Chapter 123
The words were so obvious, Shen Jiyun could only smile a few times, and said: "If Shao Erlang really wants to join the army, it's not impossible for me to mediate for a while when I return to Bianjing, but right now I still have my uncle's instructions on me. , dare not neglect."

In a few words, Shen Jiyun threw the question back into Shen Qingling's hands.

Green smoke rose from the incense burner in the corner, and when the wind blew, the room was filled with fragrance, and even the stalemate atmosphere was washed away a little.

Shen Qingling turned her eyebrows, squinted at the graceful smoke, and said: "It's just some household chores, where is it worth my cousin's troubles? I originally thought that my cousin stayed here because he loved the beautiful scenery of Yangzhou, but I didn't think about it. On me. It’s easy to handle, I’ll write a letter to my father and explain clearly the cause of the internal force, and naturally my father won’t make things difficult for my cousin.”

Seeing that Shen Jiyun's expression was shaken, Shen Qingling continued: "If my cousin can arrange a proper errand for Ah Cong, I owe him the favor. My cousin has lived with me for so long, so he must know about me. As a human being, I have always repaid the kindness of a drop of water with a spring..."

The two people who were constantly calculating in their stomachs looked at each other and smiled.

On that side, as soon as Shao Cong returned to the backyard, he immediately went to discuss with his elder brother.

As a result, of course, he was scolded by his elder brother.

It's not that Shao Ying disagrees with Shao Cong's joining the army, but judging from the current situation, Shao Ying feels that if his younger brother clearly escapes, he will abandon Princess Zhaoning all the time!

"It's not what a gentleman would do if you do this." Shao Ying slapped Shao Cong's waist, "I have nothing to tell you here, you should go and explain to Princess Zhaoning. Everything is fine."

These days, Princess Zhaoning came and went in Shen's house, what she said and did was obvious to all.

"This is my business, why should I tell her?" Shao Cong blushed, and said with a straight neck: "Second lady is, and you are too. You are all on her side. Who ever thought of me? I am Xinyue She's true, but she's a princess! If I don't have a half-job, no military achievements, what should I marry her with?"

puff.

There was a chuckle from outside the door.

Princess Zhaoning came to the door just when Shao Cong said this. She blinked her eyes, climbed the door, looked at Shao Cong with her head tilted, and said, "You don't need any fame if you want to marry me. , that's fine."

As a result, Shao never liked to turn angry, and ran out with a dark face.

Seeing him like this, Monk Zhang Er was puzzled by Princess Zhaoning. After thinking about it for a while, she turned around and asked Shaoying, "Brother, do you think what I just said was wrong?"

"It's not wrong." Shao Ying didn't want to interfere with their love at all, shrugged, and said: "He is young and vigorous, and he can't tolerate the wronged person he loves for him, and wants to marry you justifiably. And you just want to stay with him, what's wrong? In my opinion, none of you are right."

Upon hearing these words, Princess Zhaoning's face was instantly filled with joy.

She giggled twice, ran away, and hurried to chase Shao Cong.

It was on the third day of May that Shao really went north.

At that time, the wilderness case was investigated and the truth came to light. Ren Bingyi released the wilderness back home, and the Shen family felt double happiness.Shen Qingling made the decision and asked the Huai'an Pavilion to hold a three-day feast of flowing water, thinking that the soldiers and civilians in the northern border wanted to pray for blessings, and entertained the people of Yangzhou.

That's how good fame spreads.

Some things slip into people's hearts unknowingly after the water has flowed for a long time.

For example, the owner of the Huai'an Pavilion, who was suspected of taking over the Du family's property, gradually gained a firm foothold in Yangzhou because of his benevolence and kindness.Since then, Huai'an Pavilion medical clinics and incense shops have sprung up one after another, and they seem to pile up with other merchants' homes in Yangzhou. It is not seen that the Shangguan family treated the Du family and came out to treat Huai'an Pavilion.

Back to Shao Cong.

Shen Jiyun left Yangzhou with Shao Cong, but Shen Qingling didn't have to go together. After she calmed down Shen Zeng with a few words, Shen Zeng forcibly appeased Xu Yan and pushed back Shen Qingling's entry into the capital for a while. push.

In fact, it was used to shake Shen Zeng, not other things.

When the emperor asked Shen Zeng to thoroughly investigate the case of witchcraft, he pulled out carrots and brought out mud, which involved many old cases and corruption cases.Shen Zeng was able to stay out of it at first, but he often walked by the river, how could he not get his shoes wet?

There was one case that made the emperor fear Shen Zenglai——

The case of a dancer in Zhongli County.

