up? I didn't mess with you."
Shen Zhibai couldn't bear it anymore, he slapped his desk, and said angrily, "You've been laughing since I came in, the more I tell you the more you laugh, isn't it so funny!"
It's just too much!Taxation is such a serious matter, but he can listen to laughter, is he mocking him for doing something wrong?
"I'm laughing?" Shen Guyuan touched his face and said innocently: "No, what's so funny?"
He just thought of Ning Chiyu's flustered and tangled expression this morning, and thought it was fun.Should I scare her a little longer, she would definitely stare wide-eyed and say to him in panic, "Master, what should I do?"
"Pfft." Thinking of that, he couldn't help but really laughed out loud.
Shen Zhibai's face was darkened, he was no longer gentle and calm as before, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to step on his desk.
"Young Master!" Zhao Yinma who was next to him hastily restrained him and dragged him out.
"General Zhao." Shen Zhibai was very unhappy: "He deserves to be beaten, but you still protect him!"
Zhao Yinma shook his head with lingering fear: "Young Lord, I am protecting you."
"Huh?" Shen Zhibai frowned: "I know martial arts!"
"I will too." Zhao Yinma smiled dryly: "But yesterday I wanted to challenge His Highness, and before the two moves come... take care, Young Master."
Slightly shocked, Shen Zhibai was a little surprised: "His martial arts are so high? You are the number one warrior recognized by the court."
"Ashamed." Zhao Yinma scratched the back of his head: "Many years ago, I lost to Lord Mercy at the time of fifty strokes. I thought that a few years of hard work would improve me, but I didn't expect to pass both strokes with His Highness." No."
Looking at his fists, Shen Zhibai tucked them back into his sleeves, but his anger was still uncontrollable: "With high martial arts skills, you can be unscrupulous? I'm here to help, so I do my best, but he doesn't know how to have a better attitude!"
"Calm down your anger." Zhao Yinma laughed and smoothed things over: "But we've had a good time recently, and today I beat up a group of dog officials who wanted to fool the people and oppress the people. !"
That's true, when Shen Qihuai was in charge of Autumn Harvest, they also worked hard, but when they encountered corruption and reported it, it was often nothing.After questioning one or two, Shen Qihuai even said perfunctorily that he was too busy recently, and we will discuss it after the autumn harvest is over.
The autumn harvest is over, and the moths that should be fed are full, so what's the point?That's how Shen Zhibai quit before.
But now, Shen Guyuan, who is not afraid of anything, has come and allowed them to kill first and play later, and even invited them two imperial orders to make them stand upright when they do things.
He originally came to help for Chi Yu's sake, but until now, Shen Zhibai had to admire Shen Guyuan.
Thinking about it this way, his anger subsided, he snorted softly, and looked at the account book in his hand: "It's almost there, let's work harder."
"En." Zhao Yinma nodded: "I will definitely do my best."
However, according to the current taxes in the accounts, even if they try their best, it may be... a bit difficult.
As night fell, before Shen Qihuai came back from the palace, Chi Yu quietly left from the study and stuffed the things he brought out into the Yaochi Pavilion.
"Are we leaving?" Shen Guyuan lit the lamp and glanced at the tiptoeing man.
His body froze, Chi Yu said in embarrassment, "I can't stay here for long."
"What are you afraid of, the shadows are already asleep, no one can find you." Shen Guyuan pulled out the carved stool and patted him: "Sit down."
Chi Yu bit the bullet and turned around, not daring to look at him, and sat down obediently, staring at the stack of things she put on the table.
"Have you thought about it?" Shen Guyuan asked her slowly: "As long as you give me these things, he will find out that you are a spy, and you will not be able to stay by his side."
"Who wants to stay by his side?" Chi Yu gritted his teeth: "I just want him to stay on Huangquan Road!"
"That's good." Shen Guyuan nodded: "Leave it to me."
"Do you know how to use these things?" Chi Yu quickly grabbed the stack of things and explained them one by one seriously: "These things are only understood by me except him. There are black words and secret words on them. I wrote you a cracked booklet." , you can compare it. In addition, you can write a new roster, and it will be clear at a glance."
As soon as she talked about it, she couldn't stop talking.Shen Guyuan looked at her with his chin propped up, and said amusedly, "Aren't you shy?"
Chi Yu was taken aback for a moment, then immediately fell back, and lowered his head and said, "Who... who's shy?"
