Uncle Nine

Chapter 100

"Master?" Xiangyi said, "Mr. Shen is not what he used to be. I'm afraid he won't come out to see you."

Liang Yiru reprimanded lightly, "What nonsense, brother Shen is definitely not such a person."

Just as he was talking, the voice came before the people arrived, "Brother Confucianism, why don't you come in, the right is your own home, you don't have to be so restrained." Shen Hao stepped out of the mansion quickly, and when he saw the servant at the door, his face darkened, " Those who don't have eyes can't see Mount Tai with eyes. Brother Yiru is my classmate and friend, how dare he be so negligent and stop people from the door. How unreasonable!"

The servant guarding the gate hurriedly knelt down, "Damn the slave, damn the slave!"

"It's okay, it's okay." Liang Yiru had something to do, and he couldn't stand such a delay, "Yiru came here today, and he really has something important to do. I wonder if you, brother Shen, can you—help?"

Shen Hao understood, and still kept a smile on his face, "Come on, come on in, if you have something to say, please go in here!"

Liang Yiru nodded, and followed Shen Hao to the study.

In the huge study room, there are brand-new books on the bookshelves, and there are many antique objects.Liang Yiru just glanced out of the corner of his eye, and didn't say much, he came for Xia Yu, and he didn't want to care about the rest.

Shen Hao was not in a hurry, ordered the maid to serve tea, then invited Liang Yiru to sit down, and said happily, "In the past, you always refused to invite Brother Yiru to come to the mansion for a gathering, but now you still come. By the way, I saw a An authentic work of Master Wu's "Hundred Chrysanthemums", you are quite accomplished in calligraphy and painting. You are here today, just to check with me to see if it is real."

After all, Shen Hao went to fetch the "Picture of Hundred Chrysanthemums" with great interest, and carefully spread it out on the table, "Look, this painting of chrysanthemums is lifelike. chrysanthemum."

Liang Yiru nodded, his face still extremely calm. He lowered his eyebrows and looked at the picture of chrysanthemums. He gently stroked a chrysanthemum on the picture of chrysanthemums with his fingertips. The master's chrysanthemums are painted with softness, but this painting is still rigid. The chrysanthemums are too proud to bloom, which is counterproductive and conceals the gentleman's demeanor of the chrysanthemums."

"So?" Shen Hao frowned displeased.

Liang Yiru smiled, "Actually, even if this painting is not the authentic work of Master Wu, it is still a good painting if you look at the exquisite workmanship."

Shen Hao paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "After all, he is a son of an official family, and he can tell the truth from the fake at a glance."

"Xianyi, bring the things." Liang Yiru said.

Xiangyi hesitated for a moment, and reluctantly handed the scroll to Liang Yiru.

Carefully spread out the scroll, a good picture of "A Thousand Years of Mountains and Rivers", spread the scroll, and instantly see the majestic atmosphere of the world's rivers and mountains.Between the mountains and rivers, there is a momentum of thousands of years, with mountains and rivers, and the sun is rising.The mist is lingering, and at a glance, it is as if you are in it, and you are shocked by the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers.

"This is—" Shen Hao's eyes lit up.

"A picture of mountains and rivers for thousands of years." Liang Yiru replied with a smile.

Shen Hao's fingertips lightly brushed across the painting, fearing that a little force would destroy this precious and famous painting.A pair of eyes stared straight at the landscape and the rising sun in the painting. At that moment, Liang Yiru frowned slightly.

As if aware of his gaffe, Shen Hao immediately restrained his face, raised his head and smiled, "I've heard about the great name for a long time, but now I see it, it's really amazing. Brother Confucian has such a treasure, it's really enviable."

"Brother Shen and I have a deep friendship, this painting should be a gift." Liang Yiru smiled calmly, as if this precious bump was nothing more than a piece of paper to him.

Shen Hao was stunned, "How can Shen accept such a precious thing? It is impossible!"

"It's just a painting. Compared with friendship, it's really nothing." Liang Yiru hesitated, "It's just—"

Shen Hao sat down, "Brother Yi Confucian seems to have something embarrassing, you might as well tell me. Although I don't hold any great power, I am still a servant of the Ministry of Punishment, and I can still talk about some things."

Liang Yiru nodded, "Actually, I came here for Ah Yu. Brother Shen should know that Ah Yu and I grew up together and came to the capital together. She has a quick temper but a kind heart. trick."

"I know this." Shen Hao said, "What happened to her?"

"Last night, a letter was sent saying that I committed a crime and entered the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I don't know what the situation is now." Liang Yiru sighed softly, "When I heard the news, I didn't even have time to go to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, so I came directly to Brother Shen Thinking about Brother Shen is doing justice to others, so——I hope Brother Shen will forgive me for being abrupt. I really have no choice on my side, and I really have nowhere to go."

Shen Hao's hand slowly touched the scroll of "A Thousand Years of Mountains and Rivers", "What crime did you commit?"

"Say yes—" Liang Yiru bowed his head, "Kill someone."

After the sound fell, Shen Hao's finger touching the scroll suddenly flicked, "Kill someone? Will she kill someone?"

Liang Yiru shook his head, "I don't believe it."

