The river is quiet at night, and the boats sway gently, drifting slowly down into the distance along the free flowing water.
The weather was already a bit hot in the middle of June, but the river was extremely cool at night. The breeze blows by, bringing with it a cool breeze stained with water vapor, making people's skin feel cool instantly.
Sang Nianyue was sweating profusely at this time, and her whole body was soaked in a layer of quiet body fragrance.
Everything disappeared, and she lay lazily on the bed unwilling to move. Shen Tingjun wanted to take her to take a bath, but Sang Nuoyue used all her strength to hide in the bed.
"Be good, I won't move you anymore, so I will carry you to clean you..."
He has never been so reckless and wanton, so that her current situation does not seem to be good. Seeing the bruises on Sang Nuanyue's body, Shen Tingjun couldn't help but feel guilty.
He reached out to hug Sang Nuanyue. Sang Nuanyue hesitated for a rare moment, but she still had some trust in him. After only a moment of hesitation, she stopped struggling and resisted, and allowed him to easily carry her into his arms. In the room, he bathed her and put her into a soft and fragrant bedding.
The bedding had been changed again, probably when Su Jin and Su Wen came in and took away the dirty bedding when they were taking a bath. Sang Nuanyue couldn't care less about the shame. Perhaps she was used to it, perhaps she was too sleepy. Her head hit the pillow and she fell asleep.
When Shen Tingjun went to bed, she was not completely asleep, and she was still a little drowsy. She knew he was holding her tightly in his arms, but his body temperature was too high and it was not comfortable to sleep next to him on a summer night. But she was too sleepy and didn't want to move, so she leaned on his neck, put her hands on his chest, and fell asleep unconsciously.
She didn't know that after she fell asleep, Shen Tingjun stared at her peaceful sleeping face for a long time.
He lowered his head to kiss her red lips and murmured softly, "If you trust me more, I will give you an explanation when I return to Beijing. Yue'er, trust me again."
…
When Minzhou City was finally in sight, Sang Nianyue was no longer as calm as before, and her whole body became visibly nervous.
The sun was too hot in the morning, and the gorgeous sunshine was spreading heat and light wantonly. Standing on the bow of the boat at this time was really not a wise choice.
But Sang Nuanyue had been standing here since she got up early. Her eyes were blank and empty. She didn't know whether she was thinking about some distant problem or she was simply lost in thought.
Shen Tingjun stood beside her, and the two of them stood at the bow of the ship, quietly looking at the Minzhou City standing quietly in front of them.
There are wealthy businessmen there, there are charming and affectionate playgirls, there are lawless gangsters who dare to commit crimes under the bright sky, and of course there is the elder brother that Sang Nianyue has been searching for for ten years.
Sang Nianyue didn't know how to describe her mood at this moment. She should be happy, but she was timid about being close to home, but she didn't dare to take another step forward.
She said blankly: "What should I do if I still can't find my brother this time?"
"Then keep looking." Shen Tingjun said, "I have been looking for ten years, why not keep looking? If he is not in Minzhou, he must be in another state. If you can't find him, I will help you Searching. "
Sang Nuanyue's blank eyes finally came into focus. She looked at him and repeated his words, "Will you help me find him?"
"I will help you find him. As long as he is still on the territory of Great Qin, I will definitely find this person for you."
Sang Nuanyue's eyes felt a little hot, and her heart was beating fast in her chest. She looked at his sincere look, and at least at this moment he really loved her. Then that's enough.
Sang Nuanyue laughed, "Don't say such depressing words. Maybe my trip will go very smoothly and I will be able to find my eldest brother as soon as I get here?"
Shen Tingjun chuckled and did not argue with her about who was the one who said the frustrating words. She can say whatever she wants, as long as it makes her happy.
When it was time to disembark, it was also time to say goodbye.
Shen Tingjun has a secret place to stay, but Sang Nianyue wants to find the wet nurse and Uncle Wang immediately.
Shen Tingjun held her hand and did not separate until it was time to get into the carriage. His thick eyebrows furrowed into knots, "Can I go with you?"
