Prince! The political conspiracy is not a play, the show is real

After hearing Song Zhishou's words, Shi Yiqian's face suddenly brightened and he said, "Master Song, please be kind. Then my little daughter..."

Song Zhishou seemed to be able to guess what Shi Yiqian wanted to say, and interrupted him firmly, "Although we can't jump to conclusions now, the Second Miss Shi is also under suspicion, and so is your entire Shi Mansion.

However, since you personally brought the suspect to the yamen, it is a meritorious deed. So, from now on, Miss Shi will be detained here. General Shi, thank you for your trouble and return to the mansion with your family for the time being. Once the turmoil of this case has passed, you can come out and act again."

The implication is that Tao Yao will be imprisoned, and Shi Fu will also be placed under house arrest for a period of time.

Logically speaking, Song Zhishou does not have the right to place Shi Yiqian under house arrest. The fact that he can say such words now simply means that he has a bigger backer behind him.

Shi Yiqian swallowed Song Zhishou's words and digested them several times. He seemed to understand the meaning and replied tactfully, "Master Song, please understand. As for the Shi Mansion, we will follow your instructions. As for my daughter... I'll trouble you to take care of her."

Shi Yiqian suddenly realized that he was a father, and Tao Yao couldn't help but feel a little touched. Although all that Shi Yiqian did was more for the Shi family and for himself.

If Tao Yao is indeed the murderer, the reputation of the entire Shi Mansion will be ruined, and Shi Yiqian's future career will be difficult.

Song Zhishou nodded politely and ordered several yamen runners to come and see the guests off.

Tao Yao watched the group leave and stood alone on the cornfield. The golden afterglow of the setting sun fell on her body, and a long-lost warmth rose in her heart.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, fortunately she was lucky to have met a good official, Lord Song, who would definitely be able to clear her name.

A moment later, Song Zhishou returned carrying a wine gourd. Seeing Tao Yao still standing there in a daze, he couldn't help but laugh. He walked over quickly, raised the wine gourd in his hand in front of her, and shook it: "This is the new pear blossom wine. Do you want to try it?"

Tao Yao felt strange and blinked in confusion. She asked, "Uh... that... Lord Song, shouldn't you arrest me and put me in jail now?"

Song Zhishou laughed out loud at Tao Yao's serious questioning. He picked up the wine gourd, tilted his neck back and took a few swigs. It was obvious that the pear blossom wine was refreshing and sweet. He drank it with great enjoyment and showed a mellow smile from the heart.

"That's right, you're locked up now!" Song Zhishou said with a smile, pointing to the cornfield, golden and fragrant from the sun. The sunset was beautiful, its fiery red glow enveloping the entire courtyard. Tao Yao smelled the fragrance of the pear blossom wine in Song Zhishou's wine gourd and felt a little drunk.

The sky and the earth were a deep red, and the golden setting sun hanging on the horizon, about to fall, looked like a hot and runny duck egg yolk.

Somehow, Tao Yao suddenly thought of Chu Huanjun, wondering what this evil man was doing at the moment.

If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have been caught here for no reason, becoming a murderer for no apparent reason, and watching the sunset on the cornfield with a strange adult.

"Here?" Tao Yao continued to ask, "You mean, just lock me up here?"

"Yes." Song Zhishou picked up the wine gourd and drank from it. "Then where do you want to go?"

Tao Yao was filled with doubts. Could this be another of Chu Huanjun's ideas? She was contemplating how to ask Song Zhishou if he knew Chu Huanjun, and then follow the clues to learn the whole story.

Unfortunately, Song Zhishou didn't give her this opportunity. He shut her up with one sentence: "Look here, you can bask in the sun, eat corn, and play with kittens. Isn't it better than this cold and damp dungeon?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he deftly untied the hemp rope that the two strong men had tied on her hands, and a soft package was stuffed into his palm.

Tao Yao's heart moved, and he opened his palm to take a look. The package actually contained five or six pieces of emerald green and crystal Longjing tea cakes, which were still emitting a little steam - they were fresh, just out of the oven.

Tao Yao understood instantly and was about to say something, but swallowed it back into her stomach.

Song Zhishou saw through her hesitation and said, "Someone asked me to pass a message to you, asking you to stay here peacefully for the next few days. If you need anything for food or clothing, just let me know. Don't worry about other things, someone will take care of it."

Tao Yao held the cloth package filled with Longjing tea cakes in her hand, feeling a mixture of emotions as if a bottle of seasoning had been overturned in her heart.

It was indeed Chu Huanjun, this evil villain who did all kinds of evil. Everything was just his plan. He played her around and made her unable to sleep or eat day and night. Now he came with a hypocritical expression of concern. Did he think she would be happy to accept it?

Tao Yao became angrier the more she thought about it. She simply threw the cloth package into Song Zhishou's arms and said angrily, "I hate eating Longjing tea cakes the most. Sir Song, please eat them for me."

As straightforward as Song Zhishou was, he had no idea where Tao Yao's anger came from, and hurriedly stuffed the cloth package back into her hands: "This was given to you by someone else, how can I take it?"

Tao Yao didn't want to take the package back, so she pushed it away in a hurry. Song Zhishou didn't have time to catch it, and the package fell to the ground.

The package, filled with Longjing tea cakes, scattered all over the floor, crumbling into mud. Several raccoons came over after hearing the noise, and gathered around the broken pieces of Longjing tea cakes, sniffing them again and again.

Perhaps out of the instinct to cherish food, Tao Yao suddenly felt a little pain and guilt in her heart. She squatted down, carefully picked up the scattered Longjing tea cakes on the ground, put them in her palm, and used them to feed these greedy raccoons.

When Song Zhishou saw this scene, his heart softened as he also squatted down to feed the cat with Tao Yao.

The glow of the setting sun shone on Taoyao's profile, as if it was coated with a layer of gold. The fine hairs became translucent in the golden light, like an unripe pink peach, or a soft cat.

She is feeding the cat and she acts like a cat.

The cornfield was silent, save for the sound of a few kittens licking their pastries. The breeze blew their hair and the kittens' fur, which had been fluffed and softened by the sun.

After a long silence, Tao Yao's hoarse voice interrupted the silence: "Sir Song, what are you going to do about Zhou Yan's case?"

Song Zhishou had anticipated her question, so he had prepared a response in his mind and quickly replied, "This case happened suddenly, and it happened during the Lantern Festival, which is a special time. The people of the capital are very concerned.

Besides, this case involves many people. Even though Zhou Yan's family is anxious, the government must collect evidence piece by piece and slowly. We cannot rush to close the case. We must be extremely cautious and give an explanation to Zhou Yan's family and the people."

Tao Yao could tell that Song Zhishou had been talking seriously for a long time, but it was all empty talk and nothing real.
