Shen Langgui

Changchun Hall, Shen Chao has been wandering here for a long time.Finally, a figure in scarlet robe appeared at the gate of the hall, Shen Chao hurriedly climbed up the white marble steps, and asked, "Xiantao Gong..." Before he could finish addressing, the scarlet robe figure hurriedly put his middle finger in front of his lips, and pushed Shen Chao. Super down the ladder.

Xian Tao didn't speak until he pushed Shen Chao away from the palace gate, but still lowered his voice: "Shen Shilang, the emperor is still in a rage, pleading at this time is like adding fuel to the flames, let's talk about it in a few days." .”

It was rare for Shen Chao not to listen to the persuasion, so he grabbed Xiantao's sleeve and begged, "In the name of deceiving the emperor, my brother may not escape the death penalty this time. It's just that before the trial in Dali Temple, I want to ask why my brother chose to feign death and abscond." Return to Beijing."

Xian Tao shook his head: "Second Master, you don't know how heartbroken Master was when he learned of General Shen's death. And General Shen escaped without incident under the eyes of the emperor. If it were you, wouldn't you be in a hurry? Let's wait and see Lord, I am considerate." Seeing that Shen Chao was frowning, Xian Tao glanced at the door of the palace, covered his mouth with his hands and approached, "According to what this servant heard, the master bumped into General Shen at the mansion of Mr. Qiu, the director of the Weaving Bureau. Go ask Mr. Qiu about the situation?"

Shen Chao weighed things up a bit, bowed to Xiantao, and said, "Thank you, father-in-law, for your suggestion."

Just after leaving the gate of Yonghe, Shen Chao saw Dashun rushing over.After a distance, Dashun shouted, "Second Master, how are you doing?"

Shen Chao shook his head.Dashun was so anxious that tears were about to come out: "Then what should I do!? It's so easy to know that Master Shen is not dead..." After speaking, his voice was already choked up.

Shen Chao patted Dashun on the head: "As long as it's still before the trial, we can't give up." Dashun raised his head, fixedly looked at the second master who was as firm as ever, and gradually stopped crying, raised his elbow to wipe away his tears, and said: "Yes, what's the use of crying, what matters is trying to find a way."

Shen Chao walked towards the carriage, and ordered: "Go to the Qiu Mansion in the eastern suburbs."

Dashun was stunned: "Qiu Mansion?" Turning his eyes, he remembered again, "Oh, good."

At noon, Aunt Yin changed the medicine for Xunhe's injured leg, and Yinzhang brought in the meal. While arranging the bowls and chopsticks, she said, "May season, mandarin fish is fat. I picked the freshest one this morning and asked Liu Er to kill it." , season and steam it yourself, young master, you can’t live up to my will,” he said, offering the chopsticks to Xun He, “You have to eat two rice bowls.”

Xun He took it with a wry smile: "I will do my best."

The introduction was dissatisfied: "Young master, what is your expression? It is harder to get you to eat than to beheaded!?"

Xun He waved his hand: "No, no, I'll eat, I'll just eat it..." Looking at the introduction, which was still frowning, Xun He hurriedly grabbed the fish meat with his chopsticks, "Can I eat it?"

Aunt Yin covered her mouth happily behind her back, winked silently at Yinzhang, and gloated with her mouth: "Tell him to toast and not to eat fine wine, he should be punished!"

Yinzhang saw that Xun He swallowed a few mouthfuls of food before going out, but returned after a while, with a very embarrassed expression on his face.

Xun He asked, "What's wrong?"

"Second Master, please see me..."

There are so many "Second Masters" in the world, but Citing Zhang will call them "Second Masters", who else but Shen Chao. "Why did he come? I'll go out and have a look." Xun He was about to get up, Yinzhang quickly pushed him down, "My lord, your legs and feet are inconvenient, I'll just invite him in."

Suddenly, people were brought.The last time I saw Shen Chao, he described it as haggard, but this time, anxiety was added to the haggard.Xun He got up to greet him: "Second Master, why do you visit in person?"

