Uncle Nine

Chapter 109 Half a jade pendant
Shen Hao turned cold, "What nonsense? What do you know at such a young age? What is heartless? If I don't climb up, I will be trampled underfoot sooner or later. If you want to be a minister, how can you just watch the ducks fly away. If I can't be an official, what enjoyment do you have? Your current status and status are all given to me! I earned it all , do you understand?"

"Mother once said that being poor is to be so poor that you have a backbone. Even if you become rich in the future, you must not forget your duty as a human being. Some money should not belong to us, so we can't take any of it. Sister Xia Yu has been kind to me. , if it wasn't for her, I would have died on the street. Last time she saved me regardless of her life, have you forgotten?" Shen Xing raised her head stubbornly, "Brother!"

"Xinger." Shen Hao changed his tone, squatted down, and put his hands on his sister's shoulders, "Brother did this just to make our life easier. You only know the difficulties of Xia Yu and Brother Liang, but Do you understand my brother's difficulties? My brother has no other choice."

Shen Xing fixedly looked at Shen Hao who was squatting in front of him with a gloomy expression, "Brother, why don't we go home! Since it's difficult, we won't be this official. I can wash and cook, and I can take care of myself."

"My brother can do nothing but write articles. My brother also wants to save some dowry for you. When you grow up, you can get married in a good manner." Shen Hao hugged his sister with a smile, his voice choked, "Mother asked my brother to take good care of you before she died. We have no other relatives, only each other. If you don't even understand brother, then what's the point of me being an official?"

"Brother, I want to go home, I miss my mother." Shen Xing cried out, "Brother, I want to go home."

With red eyes, Shen Hao wiped away the tears from his younger sister's face, "Brother promises you, I will take you home after a while."

Shen Xing nodded fiercely, "Is it okay, don't hurt sister Xia Yu?"

"Silly girl, your elder sister Xia Yu is in prison now, if I'm really so cruel, can she still live?" Shen Hao sighed softly, "Xu Fu is not one of us, what my brother said is just to fool Xu Fu. You know, he is someone else's spy, and he came to spy on us on purpose, so—brother had to say that. Silly girl, why don't you even believe me? "

Shen Xing was startled, "Brother?"

"Brother Xia Yu and Yiru have helped us, and we must not be ungrateful. In fact, my brother has sent someone to investigate sister Xia Yu's case. When the truth comes out, Xia Yu will come out safe and sound." Shen Hao said coolly. smile.

"Really?" Shen Xing smiled through tears, "Brother is so kind."

Shen Hao nodded, and scratched her nose lovingly, "However, Xing'er must promise me that you are not allowed to cause trouble before this matter is over. This matter is no small matter, and if something goes wrong, my brother will not be able to protect you." Just stay calm and wait for the good news at home."

Shen Xing nodded again and again, "Okay, I will listen to my brother."

"As long as Xing'er believes in me, it's worth more than any high-ranking official." Shen Hao got up, his eyes flashed coldly.

Shen Xing turned to leave, but he didn't realize that Shen Hao behind him had already changed his expression.A face, extremely dark and extremely cold.conscience?When he was humbled and despised by others, where was the conscience of those people?When he has nothing and is cast aside as useless by others, where is the conscience of those people?

In this world, where the weak and the strong prey on the strong, how can there be fairness and justice?

Suddenly being high above and being overlooked by others, the feeling of being superior to others is so wonderful and difficult to give up.Even though he knew that the people around him were just flatterers, he felt that those words were still particularly pleasant to the ear.

Now that he is a master, how can he fall down from the altar again and become a slave.

What Shen Hao hated the most were those who were born to enjoy all the glory and wealth.Why are they also human beings, but they were born with a golden spoon in their mouths, and they themselves—humble as an ant, have been trampled upon since childhood.

But Liang Yiru never had such an idea.

Even though he was born in a family of officials and eunuchs, he didn't have the slightest air of being superior to others.Whether he was at home in Daizhou Mansion or away from home, he only remembered that he was dressed in white and a Confucian scholar.

Now he is running around for Xia Yu's affairs, and he has never used his identity to overwhelm anyone from the beginning to the end.

The master and servant sat under the tree to rest, Xiangyi handed over the water bottle, "Master, drink some water!"

Liang Yiru wiped off the sweat from his forehead, took a sip from the water bottle, "Xianyi, drink some too."

Xiangyi nodded, "My lord, we've traveled all over this area, and we all said we've never seen Miss Xia, so we can't seem to find any clues."

"People are caught here, and it's impossible to do it seamlessly. Let's search carefully, but we can't find any trace of Ah Yu. It would be good if someone can see the whereabouts of the deceased." Liang Yiru looked around, and they were all homestays. .

