Uncle Nine

Chapter 90

Shen Hao and Liang Yiru went to the restaurant to treat Liang Yiru to a banquet, reminiscing about the old days, and thanking him for the kindness of taking him in that day.

"We are classmates, and it is fate that we became officials again." Shen Hao poured a glass of wine, "If you hadn't helped me that day, I wouldn't be where I am today. I can have the status I am today, thanks to you You and I are dear brothers, if you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me, as long as I can help, I will do my best."

Liang Yiru held up his wine glass, "Thanks to brother Shen for looking up to me, I respect Confucianism first."

Pushing a cup to change a cup, youthful aspirations do not express sorrow; classmates become officials, and travel together to compose poems.

Unexpectedly, what will happen tomorrow, what can I say about the ten-mile barren tomb?Fame and wealth are proud, and the frivolous peach blossoms chase the water.

When both of them were slightly drunk, Liang Yiru said with a smile, "The Ministry of Punishment seems to be still investigating the disappearance of the girl recently. I'm afraid Brother Shen won't be able to relax."

Shen Hao shook his head, "This matter has been going on for a long time. In fact, everyone knows that it is already an unsolved case. Whether or not it is investigated, the result will be the same. Lord Shang Shu is not in a hurry, and the people under us naturally dare not overstep. Day, count it as a day!"

Liang Yiru frowned, "Human life is at stake, and the murderer is still committing crimes, why is it considered an unsolved case? If the case is solved sooner, wouldn't the murderer be caught sooner, so that innocent people will not lose their lives in vain?"

Hearing this, Shen Hao smiled wryly, drank a glass of wine, and said slowly, "As early as a few years ago, the girl disappeared. Although the methods were similar, the girls who were caught were different. In the past From the age of twelve or thirteen to today's fifteen or sixteen years old, there is no similarity in age and body. How do you catch this? Even if you want to put bait, you can't find a suitable one."

Liang Yiru frowned, "This is really strange, can we start with the method of killing?"

"Trick?" Shen Hao took a deep breath, "So far, not many corpses have been found, and now those who are missing are still alive or dead. But this is not important anymore, the important thing is——"

"What is it?" Liang Yiru was puzzled.

Shen Hao sighed softly, "The important thing is that Lord Shang Shu is personally responsible for this case, and no one else is allowed to participate."

In other words, no one can interfere in this matter.

Liang Yiru didn't say anything more. He was not willing to participate in or comment on this kind of power play.Anyway, he is just walking in the Wenhua Palace, and it is best to ignore these things.

I have heard a lot and done a lot, and I will never go back to Daizhou.

He also wanted to go home with Xia Yu.

"Is brother Yiru married?" Shen Hao asked.

Liang Yiru bowed his head, "I'm all alone and never married."

"Then is there someone you like?" Shen Hao asked with a smile.

Taking a sip of wine warmed his heart, Liang Yiru smiled but did not answer.After thinking about it, I asked, "Is brother Shen married?"

"How can a scholar get married?" Shen Hao smiled, "It's the same as you, except that I still have a younger sister who needs to be taken care of, and the others—I have no relatives."

"Everything can be had again, only relatives are irreplaceable." Liang Yiru was slightly drunk.

Shen Hao nodded, and the two of them chattered about some innocuous things again, without mentioning the affairs of the court.Then they said their goodbyes and went home.

But this time, Liang Yiru didn't know why, but always felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

It's like a man in white clothes back then, but now he no longer wears old clothes.

The hidden dragon went out to the Golden Palace, kowtowed and called Long live grace.

Not knowing how Xia Yu is doing now, Liang Yiru went to Prince Rui's Mansion, feeling a little drunk, so he dared to go directly to her.

Hearing that Liang Yiru was outside, Xia Yu hurried to the door.

"Have you been drinking?" Xia Yu smiled, "I'm not loyal enough, and I'm not invited to drink alone." Thinking about what Zhao Shuo said last night, he stopped in time and said, "By the way, I was planning to find you and tell you good news, Shuying has been found, at Xie's house."

Liang Yiru didn't speak, just stared at her.

"What's wrong?" Xia Yu asked.

"Ayu, will you go back to Daizhou?" He asked suddenly, but Xia Yu still blurted out, "Back."

Liang Yiru smiled, "Okay." He turned around and left.

"Hey! You nerd!" Xia Yu was stunned, Monk Erzhang couldn't figure it out, he came to Prince Rui's residence just to ask this question?Or was he drunk, so he became obsessive?
Daizhou Mansion, of course, has to go back, mother is still in Daizhou Mansion, Hua Manlou is also in Daizhou Mansion, how can she not go back?

But why was she suddenly reluctant to part with Prince Rui's Mansion when she thought of going back?It is unknown if it is really reluctant to part with Prince Rui's Mansion, or the people who are reluctant to part with Prince Rui's Mansion.

As soon as Liang Yiru left, Zhao Shuo came back, and behind him besides Li Huan was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl.The girl lowered her eyebrows and looked down, her eyes were not focused at all, she looked extremely dull.

Taking a glance at the direction Liang Yiru left, Zhao Shuo frowned slightly, "You didn't keep the night watch, did you guard the gate instead?"

Xia Yu curled her lips, "No way."

"Follow me." He walked with his hands behind his back, and Xia Yu turned to follow.

"Master, what's the matter?" Xia Yu trotted to catch up with him.