The small Zhongli County is so inconspicuous in the case of witchcraft, but through the investigation of the bribery case between the magistrate of Zhongli County and the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the officials of Dali Temple found that this place is even more exaggerated than raising thin horses in Yangzhou In just half a year, more than [-] dancers were sent out.

The most important thing is that these dancers don't have any other purpose, they are just used by the county magistrate Zhongli to connect with other Beijing officials.

After careful examination, Dali Temple found crimes such as bribery, bullying women, and occupying farmland on Zhongli County Magistrate. It was also because he colluded with Beijing officials that he followed the clues and found out the origins of those dancers.

It's no wonder that the magistrate of Zhongli didn't feel sorry for these dancers, and didn't use them to do anything important, because it didn't take much effort for him to get them. Israel waits.

Coincidentally, the Beijing official who colluded with the county magistrate of Zhongli was Xu Yan's younger brother Xu Jianyi.

What's even more coincidental is that Xu Jianyi was a dancer bought by the county magistrate of Zhongli for real money. He didn't buy it for others, but for Li Yu, the fourth prince who was named King Hui.

Not only that, when Xu Jianyi traveled outside, he used Shen Zeng's private seal, leaving irrefutable evidence.Shen Zeng trusted this brother-in-law too much, and when the incident happened, he couldn't understand why he could do such a stupid thing.

Now, Shen Qingling used the transaction between Xu Jian and the county magistrate Zhongli as a bargaining chip, in exchange for a year or so of peace for herself, and also gave Shen Zeng a chance to kill his relatives righteously.

She wanted to watch it again, the scene where the husband and wife were separated when disaster was imminent.

"Things are still moving in the original direction." Squeezing the letter from Bianjing, Shen Qingling sat on the roof of Huai'an Pavilion, looked north, and said quietly: "Liu Xiuwu's chess piece was destroyed, Li Zhang What else do you have to set up?"

However, even if the witchcraft case cannot be dealt with, Shen Qingling can use her own hands to tear apart the Shen family and devour it.

The difference is that this time the Shen family will only lose Shen Zeng.

Yingxiu who was trembling and sitting next to Shen Qingling couldn't quite understand, so she hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Second lady, let's go down, it's too high here, be careful where you step."

The wind in early summer was strong but not cold, it made Shen Qingling's hair fly up, her sleeves bulged, and Yingxiu beside her was shaking even more.

"What are you afraid of? Didn't you learn a few tricks from Yuxiang recently? It's practical, and you're trembling again." Shen Qingling twisted and pinched her cheek, "The scenery here is beautiful, and I feel relaxed and happy when I look at it. If Yingxiu is afraid, just Go down first."

Yingxiu's eyes widened, she puffed her face and said: "Your maidservant learned from Yuxiu, that's not like learning to fly over walls, Second Lady can't make fun of me."

Seeing that Yingxiu was afraid of becoming like this, Shen Qingling didn't stay on the roof for a long time, hugged her and flew down while stepping on tiles, jokingly said: "I'm not teasing you, in the future you have to learn from their flying over eaves and walls, Only by my side can we have some means of self-protection. From now on, it will be dangerous to be around your wife."

"Second lady is so smart and beautiful, the future will definitely be safe and smooth, and nothing will happen." Yingxiu fell to the ground, feeling much more at ease, and quickly bowed to arrange Shen Qingling's clothes, "Shao Erlang explained to us before leaving In the future, you can't be negligent in practicing martial arts. If the slaves listen to it, they will protect Er Niangzi just like Shao Erlang."

The sonorous and powerful voice of the little girl made Shen Qingling's heart feel extremely warm.

After the two returned to Shen's house, Di Yun trotted immediately, and came over to deliver many exquisite gadgets sent from Bianjing. When he was about to leave, Di Yun secretly handed Shen Qingling a secret letter with a playful smile.

The letter was of course written by Xue Yu.

Shen Qingling's deal with Shen Zeng was never hidden from him, so long before Shen Zeng made a move, Xue Yu would start to investigate the case of Zhongli's dancing girl.

"Laughing like this, did your lord increase your salary?" Shen Qingling glanced at Di Yun, opened the letter and read it, "Now that you stay in Yangzhou, you should be free, why don't you come to my house to work, I Give you another salary."

Di Yun asked with a smile: "May I ask what Second Lady needs me to do for you?"

He often came to Shen's house and borrowed Di Zhang's help, so his relationship with Shen Qingling was still relatively close, and his words were less polite, casual and natural.

"I remember that the magistrate of Jinyuan is also Di Yun, can you understand?" Shen Qingling asked Di Yun aloud while looking at ten lines, "It's not difficult at all, but I have several cases in hand, you go for me How about Jin Yuan?"