Sang Nianyue quickly shook her head, "You also have business, so you should hurry up and go about your business. Before many people know about your trip south to Minzhou, you should hurry up and investigate the case. Otherwise, if someone discovers your whereabouts , it will be inconvenient for you to do anything else.”
Shen Tingjun wanted to say that there was nothing inconvenient. After all, if he had waited until he arrived in Minzhou to start collecting evidence, it would have been eight hundred years too late. But even though the matter had been handed over to his subordinates, it was really time for him to intervene. Otherwise, when other officials arrive in Minzhou later, they will be a little constrained.
It was also because of these considerations that Shen Tingjun reluctantly let Sang Nianyue go. But he still grabbed her wrist when she entered the car and asked her, "Are you coming over tonight?"
Sang Nuanyue understood what he meant immediately, but she only thought for a moment before shaking her head, "I won't go there. I think I should be busy with my eldest brother's affairs these days." No matter what eldest brother can do, If she couldn't find it, she would get a lot of information from the gangster. If she gets the detailed address by then, she will definitely go directly to find her eldest brother; but if there is no specific whereabouts of her eldest brother, she will inevitably continue to pursue it.
Therefore, she is really busy and really has no time to meet her lover.
Sang Nianyue looked at Shen Tingjun with a guilty conscience, and Shen Tingjun suddenly let out a cold "ha". At this time, he developed an inexplicable, very, very great hostility towards the Sang elder brother whom he had never met.
Even without showing up, Sang Nianyue's attention was completely taken away. If this person was really found, would Sang Nuanyue still be able to see him?
Shen Tingjun looked unhappy, and Sang Nianyue felt increasingly guilty. But you can't, you can't. Your lover is important, but no matter how important it is, you can't be more important than your eldest brother.
Therefore, Sang Nuanyue took advantage of Shen Tingjun's distraction and quickly shook off his hand and got into the carriage. This series of actions was not unsightly, it dumbfounded Cheng Lin and others, and even made Shen Tingjun laugh angrily.
And when he heard Sang Nianyue's low urging voice coming from the carriage, "Uncle Li, hurry up, let's go quickly," his chest became even more heaving with anger.
If the actual conditions didn't allow it, he really wanted to catch Sang Nuoyue back, press her on the bed and punish her for two days. Let her know what is good and what is bad, and who is good to use and not to throw away.
The carriage began to move with a rumble.
Uncle Li looked at Mr. Hou beside him. He also felt a little guilty. But no matter what, the girl has spoken, and there is no way he will not listen to her.
Uncle Li drove the carriage and walked past Shen Tingjun. At this time, he felt very happy.
Because the ship is so big, the old man naturally knows about the girl and the Marquis. Uncle Li didn't think it was the girl who took the initiative - no one from the Sang family would think that Sang Nianyue was the first to get involved in this matter. Since the girl didn't take the initiative, it was naturally the Marquis who threatened her. Looking at the way the girl is now avoiding Mr. Hou, it further proves that Mr. Hou is a decent gentleman on the surface, but in fact, in private, haha, don't say it.
Uncle Li's mind was full of joy, but he completely forgot about the affectionate scenes before the two of them started sleeping together. At this time, he shouted to the horse and drove it away from the place of trouble and trouble quickly. The Marquis also wanted the girl to come to him at night, which was a beautiful thought for him.
After watching Sang Nianyue and his entourage go away, Cheng Lin poked Cheng Yi in the back and asked him to go to his master to do his job.
He is now guilty of a crime. Although the Marquis has not punished him, he might remember the stupid things he did when his master doesn't get his way, and then beat him up... No, it makes his body hurt just thinking about it. It's better to avoid the masters as much as possible these days.
Cheng Yi withdrew his gaze, stared at Cheng Lin coldly, and then walked towards Shen Tingjun's room.
When Cheng Lin received Cheng Yi's look, he couldn't help but tremble. It should be said that he had been with his master for such a long time. Cheng Yi's eyes were half as powerful as his master's. At the very least, he was quite frightened.
Sang Nianyue and his party lost sight of anyone, and Shen Tingjun's party also quickly disappeared at the ferry.
They broke into pieces and ended up going nowhere.