On that day, Xia Yu was framed for murder here, and got the stolen goods.

Many people saw the scene at that time, but Liang Yiru asked, but no one saw the incident.What he said was just an afterthought, and it was of no benefit to clearing up Xia Yu's grievances.

Xiangyi packed up the water bottle and helped Liang Yiru stand up, "But if you go on searching without a clue like this, do you want to find the Year of the Monkey?"

"No matter how difficult it is, I have to find it." Liang Yiru lowered his head and sighed softly, "Who made her Xia Yu!"

Xiangyi shook her head helplessly.

Really unable to find a clue, Liang Yiru decided to go to Shen Hao to see the autopsy report written by Wu.He was walking in the Wenhua Palace, so he had no access to the documents of the Ministry of Punishment, so——Shen Hao, as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, was naturally more convenient.

"Young master even sent out the "A Thousand Autumn Mountains and Rivers Picture" last time, and I didn't see him doing anything. What else are you going to give away? The master gave it to me. It's just these few treasures. Don't give me any more, sir." Xiangyi muttered.

Liang Yiru paused, "Money is something outside of the body——"

"But what the master gave is not considered a possession." Xiangyi retorted, "If the master finds out in the future, it would be strange if he thought the slave didn't stop him and didn't break his leg."

"As long as there is anything, I will take care of it." Liang Yiru glanced at him, "When did this mouth become so trivial, and it never stops for a moment. My father is in the capital of Daizhou and has no control over the affairs of the capital. If he knows that I send this thing He went out to save people, even if he feels distressed, he will not blame him easily."

Xiangyi bowed her head and remained silent.

Suddenly, Xiangyi paused and thought, why didn't the young master leave?
When he looked up, he saw a familiar figure not far away.

"That's not the slave next to Mr. Huang. What's his name—Shunzi?" Xiangyi frowned, and turned to look at Liang Yiru's thoughtful expression, puzzled, "Master? What's wrong with you, Mr. By the way, Mr. Huang and you guys?" He's sworn brother, isn't he just working in the palace? If we can let Mr. Huang get away with it, maybe it will get twice the result with half the effort."

"Although we are sworn brothers, we just met once after all. We don't have much real friendship, and I don't know if he is willing to help." Liang Yiru has always been cautious in handling affairs.After thinking for a while, he took out half of the jade pendant in his arms.This was the day when Zhao Lu broke the gift to Liang Yiru and Xia Yu when they were sworn brothers.

Xiangyi was puzzled, "Young master, what's wrong?"

Liang Yiru leaned into Xiangyi's ear, whispered a few words, Xiangyi nodded heavily, took half of the jade pendant from Liang Yiru's hand, and ran away quickly.

I hope that the people in the world are not as cold as the place, and there is still affection.

Shunzi picked out a few rather innovative wooden objects, and then sat down at the noodle stall on the side.It's not too late to go back to the palace after eating the noodles.

"Guest officer, your noodles." The boss served a bowl of hot noodles.

Shunzi picked up the chopsticks and ate them with relish, but he saw the things in the hands of the next table at a glance.

Sitting at the next table was a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance, but judging by his clothes, he should be considered a little rich.He played with the half piece of jade pendant in his hand with great interest, and from time to time put it under the sun to shine it, checking the quality of the jade seriously.

After chewing the noodles in his mouth, Shunzi felt strange.Take a closer look, isn't that the emperor's thing?He waited in front of the emperor, and he was most familiar with the emperor's belongings.At that time, the emperor rewarded two ordinary people with this object, and called them brothers and sisters.

How could this object—fall into someone else's hands?

Quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, Shunzi stepped forward in three steps at a time, "Dare to ask this master, where did the things in your hand come from?"

"Why, do you like it?" The man looked up.

Shunzi smiled, "Yes, yes, my master likes to collect jade the most. I think yours is crystal clear, and it is the best. If you dare to ask this master, where can I buy such a good thing, I can go there Buy one for my master."

The man laughed loudly, "I can't buy it even if I have money. I got it from a pawn shop. I don't know who knows how to pawn off such a good thing. It's a pity. Fortunately, I met it. I bought it."

Hearing this, Shunzi was shocked, "Pawn shop?"

"Yeah, I bought it from a pawnshop, what's the matter?" The man frowned.

Shunzi smiled and said, "I wonder if you can part with me, and give this to me, it doesn't matter how much it costs."

The man hesitated, "Why should I give you such a good thing?"

Hearing this, Shunzi hastily took out two bank notes from his bosom, "My master also had a piece like this earlier, I think it looks like a pair with the one in your hand, if you can really match it, it can be considered fate. "

"A pair?" The man looked carefully at the jade pendant in his hand, "It seems that there should be a other half."