"I don't believe it either." Shen Hao got up, his face darkened, "Don't worry, I will personally intervene in this matter. At the other end of the criminal department, I will go to say hello and try to avoid using torture on her. But murder is a felony after all. I don't know whose hands this case will fall into."

"With Brother Shen's words, Yiru feels at ease." Liang Yiru stood up and bowed in salute.

Shen Hao hurriedly said, "Brother Confucianism, why should you be so polite? We are our own people, why are we so outsiders?"

Liang Yiru straightened up, "Brother Shen, can you do me a favor and let me see Ah Yu?"

Shen Hao was in a dilemma, "It stands to reason that she has committed a capital crime, and she will only see her family members after she signs and pledges, so—" He frowned, as if he had made up his mind, "I will accompany you to the Ministry of Punishment and do my best. !"

"Thank you!" Liang Yiru felt relieved.

Shen Hao said, "I'll tidy up and change my clothes, you go to the door and wait for me."

Liang Yiru nodded, "Okay."

Walking in the corridor of Shen's mansion, Xiangyi was dejected, "Young master just sent the things out like this?"

"Why do you still say such things?" Liang Yiru paused, turned his head and glared at Xiangyi, "No matter how precious a painting is, how can human life be important? Paintings are dead, but people are alive. Is it possible that I ignore it and let it go Does the rain fend for itself?"

Xiangyi shook his head, "I don't mean that, I just feel sorry for the young master. That painting is the young master's favorite."

"Favorite?" Liang Yiru took a deep breath and continued walking.

Suddenly, he saw someone running in the opposite corridor, as if something happened.

"My lord, what's the matter?" Xiangyi asked.

Liang Yiru frowned, "Don't worry about your own business, let's go."

Xiangyi nodded and continued to follow behind.

It was none other than Xu Fu who came.

Xu Fu walked quickly to Shen Hao's room, knocked on the door outside, and only stepped into the door after getting Shen Hao's consent, "My lord."

The maids were helping Shen Hao take off his coat, when they saw Xu Fu enter the door, they immediately retreated from everyone, "How?"

"This case is now being taken over by Mr. Shangshu himself, and others may not be able to intervene in this matter. And—" Xu Fu stepped forward and lowered his voice, "Master Shangshu has decided to merge this case into the earlier case of the missing girl. One case will be dealt with together. If my lord intervenes now, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Lord Shang Shu to explain."

Shen Hao nodded, "One is Xia Yu and the other is Shangshu, which one is more important should be weighed and weighed."

Xu Fu said, "Isn't there Prince Rui on the other side of Xia Yu? Prince Rui will definitely intervene. At that time, the prince will be more serious with Lord Shang Shu. If you also get involved, my lord, I'm afraid you will become a thorn in Lord Shang Shu's eyes."

"That's right." Shen Hao narrowed his eyes, "Thanks to the King Regent's trust, how can I let him down."

He was transferred from the Minister of the Ministry of War to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Seeing that he was promoted at every step, if it was because of Xia Yu that he helped Prince Rui a lot, the future of the Prince Regent's House—won't he have to deal with himself?

In the eyes of outsiders, Shen Hao is still considered neutral, and helping Xia Yu undoubtedly confirmed his camp.

The regent, Dongfang Yue, is decisive in killing and killing without blinking an eye. If Dongfang Yue is unhappy, let alone his black hat, even his life will be reimbursed.In this way, is it not worth the loss?

For the sake of a painting, I set my own future——

"My lord, now Master Liang is waiting outside, what should we do?" Xu Fu stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

Shen Hao frowned slightly, "See, it's natural to let them meet, otherwise, wouldn't it be that I was dishonest in this matter? Of course I want to help, but I have to help only in moderation, otherwise my future will be ruined here." He rolled his eyes coldly, "We must think of a way to get the best of both worlds."

Xu Fu nodded, "Sir, you need to think carefully."

Taking a deep breath, Shen Hao walked slowly towards the door.Liang Yiru was already waiting by the carriage, Shen Hao smiled, and hurried up to meet him, "Let's go now!"

Xu Fu stepped forward, "My lord, Lord Shangshu is here to invite you, don't you——if you keep Lord Shangshu waiting for a long time, I'm afraid it will inevitably be reprimanded."

"Brother Yiru is here to accompany you, Lord Shangshu. I'll go there soon after I'm done with Brother Yiru." Shen Hao smiled.

Liang Yiru's eyes were slightly clouded, "Brother Shen doesn't have to be like this. Since Lord Shangshu invited you, there is naturally something important to discuss. I'll just go and wait outside the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. There is no need to delay Brother Shen's time."

Shen Hao frowned, with a troubled expression on his face, "How about this, Xu Fu, you go to the prison to say hello, and let Brother Yi Confu go in first. I'll go to Master Shangshu first to see what's going on. If there's time, I'll go there again The prison will join you. If it’s too late, brother Yiru—let’s talk about it next time. How about it?”

"Alright." Liang Yiru nodded, and got into the car without hesitation.

Shen Hao gave Xu Fu a wink, and Xu Fu followed Liang Yiru's carriage.

Behind the gate, Shen Xing stood silently, biting his lips in extreme displeasure.
