As he spoke, he was wearing a scarlet-lacquered mountain armor, holding a straight sword in his hand. The iron armor collided with each other and came closer. The overwhelming momentum made the candlelight extinguish and the whole room fell into an abyss. , it’s all dim and dim wherever you look.
Shen Nanbao raised his head slightly and glanced at the people beside him. He was still as majestic and noble as he remembered in his memory. Standing there, he was like a Bodhisattva descending to earth. It made people tremble and dare not look directly. They could only bow their heads and worship devoutly. .
It's a pity that the man didn't want her to bow, so he stretched out his hands to help her upright, "Go and sit on your own side, what are you doing to me? It's not too disrespectful."
Shen Nanbao, who was angry just now, was now annoyed. Shen Nanbao couldn't help but glared at him. The warning in his eyes was very clear and clear, telling him not to act like a market monkey and play tricks. Show it to others.
Xiao Yichen understood and touched his nose. When he turned around, he saw that the mighty palace commander was still there. He stared at Shen Shi and smacked his mouth. He looked at Shen Shi and his heart trembled. After shaking, he realized what had happened in his heart. Afterwards, the feeling sank to my heart, and I felt steady, spreading an unprecedented confidence.
But the necessary panic still has to be done, such as sitting in an armchair for a moment, then standing up and bowing tremblingly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why are you here..."
Xiao Yichen didn't answer him. He crossed his hands and passed by. The slightly astringent Su Hexiang hit Shen Shi on the head like a stick, "This is not a good way to exploit the confession of the manager of Tianchengtai Copper and Tin Shop. It's not Do you dare to ask the officials to rush to arrest me all night long because they think my corpse is a piece of food?"
He said slowly, his cold voice cutting Shen Shi's throat like a blunt knife. He didn't know where the fear arose from, but it came up little by little, and flooded his throat like a mountain of water. , so blocked that Shen Shi was speechless for a moment.
Fortunately, Xiao Yichen was in a good mood today. He walked leisurely around the room and explained: "I wonder if Mr. Shen still remembers the Kunwu clan earlier? That thief secretly made military talismans in an attempt to hide the secret and kill our soldiers. Move across the river mouth and throw yourself into the snare of the China tribe."
He snorted and sneered, and the candle flame jumped suddenly, jumping into Shen Shi's eyes, and the ends of his eyes twitched violently.
Xiao Yichen pretended not to see it and spoke again leisurely, "But who are we? How could we let such maggots get through the loopholes under our noses, so we were caught on the spot."
Shen Shi calmed down this time, stretched his neck, and said with astonishment, "This is obviously unjust... Then the Kunwu family said it..."
Xiao Yichen stared straight at him, like a sharp sword, cutting off all Shen Shi's words, "Said? Are you saying that he was unjust? Mr. Shen is also a right-hand government official, and there are not many cases that pass by. ? Why do you believe people when they cry out that they are wronged? Are you so soft-hearted? I don’t think so. The fifth girl is always so dedicated and filial in front of Mr. Shen, but she doesn’t even see you showing any sympathy, and she still looks coldly. Look at people."
Such a yin and yang aura did not move Shen Shi in the slightest. He frowned and said Shen Ran: "This is different, Commander-in-Chief. How can she be compared with the Kunwu clan?"
Comparable.
What a wonderful use of these four words.
Shen Nanbao immediately understood that to Shen Shi, he was not even comparable to an outsider.
Although he had long understood Shen Shi's coldness in his previous life, Shen Nanbao still couldn't help but feel cold when he listened to it so suddenly. His brain was also mushy and could not be stirred. It was a white mass. He weighed his forehead and palms with his hands. Cold sweat formed on her forehead, making her tremble with the cold.
As if she was in a state of bliss, those trivial things flashed through her mind like a movie. Her slumped body slowly sat up straight, and the fists on her knees trembled slightly. With.
Xiao Yichen saw all these little actions of hers, and because of this, his face became more and more gloomy. He turned his eyes towards Shen Shi and said, "Yes, after all, he is your contact with the China clan, so naturally he is better than Wu." Girls are much more important."
Even though Shen Shi was well prepared, he couldn't help but be shocked when he heard these words, "Collusion? The China Clan?"
He murmured these two words, and the muscles on his face trembled uncontrollably, "Commander, this is obviously a slander. I, Shen Shi, am completely loyal to the country, how could I do something as bad as a pig or a dog, colluding with foreigners! "
Shen Shi's voice was high, and Xiao Yichen's voice was even higher, "You are no better than a pig or a dog! Which of the things you have done from the past to the present can be done by a human being?!"
Shen Shi was startled, and he didn't know why. He suddenly turned his head and glanced at Shen Nanbao.
Xiao Yichen took a step and blocked her behind him.
"Master Shen, I'm talking to you, what do you think other people are doing?"
The sound of gnashing teeth became slower and slower at the end of the sentence, and the ups and downs in the tone could be clearly heard.
Shen Shi's eyes were as big as copper bells, "You know everything?"
Xiao Yichen's cold eyes narrowed into slits with a smile, "What if you know? So what if you don't know? Instead of caring about me, Mr. Shen should worry more about his own affairs. That day, the manager of Chengtai Copper and Tin Shop admitted you in black and white, saying that it was you The talismans he made privately were secretly transported to the Kunwu clan through waterways..."