Hearing this, Shen Chao was surprised: "Brother was taken away from your house, didn't you know?"

Xun He understood the meaning of Shen Chao's words, couldn't help but widen his eyes, and only focused on the most important point: "Master, he is not dead?!" After thinking about it, he was even more shocked, "You mean...Master Shen is hiding in the In my house?" Xun He looked at Yin Zhang and Aunt Yin, but both of them looked away.

Shen Chao had no choice but to explain: "I also heard from Eunuch Tao Xian that the emperor came out of your mansion the day before yesterday and bumped into my elder brother. Longyan was furious and immediately asked the guards to take him away, so I asked you about the situation."

Xun He suddenly remembered the strange expression on the face of Yin Zhang who sent Emperor Cheng back that day, and suddenly understood a little, so he asked Yin Zhang in a deep voice: "What did you hide from me!"

It is rare for Xun He to be angry, Yin Zhang flinched immediately, and stammered: "On the day the young master fell into the water, I only found out that Master Shen was hiding in the mansion. Unexpectedly, Emperor Cheng would arrest him the next day. I... I am also afraid that the young master will be sad." , to hide it."

Xun He scolded angrily: "Human life is at stake! How can you hide such a thing!" Then he asked Shen Chao, "What's the situation now?"

Shen Chao smiled wryly: "The emperor regards my elder brother as his arm. He was very sad when he heard the news of his death, so he personally arranged a national ceremony for his funeral. Unexpectedly, elder brother... Hey, I have searched all over for the relationship, but nothing came to fruition. The emperor is still furious and instructed Dali Temple will punish you severely, I'm afraid...I'm afraid that big brother will die this time..."

Xun He frowned, and asked Yin Zhang: "Why did Master Shen hide in my house?"

Aunt Yin stood up and blocked Yinzhang behind her: "Xiaoqiu, don't blame Yinzhang, it was my idea to take Shen Yue in."

Just now I was in a hurry and didn't look carefully at the people in the room, but now that Aunt Yin stood up, Shen Chao couldn't help opening his eyes, pointing at the woman: "You... aren't you?..."

Aunt Yin was generous: "Why, we haven't seen each other for six years, Second Lord doesn't recognize Yin's?"

After all, there were more important things, Shen Chao didn't want to delay on these trivial things, he clasped his fists to Aunt Yin, then made a 'please' gesture and said: "It's just a surprise, it's good that you are fine, let's continue talking."

Aunt Yin withdrew her gaze, and said to Xun He: "Shen Yue knows what you did for them after you ransacked the Shen Manor's house. So, he wants to repay the favor..."

"So he faked his death and hid in my house?" Xun He knew Shen Yue's aggressiveness better than anyone else, and Aunt Yin's words only made him feel unreasonable!

Aunt Yin waved her hand: "It's not entirely true. It is a fact that Shen Yue narrowly escaped death, but he fell behind when he came back alive. When he returned to Beidu, he happened to see his coffin entering the city, so he decided to use his plan and feign death to repay his kindness."

Everyone mourned.

"In this way, elder brother is justifiable, and he didn't intend to deceive the emperor. But the emperor doesn't see me, so how can I report this situation!"

Xun He thought about the balance, and told Yin Zhang: "Bring me the iron coupon of the alchemy book rewarded by the emperor."

"What?!" Yin Zhang was shocked.

Shen Chao was also stunned: "Do you have the iron coupon of the Dan book?"

Aunt Yin turned pale with fright: "You want to use the order to avoid death on Shen Yue?!"

Xun He turned a deaf ear to the uproar, his voice was still firm, and he ordered Yin Zhang: "Let's go soon."

After taking the iron coupon of the Danshu, Xunhe Shen Chao went straight to the palace.In desperation, Xun He even forgot to bring his crutches, so he had to be supported by Shen Chao all the way to Changchun Hall.

Xian Tao knows that Xun He is a celebrity in front of Emperor Cheng recently, and seeing Shen Chao helping him, he immediately understands, and immediately goes inside to report, and asks Xun He to see him when he comes out again.