"Aren't you so worried about what happened last night that you dare not look me in the eye?" Shen Guyuan raised his eyebrows.
Chi Yu: "..."
If this is the case, everyone will be worried about it, okay?Although she is not a stingy person, but... looking at him now, she always feels weird in her heart.
Seeing her expression, Shen Guyuan couldn't help but laughed again: "Hahaha——"
Furious and angry, Chi Yu bravely stepped on him, and ran away after stepping on him!
"Stop!" A low shout came from behind, she pretended not to hear, and ran back to the guest room of the Mercy Pavilion.
Close the door, my heart is still pounding.
Pressing his heart, Chi Yu was silent for a while, and covered himself in the quilt.
You can't think about it, you can't think about it, it's her master, and according to her original status, she has to call her uncle, even if something happens, it's out of desperation, and she must not affect her mood.One time is enough for a man's loss.
After silently reciting the Diamond Sutra a few times, she calmed down and wanted to go to bed, but when she looked at the bed, she felt disgusted again, so she simply turned her head and hugged the new quilt to spread on the soft couch.
The autumn harvest is coming to an end, and the grain received from all over the country has been put into storage, and the details are presented in the table above.
In the Yamen of the Sansi Mansion, Shen Zhibai frowned and looked at the man in front of him, before asking after a while: "Is there really no problem?"
"You've done everything you need to do, so there's nothing wrong with it." Shen Guyuan put the notebook away casually, and looked sideways at him: "Worried about me?"
"No." Shen Zhibai shook his head: "Chi Yu asked me to help you, I'm just worried that if you fail to fulfill your promise, she will also be affected."
It's a kind of love?Shen Guyuan rolled his eyes and hooked his hand.
"What are you doing?" Shen Zhibai looked at him warily, but subconsciously leaned over two steps.
"This time you have helped me a lot, even at the expense of offending the Prime Minister's family. I owe you a favor." Shen Guyuan said solemnly: "In order to repay this favor, I will marry Chi Yu to you, how about it?"
Slightly startled, Shen Zhibai stared: "You..."
"Don't put on airs with me." Shen Guyuan raised his eyebrows: "You also like her."
These days, Shen Zhibai supervised the tax collection in Huainan and Huaibei for him. He went out early and returned late every day. He also got lost and couldn't go home several times, and offended many people.If he didn't like it, how could he go through fire and water just because of Ningchi Yu's words.
It is not surprising that a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old falls in love with anyone, but Shen Guyuan finds it strange that this thoughtful and capable young master can blindly look at Shangchi. fish?
Let's count Ning Chiyu's luck for now, since luck is on her way, he has to help her.
"I will marry the person Zhibai likes." After staring at him for a long time, Shen Zhibai took half a step back: "Don't bother Third Emperor Uncle."
Such a temper?Shen Guyuan raised his eyebrows: "But if you don't have my help, it will be very difficult to marry her."
Gaving him a confident look, Shen Zhibai waved his sleeves and stepped out the door.
Zhao Yinma, who was standing next to him, looked at him, and said worriedly: "Young Lord Hou is going out, and I don't know when he will be able to return to the palace, so someone can see him off."
"No need." Shen Guyuan squinted his eyes: "This person is stubborn, even if he knows he can't do it, he will definitely do it."
This is true for knowing the way, and it is also true for wanting to be with Ningchi Yu.
Zhao Yinma sighed, stretched out his hand and handed him the calculated accounts: "My lord, let's take a look at this first."
They have already tried their best, and the obstacles they encountered are not small, and there are many, it is impossible to solve all of them in a short time.The autumn harvest was coming to an end, and the grain in storage was much less than what Shen Guyuan promised.
"The humble job has been calculated, at least 500 million shi of grain is needed." Zhao Yinma said: "It is almost impossible to complete."
"What are you in a hurry for?" Shen Guyuan propped his chin and glanced at the account: "It's almost there."
Is this still called "so much"?Zhao Yinma looked at him worriedly, not knowing what to say.
After getting along during this period of time, he felt that Shen Guyuan was a good person. Although he spoke fiercely, he was unambiguous in his actions. His martial arts were also extremely high. When he was free, he would even teach him two tricks.It would be a pity to be demoted like this.
Shen Zhibai who was walking outside regardless of direction felt the same way, the court was extremely muddy, only Shen Guyuan was different.Although he doesn't like his attitude towards Chi Yu, such a prince is what the court needs and what he wants to see.
