Hypocrites

"Quick!"

Song Jun and Liang Heng dragged Shen Yu to the couch, and the long-term worker of the family had already rushed to the medical clinic to ask for a doctor. Shen Jin was anxious and at a loss: "Well, how did this happen?"

Liang Heng hesitated: "We...we went to Dongluli..."

Xinzhou said: "Ah, how could His Highness go to that kind of place."

"Dongluli?" Shen Jin came to Wangdu City for a spring and Autumn period and did not know this place yet.

"It's very chaotic, mixed with lowly people," Xinzhou said, "the southern army doesn't care about the boundaries."

Liang Heng said again: "Actually, um, it wasn't there, and later I went to the peach blossom forest in Nanlu..."

Shen Yu's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he interjected, "I fell in the woods and got scratched by a branch."

Liang Heng: "..."

Song Jun hastily took out a towel and applied it on Shen Yu's waist injury. Suddenly, Shen Yu felt a heat flow gathering and blood gushing out.

"Huh?" Song Jun was in a hurry, "I thought I needed hot compresses for injuries!"

Shen Yu rolled his eyes and passed out angrily.

When the doctor came, he lifted Shen Yu's clothes and took a look: "The branch can't make such a wound, it looks like a sharp object."

Facing Shen Jin's stern gaze, Shen Yu bit the bullet and said: "Small injury, small injury, just prescribe some golden medicine."

A prescription for oral administration and external application was prescribed, and the doctor was sent away.Liang Heng was also escorted back to the Chu Palace by Xinzhou. Everyone knew that they were playing off with their appearance. Xinzhou could not question Liang Heng like Shen Jin interrogated his son, but he was also worried about Liang Heng's safety.Sometimes Shen Yu felt that Xinzhou was like a big brother.

Song Jun applied the wound medicine to Shen Yu, and with a wink, he left the room, leaving the father and son alone.

However, Shen Jin did not speak, and the silence was unnerving.

Shen Yu had no choice but to speak first: "It's just a mistake."

Shen Jin frowned, and said for a moment: "By mistake, a dog raised in the cattle farm bit someone, and then by mistake, someone was slashed?"

It seems that the old man thought that he had sent someone to revenge on Niu Lu.Shen Yu then swallowed the matter about Qiu Qianli, not intending to make Shen Jin worry about it.What can Shen Jin do if even Liang Heng can't do anything about it?If you don't keep the title of the prince's junior teacher, you will lose the title of the prince's junior teacher, and you will become the fourth wife to be expelled from the palace.

Shen Jin did not pursue further.To be able to teach a son like Shen Yu, he himself is not a follower of the crowd.There must be consequences for doing something.

The next day, Shen Yu was wearing a bandage to attend school, smelling like medicine, and was ridiculed by Duan Yanling.

"A gentleman does something and doesn't do it. It seems that you are not very knowledgeable. No wonder the teacher is the father and not the son. How to put it, this is the end if you take care of things that should not be taken care of. If you learn a lesson, the injury will only be the same. On the waist, if you don’t learn smart, you should hurt your neck next time.”

Duan Yanling looked energetic, no different from usual.It seems that Qiu Qianli didn't become suspicious yesterday, he just thought that two "little sheep" escaped, and Duan Yanling hunted for his master, but he didn't catch up.I heard that I searched Nanluli a few times later, but because it was inconvenient to make a statement, it was nothing.

Shen Yu didn't bother to talk to him about this, he lost a lot of blood, so he had to use his energy carefully and carefully.

Liang Heng thought about it, and asked, "You should know Qiu Qianli better than me. Do you know what he usually does?"

Duan Yanling said: "Murder?"

Lian Zhen did not participate in the topic at all, but suddenly listened to it, and turned around in horror.Liang Heng turned his head back.

"Who asked you this? Are you stupid?" He still remembered being called a fool by Duan Yanling and Shen Yu yesterday, "I said where does he usually go and what does he do?"

Duan Yanling thought for a while: "I'm more familiar with you than you are, but I don't think I'm too familiar with it. It might be interesting for you to ask Niu Lu about this matter, but now that Niu Lu has met you, it's because enemies are so jealous, haha."

After getting Liang Heng's indifferent response, Duan Yanling spread his hands together: "Xie Ling Pavilion, I hope there is another place to go in the capital."