When she was the concubine of Shou Wang, Shen Qingling also liked to play with these courtiers, and because of this she offended Li Yu, which laid a lot of groundwork for her fears in the future.

Now, Shen Qingling doesn't want to take another step and hesitate.

"Jin Yuan?" Di Yun was stunned when he heard the words, nodded and said: "That county magistrate Di is my uncle's nephew, and he has some kind of friendship with me, but..."

What Di Yun didn't finish was that the people's voice of County Magistrate Di was not very good, so the county magistrate had been in office for more than ten years and couldn't move.

"It's nothing, there are some things that are suitable for them to do." Shen Qingling casually threw the letter aside, picked up a pen and paper and began to write, "I just want to trouble Di Yun to make a few more trips, oh yes, these things I have with your family Your lord said it too, did he tell you anything?"

Di Yun, with his head down, pouted his lips, and said in response: "My lord said, everyone in Yangzhou needs to follow all your instructions. Please don't worry about manpower."

Di Yun is very clear about how much his lord cares about Mrs. Shen, but the more he knows, the more he understands what his lord is carrying.You know, the mother and sisters in the adult family are really not cheap.

It's not coming to Yangzhou now, and it's just that I don't know it for the time being.

After all, those few people still think that the adult's trip to Yangzhou and Bianjing is really because of the emperor's oral order to tour the south on behalf of the emperor.

Shen Qingling finished writing a few letters, twitched her fingers in front of Di Yun, and said: "Since that's the case, then I'll trouble you, where to send it, and who to send it to, it's all written on it, and you don't have to wait for it after it's delivered." Reply, just come back directly."

After giving the order, Shen Qingling sat back behind the desk.

Her eyes fell on the slightly raised letter paper, her eyes drooped slightly, and her mind immediately drifted to Bianjing.

But everything that has been done will inevitably leave traces, as it was in the past, and it is also the same now.So under Shen Qingling's suggestion, Xue Yu found the poison that had the same symptoms as Shen Qingling's mother at the beginning without much effort.

A sprig of wormwood on the snow.

It is medicine and poison.

In the past, Shen Qingling had no evidence and wanted Xu Yan to pay for her life like crazy, that's why she designed the Xu family and the Shen family to be smashed to pieces in the witchcraft case.

This time is different.

"We pay attention to evidence." Shen Qingling murmured.

Di Yun saw that Shen Qingling had no other orders, so he handed her hands to salute and retreated.

Ping Niang, who had been waiting outside the courtyard for a long time, saw Di Yun go out, so she put on her skirt and walked in through the door, and asked, "Second Lady, Wu Niang came again yesterday and asked why Huai'an Pavilion didn't want her food, I'll take it." Some, and the rest were bought and distributed to neighbors. Do you see?"

To Shen Qingling, taking over the Du family's restaurant is more of a drag.

There are deficiencies everywhere, there are mistakes everywhere, Shen Qingling made up for the east side today, and has to bother to make up for the west side tomorrow, she can't just sit idle when she has free time, she has to plan for the Shen family and power.

It's no wonder that Zhou Langhuan came to the door that day, took Shen Qingling's hand very resentfully, and said that she was like a gong and drum, being knocked over and over again, and when and how to rest was up to him.

"Order it as usual, you have to put on a face." Shen Qingling rubbed her forehead, put Xue Yu's letter on the candlestick and lit it, "Tell the shopkeepers everywhere, now is the time to help each other, if I find out Whoever is slack, or who is quietly singing bad news, then don't blame me for turning my face and denying others."

Pingniang was very distressed, she walked over to press Shen Qingling's shoulders, and her voice softened a little, "Second Lady actually doesn't have to make herself so tired, didn't the Lord of the Ren family say before that the government can help take it back?" Du's restaurant? If Er Niangzi really feels that she can't hold on anymore, then don't let those restaurants go... After all, you can't become a fat man by eating in one sitting. "

Everyone else thinks the same way.

They didn't understand why Shen Qingling insisted on keeping the Du family's restaurant, and would rather use the profits of the Xiangfang Medical Center to make up the shortfall, but also hand over a beautiful and unimpeded account.

Logically speaking, this was not Shen Qingling's responsibility.

"I know Ping Niang, you love me." Shen Qingling let out a long breath, and leaned her head into Ping Niang's arms, "But there are some things, if you don't argue with me, they will fall into the hands of others. The Du's restaurant is just A brick, I want to use it to draw out the jade I want to attract."

When Li Yu's power in the northern territory matured, and when the Du family was executed in Bianjing, Li Youyu and Gu Su would no longer be able to blackmail the emperor with the safety of the Li people, and Khitan would never be able to resist as before.