However, after the day after tomorrow, I'm afraid... it will be a farewell.
"He eats a mountain of candied haws every day."
In the Pavilion of Compassion, Shen Qihuai held his forehead and chuckled: "I'm afraid I'm going to die very quickly."
Chi Yu stood beside him with no emotion on his face.
"The defenses are all ready." Yun Yan cupped her hands and said, "In the past two days, it is impossible for anyone to force the guards to leave the capital, and it is the same at night."
"Okay." Shen Qihuai's eyes lit up: "Let's take a look at this uncle, what else can we do?"
"Tomorrow is the autumn meeting. Shen Guyuan has not fulfilled his promise, and he will definitely escape tonight." Chi Yu said seriously: "My lord, be careful."
Shen Qihuai was confident: "This king knows that his martial arts is very high, but all the guards in the capital are ready, even the guards in the official house have been transferred by this king. No matter how good his martial arts is, it is impossible for him to escape. "
"Then Chi Yu will wish the prince in advance, and his wish will be fulfilled." Chi Yu nodded.
"Hahaha!" Shen Qihuai was in a great mood, he stretched out his hand to pull her over, his eyes were deep: "Thanks to you, Chi Yu."
"My lord, thank you." Chi Yu looked at him and smiled: "As long as the damned person can get the retribution he deserves, I can do whatever you want."
Shen Qihuai was taken aback for a moment, feeling that when she said this, there seemed to be hatred in her eyes.But on closer inspection, he seemed to be dazzled again.Chi Yu looked at him with eyes clearly full of admiration.
He was puzzled for a moment, but he didn't think about it anymore.Tonight is a critical time.
The Mercy Prince's Mansion shrouded in night was very quiet, however, as soon as the midnight arrived, the sound of weapons clashing sounded from the Yaochi Pavilion.
"As expected." Seeing Shen Guyuan in front of her, Yun Yan sneered: "The Third Highness is in the middle of the night, with so many things, where are you going?"
Shen Guyuan's white hair was blown flying by the night wind, and his robe was fierce. He sneered at him with his burden on his back: "I go out for a walk, and it's your turn to take care of me?"
"My lord ordered, let us swear to protect His Highness Zhouquan." Yun Yan cupped her hands: "It's dangerous outside, my lord should stay in Yaochi Pavilion."
"I want to leave, do you think you can keep it?" Cursing his lips, Shen Guyuan flew over the courtyard wall.
"Stop him!" Yun Yan's expression darkened, "He's going to live!"
"Yes!"
The Prince of Mercy's Mansion became lively in an instant, Shen Qihuai put on his coat and listened, with a smile on his lips, he poured a cup of hot tea and drank it on his own.
The capital was in chaos, and the sleepy people didn't know what was going on. They just felt that the officers and soldiers were coming and going, and the whole capital was restless.By daybreak, everything seemed to have finally subsided.
After daybreak, it is the autumn festival.
In the place where the treasury is important, the young master sits on the dragon chair on the jade steps, Shen Qihuai stands beside him, the four princes sit on both sides, and many important officials from the court also come.
There shouldn't be such a big battle, but Shen Qihuai said, today is the first achievement made by the third prince who just came back, naturally, the more people present, the better, so that he can establish his prestige.So everyone was invited.The four princes who knew a little about the situation knew that Shen Guyuan was doomed today, so they didn't want to come.Unexpectedly, Shen Qihuai went to pick them up one by one in person, making them unable to hide even if they wanted to.
Prince Xiao's eyes were full of worry, and he dragged the officials around him and began to say: "This year's rain is not very good, and the harvest may not be very good."
"The prince's words are wrong." Shen Qihuai smiled: "This year's weather is good, and the harvest will definitely be as the third prince wishes."
"My imperial decree has been written." The young mistress on the dragon chair said in a childlike voice, "Brother Qihuai Emperor should change his tune. He is a prince and his title is Renshan."
"Your Majesty's imperial decree, let's wait until today's acceptance inspection is over." Shen Qihuai glanced at the direction of the treasury gate, and sneered: "It's almost noon, and no one has come yet."
When he said this, all the officials around him thought of it one after another: "That's right, it's so late, where is the Third Highness?"
"Isn't it time to go to the treasury early in the morning?"
"Could it be that you shrink back because you know you haven't fulfilled your promise?"
"Everyone, don't worry." Shen Qihuai acted as if he believed him very much: "It's hard to follow the words of the Third Highness, everyone just wait patiently."