He didn't answer, entered the flower hall of Yangxin Pavilion, and sat down.Li Huan served tea quickly, then stood aside silently.Xia Yu was puzzled, and stared curiously at the dumb girl.

"From now on, you will follow her every step of the way." Zhao Shuo took a sip of tea and said lightly.

The girl glanced at Xia Yu, then lowered her head again.

"I don't need anyone to follow." Xia Yu frowned.

Zhao Shuo didn't speak, and suddenly threw the cup in his hand out of the door. The girl's feet moved suddenly, and in the blink of an eye, she had already held the cup in her palm, and offered both hands to Zhao Shuo, "My lord."

Xia Yu was stunned, this figure was so fast and neat, she really was a master.

"If you don't want to die, let her follow you." Zhao Shuo sipped the tea gracefully, put down the cup in his hand, "Do you want it?"

"Okay." Xia Yu nodded, "What's her name?"

Li Huan stepped forward, "If you don't have a name, just call Anu."

Xia Yu was puzzled.

Li Huan said, "She was originally the daughter of a criminal slave in the alleys of the palace. It is a blessing for her three lives to be under the prince's command. A criminal slave should not have a name! It is her blessing to be able to serve the prince."

"Anu." Xia Yu read her name.

Anu thumped and knelt in front of Xia Yu, bowing his head respectfully.It's just that face, the expression is as numb as a wood carving, lifeless, like a pool of stagnant water.

"From now on, she will be your master." Zhao Shuo said.

Anu kowtowed, Xia Yu hurriedly supported her, "Get up."

"During this time, I have been busy with the entry of the Great Xia Mission to Beijing, so I have no time to take care of you. I take care of myself and pay attention to safety outside. At the Prince Regent's Mansion, try not to provoke me if I can. People in the backyard of the mansion, as long as you don't leave the ward No one dares to touch you at the gate of Xin Pavilion." Zhao Shuo's face was calm, and there was no emotion in his speech, as if he was expounding some kind of dogma.

"A mission to Beijing?" Xia Yu thought, Daxia and Dayan have been at war for many years, and now they are coming to court, presumably they want to get married, right?Then Princess Zhao Yan of Furong Garden, isn’t she——

"This is not something you should ask." Zhao Shuo got up, "The capital is not peaceful, you—be careful in the near future." He didn't know that Xia Yu was a wild horse, and he couldn't be locked up.He had no way to keep her from going out, so he could only tell her to be as careful as possible to reduce the risk factor.that is it!

After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo walked away quickly, as if he was in a hurry.

Standing in the corridor, she watched him walk in the direction of "One Leaf Zhiqiu".There was a sudden tug in his heart, he—was he in a hurry to see her?That her, even though her body is dead, her soul is still in his heart, unshakable.

He really went to "One Leaf Knowing Autumn", a dead courtyard, without the slightest breath of living people.

Xia Yu thought, the courtyard in his memory had already bloomed gorgeous flowers in his barren past years. It was so beautiful that no one could compare with it.No matter who it is, I'm afraid it's impossible to compete with the dead. If you can't fight, you can't grab it. Even Ye Eryu, who looks similar to Ye Zhiqiu, can't do it.

Zhao Shuo walked into that room, the door was quickly closed, and Li Huan stood outside, so as not to let anyone approach him.

A familiar voice came out of the room, "You should know that Dongfang Xu is interested in her. The Prince Regent's House has too many tricks, so you are not afraid that she will run away with Dongfang Xu? Or if you are caught by Dongfang Xu, it is doomed."

"I'm not afraid that Dongfang Xu will fall in love with her, but I'm afraid that Dongfang Xu will attack her after using her." Zhao Shuo's voice was obviously cold.

"You have given Dongfang Xu a taste of being used, and I'm afraid you won't have any killing intent on her in the short term," said that humanely.

Zhao Shuo did not speak, and the voices in the room fell silent for a moment.

"If she is not still useful, I would never have rescued her in Prince Rui's Palace last time. Her existence is a burden to you, me, and even the entire Prince Rui's Palace." The man's voice became colder , "This person is a girl with a masculine appearance, and her eyebrows are resolute. It may not be a good thing."

"You don't have to worry about it." Zhao Shuo said, "You just need to do your own thing well, and I will take care of hers."

The man paused, "Do you like her?"

There was another silence, and the man said quietly, "You will regret it when you are young and frivolous."

Zhao Shuo sneered, "With this king, there is no youth and recklessness, only the winner is the king."

"Zhu Cheng has already appeared in the capital, how do you plan to capture him?" the man asked.

"The bait has been released. With so many nets laid out, there will always be one that can catch it. Don't miss out on your own affairs. Don't miss this king's important business." After the sound fell, Zhao Shuo went out, and the door quickly closed behind him.

Zhu Cheng is doomed by the net, it just depends on whether Zhao Shuo wants to close the net.

After planning for many years, winners and losers are all among them.

But he also knew that it was not only himself who had planned for many years.There are also some people who have been eager to move since the day Zhao Lu took office.

------

When Shuying woke up, she was already lying in the wing room of General Xie's mansion.

"The girl is awake." The servant girl - Fuyue was delighted, and turned to the servant girl next to her, "Go and tell the general and Master Hou."

A maid ran out quickly, and Shuying blinked weakly, "This is me, where is it?"

Fuyue stepped forward, smiling, "Girl, this is the General's Mansion, you were injured, it was Young Master who brought you back."

"Small—Master Hou?" Shuying pondered.