Even Qiu Qianli, who has a big house, a forest of flowers, and several hectares of land, would go to Xie Ling Pavilion when he is free to have fun.It can be seen that Lingguan is the heart of Wangducheng's prosperity.

"He went to Xie Ling Pavilion, he didn't fool around with you, so he has nothing to say." Liang Heng said.

Duan Yanling raised two fingers: "No and no. First, it's not you, it's us. Second, the nobles will meet in the Ling Pavilion for various reasons, and fooling around is just the most inconspicuous one."

As for the latter, Shen Yu had already experienced Deng Yang's treat last time.

Eating a meal in the Xie Ling Pavilion is more exciting than listening to the most secret storytelling.

"Recently, a lot of people have returned to the capital to report on their work. He may choose a time to go."

When Shen Yu heard the key point, he had a flash of inspiration——Qiu Qianli would meet with the officials who reported his duties in Xie Ling Pavilion, why?

"How do you know?" Liang Heng asked.

Duan Yanling smiled mysteriously.

Shen Yudao: "As long as the regular customers of Xie Ling Pavilion have enough ears, Wangducheng can't hide everything from the emperor's decisions to the chatter of traffickers and pawns."

Duan Yanling sneered: "What are ears, the position is the key."

He pointed to the top of his head: "If you sit in a good box, you can hear everything. If you have a good relationship with the store, you can connect with anyone."

Complacent, show-off lovers are well known.

Liang Heng immediately said: "Take us to hear what Qiu Qianli is talking about!"

Duan Yanling shook his head regretfully: "That won't work, cousin, cousin, I only have one head, and I don't dare to offend Zhiyuan."

Liang Heng threatened him: "Do you dare not follow? Qiu Zhiyuan is only a cavalry general, can I back you up?"

Duan Yanling had a good time, leaning behind the desk, looking at Liang Heng: "What can you do?"

Liang Heng thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he realized that what he could do was really limited.Neither can take away Qiu Zhiyuan's supernatural powers, nor can he overthrow Qiu Qianli's yard.

He angrily kicked away the desk and threw Duan Yanling down, strangling Duan Yanling's neck aggressively: "I'll strangle you first!"

"Hey, sweetheart, you're the one who throws himself into your arms." Duan Yanling was riding on him, feeling very contented, and he had time to raise his hand to touch his lower back.

"Will you go?" Liang Heng started to be fierce, not much more fierce than a dog who barks his teeth and claws.

Shen Yu had an inexplicable pantothenic acid, and lifted him from Duan Yanling's body.

Duan Yanling's clothes were disheveled, he leaned against the desk, and smiled leisurely: "Go, go."

Xie Ling Pavilion, osmanthus trees are planted on the shore of the lake in autumn, and willows are planted in spring.

Walking through the Banqiao, the maid who led the way had already recognized Duan Yanling, she was polite to Young Master Duan and the accompanying nobles, and led them to the top floor.

In the West City, this corner is the only one where towering duplex buildings stand.

When he got to the top floor, Shen Yu understood why Duan Yanling said that if he wanted to talk elegantly about the dark things with others, he had to choose the top floor. There are no people, and if you want to have a banquet on the top floor, you must book the entire floor.

In front of the wallboard where the scrolls of the ancient paintings were hung, Duan Yanling was familiar with the way. He reached into the back of the painting and pressed it.

The maid waited aside to restore the hanging paintings for them.

The dark room was actually not dark, and the windows were boldly opened, but the people in the building couldn't see it, and the people outside the building couldn't be counted.The room with a large capacity is hidden in such a majestic way.

There is a small table in the room, with three elbows, hot tea and ice cubes for the flagon.Everything is ready.

"You are so embarrassing," Liang Heng said in surprise, "When did you become so familiar with Xie Ling Pavilion?"

Duan Yanling leaned on his elbow, poured wine for Liang Heng, poured himself a drink, and sighed: "Money can turn a ghost, your brother and I have many benefits."

bullshit.

Shen Yu remained calm, but he knew in his heart that the relationship between Duan Yanling and Xie Lingguan could not be explained deeply.If everyone gave money and could come to the dark room and eavesdrop on the gossip of the rich and powerful, the museum would probably offend many people, even with the support of the emperor.

It's just that there are priorities, so there is no need to explore it for the time being.