Having said that, he knew very well in his heart that Shen Guyuan would not come today.
In a fierce battle last night, Shen Guyuan ran all over the entire capital, causing panic everywhere. He lost over a hundred soldiers but failed to catch him.Although he was unhappy, it was okay, Shen Guyuan was hit by five stones, and he could never come back, he still got his wish.When all the dust settles, the power of the autumn harvest will fall back into his hands, and the four old men who got in the way will have no more ground to say anything.
It's a good deal.
The hourglass leaked another bag, and half an hour passed, and the voices of everyone whispering became louder, mixed with doubts and worries.The corner of Shen Qihuai's mouth was raised, and he was about to turn his head to say something to the young master, when suddenly he heard a voice from ahead——
"There are a lot of people here."
The voice as cold as frost instantly stopped the overwhelming noise.Everyone followed the sound, and saw a person coming from a distance with fierce clothes.
With white hair flying behind him, and a red robe covered in fine patterns, Shen Guyuan's brows and eyes are as handsome as before, and there is still a mocking smile on the corners of his lips. Before the person arrives, his voice reaches first:
"I'm worried about how to let the people in the court know about one thing. It seems that I don't need to worry about it now."
Seeing him appear, the four princes breathed a sigh of relief, but Shen Qihuai's face changed drastically, and he took two steps forward in surprise: "You..."
Shen Guyuan didn't escape?And, still alive?
How is this possible?He has already thrown off the chase, he should leave the capital immediately, how can there be any reason to turn around and come back to die?
"Why does the prince have such an expression?" Facing him head-on, Shen Guyuan smiled: "Aren't you sure that I will come? I am here, why are you surprised?"
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, Shen Qihuai forced himself to calm down, and said in an unfriendly tone: "My king's surprise is that His Highness came down too late."
"I'm sorry." Shen Guyuan pursed his lips: "I planned to enter the palace last night, but I didn't expect to encounter trouble. If it wasn't for my martial arts, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come today."
Prince Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and quickly asked, "What's going on?"
"It's okay, even if they were assassinated, they were all guards in the palace." Shen Guyuan smiled and glanced at Shen Qihuai: "I captured thirty of them alive, and they were tied up for the prince and thrown into the prison. In the palace There have been so many spies, if you want to provoke the relationship between me and the prince, you must let Ting Wei take a good look at it."
A guard, it can be said to be an undercover agent sent by others, intends to frame Shen Qihuai.It would not be a coincidence if all thirty palace guards went to assassinate the third prince, it could only be Shen Qihuai's envoy.
Everyone's heart was clear, and they couldn't help looking at Shen Qihuai.Xu Zongzheng at the bottom said slightly reproachfully: "My lord, the blood of the royal family blends together, how can you..."
"It has nothing to do with this king." Shen Qihuai bit the bullet and said: "Third Highness is afraid that he has not completed the military order and has a guilty conscience, so he made up such a thing to slander this king."
"Oh?" Shen Guyuan raised his eyebrows, stood at the bottom of the jade steps, and looked up at him steadily: "Then if I complete the military order, won't I be slandering you?"
Everyone was shocked and whispered to each other.Shen Qihuai glanced at him, snorted coldly and stood with his hands behind his back: "According to what this king knows, the Third Highness is probably not close."
"This is the account book." Shen Guyuan stretched out his hand and handed the account book to the eunuch: "Please look over it, Your Majesty."
The eunuch took it with both hands respectfully, and held it in front of the young master.
However, before the little emperor reached out his hand, Shen Qihuai snatched it away, turned to the end, and said with a sneer: "Your Majesty, don't deceive your majesty to be young and ignorant of accounts, there is obviously a shortage of 500 million shi in food! "
"Dare to ask the prince." Shen Guyuan asked unhurriedly: "How much is a stone of grain worth?"
Shen Qihuai paused, and a civil servant beside him answered: "According to the price of grain in the capital, one stone of grain is 50 taels of silver."
"That's right." Shen Guyuan's eyes twitched, and he reached out to hand over another roll: "This is 3000 million taels of silver, which is equivalent to 600 million shi of grain, please have a look at it, Your Majesty."
The princes were taken aback for a moment, Prince Xiao hurriedly got up and went to pick up the thing first, the four princes formed a group and looked at it together.
