Chapter 151
Shen Jingcheng knelt on the ground listening to the content of the imperial decree, and did not answer it for a long time.

Against the decree?
The grandson of the emperor is not someone who can tolerate others disobeying orders. He resists the order so much that it doesn't matter, but if something happens, what will happen to his A Jin and his children?But after receiving the imperial decree, there is no other woman between him and Ah Jin, this is a shocking thing.

"Master Shen still hasn't accepted the edict?" The eunuch who read out the edict saw that he had not moved for a long time, and said in a high-pitched voice.

Only then did Shen Jingcheng come to his senses, accepted the imperial edict with a blank face, and respectfully sent the eunuch away.

After the eunuch left, Shen Jingcheng wandered around the yard a little anxiously, until he walked around for a full quarter of an hour before returning to the house as if he was helpless, and during this period, he even glanced at the woman who stayed behind. nothing.

The woman just looked at Shen Jingcheng so quietly, until Shen Jingcheng returned to the house, she also lightly moved her lotus steps to follow.

Shen Jingcheng raised his eyelids to look at the woman, and after a long silence, he suddenly asked, "Do you want freedom? If you want freedom, I can give it to you."

The woman froze when she heard the words, then smiled neither humble nor overbearing, and said: "My lord, I was bestowed on you by the emperor, how can there be any freedom?"

The implication is that she is a person bestowed by the emperor, she is not something that Shen Jingcheng can arrange at will, so give her freedom?How can a magistrate say this at will?

Shen Jingcheng's eyes flashed when he heard the words, as if he didn't understand the meaning of her words at all, he said: "I didn't say that you were not given by the emperor, I just asked if you want to be free? If you want, I can go and talk to the emperor. fight for."

The woman's expression was a little bad.

How does that work?
When she is stupid?If there is an inappropriate official wife, then go back to the palace that can eat people and continue to serve people?

She wasn't born mean, why would she live such a life.

The woman stabilized her emotions, smiled softly, and played an emotional card with Shen Jingcheng: "Your Excellency may not know that besides being a gift from the emperor, I am also a member of Song Guiren."

"Song Guiren?" Shen Jingcheng was taken aback when he heard that, and looked up suspiciously at the confident woman.

"Yes, Mrs. Song." The woman seemed to be a little proud and said: "It is the Song family store that has business dealings with you, the only sister of shopkeeper Song, she is now a noble person in the palace. In addition, three years ago, I I once came to your house with Song Guiren, but you were not at home at that time, and the wife at home didn't seem to like us rushing to the door very much, so she drove us away."

The last word 'catch' is to sow discord, and also to tell Shen Jingcheng how much Gu Jin doesn't understand etiquette.

"Really?" Shen Jingcheng narrowed his eyes dangerously when she heard the three-year money, and asked with a half-smile: "Three years ago, you and Song Guiren came to my house."

"Yes, my lord may not know that I am the most capable person around Mr. Song Gui. It is out of kindness for Mr. Song to ask the emperor to give me to you. I hope my lord will not disappoint your mother's kindness." The woman pointed talking.

"Is that so." Shen Jingcheng looked at the arrogant woman in front of him, smiled very gently, as if he wanted to confirm something, and asked again: "You really don't want to be free?"

"My lord, you are joking. I can't help myself, so I don't have the courage to want to be free." The woman pretended not to understand what he meant, and said shyly, "Besides, this is the imperial decree of the emperor. How dare I resist it?" Purpose?"

"That's good." Hearing this, Shen Jingcheng didn't continue talking with her, and only waved to her: "You go down first, I'll think about it."

After Shen Jingcheng finished speaking, he turned around and picked up the warm teapot, and slowly poured himself a cup of tea with his back turned to the woman, his eyes were full of coldness.

The woman also knew that things should not be done too hastily, upon hearing the words, Shen Jingcheng bent over and blessed Shen Jingcheng, who had her back turned to her, then turned and walked out.

Although she could speak with the confidence bestowed by the emperor, she did not dare to offend Shen Jingcheng to death. After all, this is the person she will rely on for her life in the future, so she still has to give some face.

Shen Jingcheng waited for her to leave, but he didn't pick up the water to fill the teacup, but just stared at the water surface of the Buddhist cave turning around, his eyes flickering.

What a Song Qingyue, she really is doing well.

And what is this lifeless woman?She also dares to put pressure on him and sow discord with his words here. Since she doesn't want freedom so much, she should stay here well.

It just so happened that he didn't want to work for the grandson of the emperor, so if he didn't take advantage of the opportunity that came to his door, wouldn't he really let down the good intentions of these people?
So, that night, in the dead of night, a house in the capital suddenly caught fire, and the screaming scream of the woman woke up the neighbors. His leg was broken by a falling beam, and when people dragged him out of the house, his clothes were already covered, and he was almost burnt beyond recognition.

And this family is the courtyard of the prefect of Guide Prefecture who returned to Beijing to report on his duties. The man who was almost burned beyond recognition was Shen Jingcheng, the prefect of Guide Prefecture. The woman who was burned to death was just given by the emperor. To the prefect's concubine.

When the found doctor finished examining the prefect's legs and came to a conclusion that he might not be able to stand up again,
The neighbors around looked at the young man and saw that his hair was almost burned off when he was dragged out, and couldn't help but sigh.

Such a young magistrate is in his prime, and his legs are so crippled, what a pity, what a pity!
How can I be an official after this?
And when Shen Jingcheng woke up, he couldn't believe the fact that he had become a cripple, so he screamed crazily in the room, even disregarding his broken leg, he was carried to Dali Temple to file a complaint.

"This is the murder of the current court official. You must find the thief who set the fire and commit the murder, and cut him to pieces."

It looked like a maniac, with blood red eyes that looked like they were going to kill, and the hair on Dali Siqing's back stood on end.

But why is the arsonist so easy to find?

He even began to wonder if someone in the court could not see that he was favored by the emperor, so he set fire to the murderer, otherwise why the emperor gave a concubine in front of him, and this person was almost burned to death later?
But this is just a guess. Dali Siqing took people to look at the burnt-out courtyard of Shen's house, and found no clues except for the ashes all over the ground.

On the other hand, Shen Jingcheng seemed to be crazy, seeing that these people did not find any evidence, he just yelled and cursed at them, as if they were the ones who broke his leg.

It is impossible for the people who can enter Dali Temple to be simple people, almost everyone has a family background, they sympathize with Shen Jingcheng, but they cannot tolerate such insults from a local official.

As a result, some officials who were irritated immediately went up to Tianting angrily.