Naturally, they got rid of all the people who were following him, but everyone in Minzhou City who should know the news also knew that the imperial court had indeed sent people to investigate the salt tax case. The group of visitors all had accents from the capital city, but the leader was dignified in appearance, with a stern look on his face, showing no anger or authority. If nothing else happens, this should be Marquis Wu An, who is also the minister of Dali Temple.
Suddenly, everyone in Minzhou City was in danger from top to bottom, and everyone became honest. No matter how many calculations I had in my heart, I was still confused at this time. But I don’t dare to show my face at this time. If I accidentally fall into this person’s hands, the best outcome would be to ask the Qiu Queen to kill her, and to kill her immediately is a routine operation.
Everyone hid quietly, but there were people in that room who immediately laughed happily when they heard that the sharp-sighted Shen Hou came to investigate the case.
When Chang Minjun saw her husband smiling so magically, she couldn't help but hold her forehead with a headache, "You are a third-grade general after all, so you can't pay attention to your image."
Lei Shuanghan, however, lay down on the Grand Master's chair, crossed his legs and laughed happily.
That wild and triumphant laughter frightened all the birds that were looking for food in the courtyard. They fluttered their wings and flew away. They were afraid that if they were too late, they would be shaken down by the wild laughter and be killed by the cat. If a dog is caught and bitten to death, then it is not an unjust death.
The bird flew away, and the maid also hid away. Chang Minjun rolled his eyes at her husband, wishing he could throw away his sleeves and leave.
But this person gets carried away easily, so she needs to remind him at all times. Otherwise, I am afraid that he will be too arrogant and someone will put a sack on him at night.
Chang Minjun advised angrily: "If you just laugh and keep your voice down, my ears will be deafened by you."
Lei Shuanghan immediately shut up when he heard this, and then looking at his wife's disgusted look, he rushed over in a few steps, hugged his wife, and chewed twice on the person's face. But the words he said were very nice, "I'm sorry, madam, I'm so happy. Madam, you must understand my mood. Madam, can you forgive me this time? Oh, madam, your face is too fair and fragrant. ”
Chang Minjun's fair skin suddenly turned red when the stubble rubbed against him, which made Chang Minjun very angry. She suddenly raised her eyebrows and picked up Lei Shuanghan's ears.
Lei Shuanghan immediately screamed. He was obviously a third-level general, but now he was screaming like a child. Chang Minjun wanted to scratch him again.
Chang Minjun rolled his eyes, deeply hating that he had judged people by their appearance before. When we first met this man, he had not yet been crowned. At that time, he was really delicate and handsome. She just took one look at him and couldn't help but feel moved. In the end, who would have known that this person would have such a nonsensical temperament after getting married, forgetting the nonsense, he still didn't clean up his appearance. It was nice to say that after revealing his true colors, he would definitely not be able to suppress the little soldiers in the military camp. Therefore, I would rather go out with a bearded face every day. This does have prestige, but this image is really shabby. In her eyes, it was really hurtful!
Chang Minjun often couldn't help shouting in his heart: Which family's genes are these? Why does it look like a human and a dog, but when it comes to messing around, it is really disgusting to dogs.
Chang Minjun once again became interested in her husband's background.
Yes, although Chang Minjun has been married to Lei Shuanghan for ten years and has even given birth to three children, she still doesn't know what her husband's background is and what kind of family her husband's family is.
It's not that she doesn't want to inquire, or that she's not curious, it's simply because when her husband was rescued, he completely forgot about his future.
The reason for the "Lei" surname was that a bolt of thunder happened to fall on him when he was unconscious. He screamed in pain, which alerted his father who happened to be patrolling somewhere. His father rescued him and learned that he had forgotten his future, so he simply gave him a new name after "Lei".
His name is Shuanghan, but this comes from a poem, the famous line "One sword, frost and cold, fourteen states." It can also be seen from this poem that Lei Shuanghan is good at using swords. However, at the beginning, most of his swords were tricks and he could only play tricks. However, after ten years of military service, Lei Shuanghan was able to quickly climb from an unknown person to the position of a powerful general of the third rank. His sword skills , has long been trained to perfection, and he can be regarded as living up to his father-in-law's trust in giving him this name.