The day Duan Yanling chose was the day when he got Yinzi the news that Qiu Qianli was going to treat guests on the top floor.

The half pot of tea was not finished yet, when someone came, and through a hollow wall, came Qiu Qianli's voice:

"Speak up if you have something to say, there is no need to waste time."

The tone was very negligent.

Then the pipa began to play, a melodious and melodious piece of spring in the painting hall, gently and slowly, covering the conversation in the hall intermittently.

"...A small thing is not a respect... If you want to seek merit and praise, return to the king's city to take up a job, the great kindness will never be forgotten..."

Liang Heng mouthed: "Ask for credit? What kind of credit do you want?"

Shen Yu dipped his hands in the tea and wrote two words on the table - "Chou Gong".

Quiet over there.The song is over.

Duan Yanling guessed that the person had already left, so he said: "After the three-year expatriate period expires, if you return to the capital to report on your duties, you will not be able to see Your Majesty unless you first pass the test of the three generals in the doctor's office."

Liang Heng was silent.

Neither he nor Shen Yu was surprised by this matter.The emperor was lingering on the sick bed, and the three floors inside and outside the palace were guarded by people from Qiu Zhiyuan, Niu Shida and Tong Fang.

But after a while, the music started again.

Qiu Qianli went and came back again, this time with someone else.

"Only with an adult guarding the royal city, Duke Qiu can feel at ease. Your Excellency has done a lot of hard work." Qiu Qianli was much more polite.

The man said: "...Chou Gong never sees me in person, and you always have to pass orders."

Duan Yanling's expression suddenly became serious, and he frowned, as if thinking of someone.

"As usual...the one who respects Qiu Gong is indispensable, so I will hand it over to you."

The two exchanged cups and glasses without talking about anything else, and broke up again after a few songs.

This time Qiu Qianli went away and never returned, ending today's meeting with people.

Shen Yu asked Duan Yanling, "Have you heard who that is?"

Duan Yanling glanced at Liang Heng and said, "I seem to have heard it somewhere, but I can't remember."

Liang Heng said: "Could it be that the people who are guarding the royal city outside are from the Southern Army?"

Duan Yanling said sincerely: "I really can't think of it. But Qiu Zhiyuan, as a cavalier general, is directly in charge of the Southern Army, so if people in the army want to see him, there is no need to shy away from it."

"It's okay," Shen Yu sneered, "Forget it if you don't remember it. If you get the bribery account book, no one can escape."

Duan Yanling was startled, he looked like a fool: "Who accepts bribes and will record them truthfully?"

Shen Yudao: "That's not good. A bribe is a transaction, and every sum has to be settled. What's more, he took it for Qiu Zhiyuan. If he didn't record clearly who gave how much, what official position he took, and what he asked for, it was delayed. What about Qiu Gong?"

Duan Yanling still felt weird.

Liang Heng was with Shen Yu, no matter what Shen Yu said, he would agree.

"Go to his house and check the bottom and bottom of the sky. If there is any account book, you can find out as soon as you check."

Duan Yanling showed an expression as if he had eaten a rotten egg: "Do you want to play the role of a snitch to experience life? There are swordsmen."

"That's why someone has to hold back Qiu Qianli and the servants of the mansion to buy time." Shen Yu said.

Liang Heng cooperated: "But who has such a big face?"

He was quite worried, thinking seriously, but he didn't see Duan Yanling and Shen Yu staring at him.

"Brother," Duan Yanling said pitifully, "you have been betrayed again."

Out of cherishing his reputation and life, Duan Yanling firmly refused to go with them.

Leaving Xie Ling Pavilion, the maid escorted her across the bridge.Duan Yanling recalled the musician playing the pipa on the top floor, he thought the tune was very beautiful, and he would like to try it next time he came.

The maid said: "It has been bought by Qiu Yuancheng."

The faces of the three of them suddenly became pale.Liang Heng only said that Qiu Qianli had a eccentric habit, he only picked out beautiful boys and girls, and tortured them to death.Shen Yu and Duan Yanling thought that at that time, Qiu Qianli at the top was meeting with people, only musicians were present, unexpectedly, Qiu Qianli would not let go of one ear.

That being the case, if Qiu Qianli knew that the three of them were also eavesdropping, he would not be able to use any means to deal with it.I only hope that Liang Heng's seemingly useless prince status will make him feel more or less scruples.