Emperor Cheng was critiquing paperwork, Xian Tao whispered, "Master, Mr. Qiu brought it here."

Xun He knelt down, and greeted him as usual: "Chenqiu Xun He, see Your Majesty, long live, long live." With a leg injury, it was easy to kneel, but difficult to get up. Fortunately, Xian Tao was clever and helped Xun He, Only then did Xun He barely stand up.

Emperor Cheng put down his pen and told Xiantao, "Give me a seat."

"Yes!"

"Thank you Lord Ron!"

After Xun He was seated, Emperor Cheng asked directly: "Xun He, why are you in such a hurry that you dragged your injured leg to come to see me, isn't it because of Shen Yue's son?"

"Holy Majesty is wise!"

Emperor Cheng frowned: "Do you know why I promoted you?"

Xun He clasped his fists together: "Forgive me for being stupid, please let me know."

"What I value is that you know how to advance and retreat, and know the general situation. Now! I haven't issued a word to punish you for the crime of covering up, but it's good for you to personally deliver it to your door!"

Xun He was so frightened that he immediately knelt down: "The fate of my minister is nothing more than mole crickets and mayflies. Death is not a pity. What I worry about is that the Holy One is so angry that he accidentally killed an important minister with humerus."

Emperor Cheng sneered: "The minister of the humerus? Shen Yue is worthy of him? Hehe, the father of the family and the country throws it away as soon as he says it, and he is arrogant. This is also the person who can entrust the great cause of the family and the country?!"

Xun He kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I just learned about General Shen's grievances from my slaves. After hearing this, I was moved and decided to risk my life to remonstrate. If Your Majesty is still determined to kill after listening to what I said, then I will continue It's not too late to judge the crime."

"Okay, you say."

"Back then, the Shen family in Gusu confiscated their home due to a crime, and the minister secretly entrusted his uncle Zi Chong to take care of him. Then General Shen made a comeback, and when he learned of the inside story, he decided to repay his kindness. When Wu Jing was arrested at sea, he entrusted the blessing of General Shen, and the minister did not Wang Yang was killed. And there is a reason for this fake death." Having said that, Xun He paused a bit.

Emperor Cheng was really curious: "Oh?"

"Presumably the emperor knows that General Shen was assassinated in General Shen's tent. It is true that Mr. Shen escaped from death, but after a narrow battle with the bandits, the general lost his way in the desert and was returning to the capital. Unexpectedly, he saw his coffin entering the capital, and General Shen moved In order to repay the kindness, I hid in the backyard of the Qiu Mansion and did some rough work." When he said that, Xun He stroked his injured leg.

"Once again, thanks to the blessing of General Shen, to be honest, this leg injury was caused by falling into the water. It was windy and rainy that day. If the slaves hadn't bumped into General Shen and asked for help in time, I'm afraid, at this moment, I'm already the king of Hades." People from the government."

"It's just that I fainted in the water, and I didn't know that the rescuer was the general. I just met the second master, and I found out that the Holy Majesty met General Shen after his visit that day. After confronting the servants, I learned the whole story. .”

"It can be seen that General Shen's move is not intended to deceive the emperor, but to repay his kindness."

"Furthermore, General Shen made great achievements in this Northern Expedition. After his triumphant return, the capital will be covered with crowns. But when he reached the peak, the General wanted to retreat to repay his kindness. How can such a loyal and pure person be unbearable to be the pillar of the country!"

After Xun He finished speaking, he knocked his head on the ground with a loud sound.

Emperor Cheng didn't refute anymore, but fell into deep thought. After a long time, he spoke, but asked: "That day, I have already issued a statement to judge the crime according to the law. According to the "Law of Daqi", if Shen Yue deceives the emperor, he will surely die."

Xun He took out a yellow silk package from his bosom, carefully took out the contents, and looked at Emperor Cheng: "I would like to exchange the iron coupon of Dan Shu for the life of General Shen, but I hope the Holy One will allow it."