Without going into these digressions, let's just say that although Lei Shuanghan didn't know his origins, his life was indeed hanging by a thread when he was picked up by General Chang. He looked like a miserable little pitiful person. But he has a great destiny. Not only did he endure all kinds of pain and survive successfully, but he also succeeded in marrying General Chang's beloved daughter, who was both civil and military, as his wife.
Chang Minjun is a well-known figure in Minzhou. Firstly, she has a good father, who controls Minzhou's 300,000 navy; secondly, she has good appearance and conduct, and is a good person at home and abroad; thirdly, she , she is superb in martial arts - don't underestimate this. Maybe in other states, it seems rude for a female family member to know martial arts, and she will be singled out by her husband's family in the future, or even worse, she will not be able to get married, but in Minzhou it is That's not the case at all.
Because it is close to the sea, it is the hardest hit area by Japanese pirates all year round. The Japanese pirates were cruel and bloodthirsty. After landing, they slaughtered all men, women, and children. At this time, if the housewife of the family is skilled in martial arts and full of determination, she may be able to save the entire family.
In view of this situation, Chang Minjun is really popular in Minzhou.
But who would have thought that such a sweetheart would be looked down upon by thousands of people who wanted to marry him, but in the end he chose an orphan among thousands of people to be his husband.
Just ask, does this make people angry?
This is so infuriating.
However, although Lei Shuanghan has lost his memory, his ability to make people angry is still there. He would not endure whoever made him angry, nor would he fight back. He asked his wife to help him on the spot. Do you think this person is shameless?
For example, Wang Qihe, Lei Shuanghan's mortal enemy, was born well. His father was the magistrate of Minzhou and was in charge of the administrative affairs of Minzhou. He was a veritable "frontier official".
This man had been angry with Lei Shuanghan for a long time because he married the girl he liked. Both sides have given each other small stumbling blocks, and they have not stopped for ten consecutive years.
But what happened some time ago was too dangerous. It turned out that Wang Qihe and several second-generation people were selling illegal salt and planned to rob the salt tax to fill their own pockets. Fortunately, Lei Shuanghan caught him doing this.
Originally, Lei Shuanghan didn't dare to speak out about this matter. After all, it involved salt tax and private salt, so it would take more than just losing a few heads. He was going to tell his father-in-law about the matter and wait until he asked his father-in-law for his opinion before making any arrangements. But someone discovered him at that time and stabbed him directly in front of Wang Qihe.
After all, Wang Qihe was not an ordinary person. Now that he was discovered, he simply exposed the matter without doing anything else.
Don't get me wrong, he didn't blow himself up, let alone expose all his accomplices who sold illegal salt. He attacked his lieutenant. Not only did he slap Li Shan with a big slap, but he also blatantly tried to catch him.
Li Shan was imprisoned directly. Didn't this make Lei Shuanghan angry?
Now that it had come to this point, Lei Shuanghan simply took a more ruthless approach and entrusted all the evidence he had found to be delivered to the capital. He also recruited several victims to make this matter the biggest issue. Sure enough, the matter involved salt tax and illicit salt, and the imperial court directly sent an imperial envoy over, and this imperial envoy was the last to be bribed, and was the wise and sharp-minded Marquis of Wu'an who was in the heart of the emperor.
Lei Shuanghan couldn't help laughing again and shot himself in the foot. He waited for Wang Qihe to dig the hole and buried himself in the grave.
Chang Minjun was not as optimistic as him, and she gave her reasons.
"First of all, it is not yet certain whether the imperial envoy is Marquis Wu'an. Even if the person who comes here is really Marquis Wu'an, it is hard to say whether Marquis Wu'an is as fair and strict as the rumors say."
"Secondly, although Wang Qihe is stupid and arrogant, Wang Zhizhou is shrewd and sophisticated. He will not allow his son to end up in jail."
Although this is true, it is somewhat unpleasant to listen to. At the very least, Lei Shuanghan was not happy to hear it, so he turned away with a groan and said, "After all, you still remember that the man surnamed Wang bought you a candy man before and treated you so well when you were a child. good."
Chang Minjun directly picked up the feather duster in the corner and glared at Lei Shuanghan, "How dare you try to talk nonsense to me again?"