Shen Shi stood up in an instant, "It's nonsense, it's all nonsense! I have never..."
As soon as they got up, he and Xiao Yichen stood looking at each other, and saw the joking in Xiao Yichen's eyes.
That bit of joking is like a cruel and unruly tyrant, openly watching people struggle before death. The harder they struggle, the happier he becomes.
Realizing this, Shen Shi stopped all his shouting. He breathed a sigh of relief, but did not suppress the anger in his chest. As soon as he raised his hand, he pointed at Xiao Yichen's nose and cursed, "The front secretary is just a man full of ink." The tank! No matter how innocent a person has been in such a place, he will be filthy when he slips out! I don't accept it, I want to report it, I want to report it to the officials, tell me my grievances, how you pretended to be powerful, and through thorough investigation, you found out the truth. A sinful and despicable business!"
The people walking around with their backs and waists hunched suddenly suddenly gained strength today, as if they were falling like jade mountains. It was so shocking that people raised their eyebrows.
But after looking sideways, Xiao Yichen just laughed coldly, "Master Shen, do you think you can still see the official family?"
These words pinched Shen Shi's lifeline. The anger and courage were all stabbed in the eyes at this time, and the buzzing was gone. He just stood there slumped, his vision drifting, drifting, drifting. Behind Xiao Yichen, the slightly exposed corner of his robe and a hand suddenly tore his dark future into a bright one.
He suddenly came to his senses, and suddenly remembered his previous confidence. In just a moment, his back, which was as arched as a shrimp, was proudly straightened up, but his expression changed from indignation to sorrow, "The commander-in-chief knows that Yes, I will tell you the truth..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yichen cut him off with a stern eyebrow, "You don't have to tell me the truth, that's not why I came here today."
As he said that, he turned around and looked out the window. The dripping under the eaves had been buried for a moment, and the moon was also hidden behind the clouds. Xiao Yichen squinted his eyes and said, "I have spent so much time with you, but I am so sleepy." I've been coaxed out, and I don't bother to talk to you anymore. Anyway, the left and right are not like your wife, either Ling Chi or lighting sky lanterns..."
Their words fell into Shen Nanbao's ears, just like playing riddles. Before Xiao Yichen made any arrangements, she stood up by holding her skirt and asked: "What...is this about?"
Xiao Yichen was obviously stunned. The man who had been calm just now had a litigious look on his face at this moment. He didn't look at her directly and just said, "It's not urgent. I'll talk to you later."
She saw his guilty conscience, and Shen Shi saw it too. He shook his beard and was about to say something, but Xiao Yichen never thought that Xiao Yichen would see it. She grabbed his mouth and punched Ban Zhi, who stood like a statue. He yelled: "What are you doing standing here? If you don't kick people out, do you really think we are pots with missing spouts here to serve people?"
Almost in the blink of an eye, Shen Shi, who had just stood like a pine tree, was held in someone's hand and his mouth was pressed. He was whimpering and dragged out by two squads on the left and right.
Shen Nanbao was not a fool, so she understood the meaning. She blocked Ban Zhi's way and looked at Xiao Yichen, "Is there something you can't say in front of me? You have to do this in such a deceptive manner."
No matter how cold-faced Xiao Yichen is on weekdays, he can't express his kindness to the person he cares about. He frowned and said in a consultative tone: "Now is not the time to talk about this matter. I will wait until later to find a good friend." I'll tell you when the time comes."
Shen Nanbao laughed at his remarks, "Since the palace commander is thinking about the future, why do you ask the official to knock on the rim of the vat every day?"
She faced him with such an attitude, as if she were facing a stranger or an enemy. Seeing Xiao Yichen's energy and blood surge up in waves, his head felt dizzy!
He finally took a deep breath and gritted his teeth to explain: "I asked Fang Guan to knock on the edge of the jar. I didn't want you to suddenly know that you couldn't bear it, but I didn't want to wait for the opportunity to tell you now. You wait until I will do this." After the matter is settled, can I talk to you again?"
He felt that it was a very considerate relief, but it turned out to be a high-sounding excuse in other people's ears. He even stood there upright, with a crisp voice, and it was like a steel knife scraping into the seams of his bones.
"I'm not as fragile as you think, Commander-in-Chief, and I'm not a good person. How could I be crushed into pieces so easily? Tell Ban Zhi to open his mouth and tell the truth."
Such a change was unexpected by all the squad members. They stood in the center of the earth and looked at them indifferently. For a moment, they didn't know whether they were escorting people away or waiting for them here.
Because of this, Shen Shi had an opportunity to take advantage of it. He bit Ban Zhi who covered his mouth.
Ban Zhi felt pain and let go of his hand.
Shen Shi immediately howled at the top of his lungs, "If you don't tell me, Commander-in-Chief, I'll tell you! You've been home for so long, haven't you been thinking, after all, you are my daughter, why do I treat you like a worn-out shoe?" In fact, you have vaguely guessed it yourself, but you just don’t dare to think that way, that’s right! You are not my biological child, and the blood on your body is not from our Shen family, but from the Xiao family! It’s from Xiao Bi!”