Shen Qihuai looked at it, and sneered again and again: "This roll of paper is worth 3000 million taels of silver? Is this king not awake, or is the Third Highness dreaming?"
Shen Guyuan smiled and said nothing, the autumn wind blew, and the snow-white hair brushed against his eyebrows, making the maid next to him lose his mind for a moment.
"Your Majesty!" After seeing the thing, the four princes all knelt down together: "Please return to Yuqing Hall quickly, Your Majesty, and call a group of ministers to discuss this matter together!"
The young master was startled and almost stood up from the dragon chair: "What's going on?"
Shen Qihuai also lowered his gaze, walked down the jade steps in three steps, took the long scroll in Prince Xiaoqin's hand, and unfolded it.
It turned out to be a corruption book!
"The biggest sum should be in the treasury of the Prince of Mercy's Mansion. There are a total of 500 million taels of silver." Shen Guyuan looked at him calmly and said, "I went to see it last night, and it was sealed well. Yes, the soil was also buried. The soil is new, and it must be the stolen silver that was delivered just this year."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Shen Qihuai tore up the long scroll, furious: "Shen Guyuan, you came to slander the king and important officials of the court because you urged the autumn harvest to be unfavorable?!"
The long scroll was filled with the names of officials and the amount of corruption, and there were even places where the stolen money was hidden.No need to look carefully, just by looking at the first name, Shen Qihuai knew that Shen Guyuan had really found out.
However, he won't recognize it, and it's impossible to recognize it.
"Whether it's slander or not, don't you know if you check it?" Shen Guyuan sneered, and looked up at him: "Or is it that the prince has a guilty conscience and dares not let people check it at all?"
Shen Qihuai looked at him angrily: "You!"
The sky turned gloomy in an instant, the young master on the dragon chair trembled, and grabbed the sleeve of the eunuch uneasily, and all the officials held their breaths and dared not speak out, looking in fear at Shen Qihuai who was on the jade steps full of anger.
The King of Mercy always had a smiling face, and it had been a long time since he was so angry.This face twisted up, it was really scary.
After a long time, Xu Zongzheng stood up and smoothed things over carefully: "These matters should be submitted to the Tingwei Mansion for investigation. There are too many people involved. I'm afraid..."
"It makes sense, it makes sense." Yang Tingwei also came out and said, "Let's leave it to the lower officials to file the case. Today is to inspect and accept the results of the Third Highness's supervision of the autumn harvest. This is far away."
"Why is this so far-fetched?" Shen Zhibai stood up and said righteously: "Collecting grain is collecting, and collecting embezzled money is not collecting? They are all things that the common people cultivated, and they should all be returned to the treasury. Shouldn't they be counted together?"
"Yes." Prince Xiao also nodded: "This is indeed the same thing, but this file is of great importance and involves a lot, and it may be more troublesome to check it."
"Even so, it should be considered that His Royal Highness has fulfilled his promise." Prince Jing helped: "These two things together are indeed twice the tax revenue of last year."
"But if you calculate it this way, doesn't it mean that the corruption of these officials is confirmed?" Taifu Xue frowned: "After all, this piece of paper has no evidence, it is really flimsy."
Especially the 500 million taels of the King of Compassion, if it is taken seriously, it is a big deal.
Shen Guyuan looked at Shen Qihuai, who stabbed at him like a sword with fierce eyes.
With a slight smile, Shen Guyuan brushed his robe, and said: "The four princes have always discussed important matters in the court, and the princes of pity are the masters, and the Holy Majesty will issue an order to spread the message. Today's matter should be the same, so I invite the princes to discuss with you." Mercy Wang Ye has worked harder."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was a little surprised.Among the people he sued, there was also the King of Compassion, and he even let the King of Compassion decide?
However, Shen Qihuai's face was even uglier, and the shredded paper in his hands had been crumpled into disfigurement.
For so many years, for the first time in the Shen royal family, there was an opponent that gave him a headache.
Good, very good!
"This king has a clear conscience. Since he has been accused for no reason, he must give an explanation." Throwing the shredded paper, Shen Qihuai sneered: "The Third Highness must have made some contributions to this autumn harvest, but the promise has not been fulfilled. It is not a loss. For the sake of justice, please ask the Third Highness to inspect the Tingwei Mansion and confiscate all the stolen money you think exists into the national treasury. Once the amount is reached, the Third Highness will be considered a winner."
"However, if one of the things written on it wronged someone else, it will be considered that His Highness has lost, how about it?"
