Ying 17 and 18 were already prepared for the marshal and their boss to come to the dungeon. They had cleaned the dungeon in advance. Every corner had been cleaned. Not to mention the traces after the interrogation, not even a trace of dust could be seen. , the windows are truly bright, clean and spotless. Not only that, they also enthusiastically prepared charcoal basins, hot tea, etc., so that if they stayed for a longer time, the marshal and their boss would not be left cold or thirsty. But they never expected that Wu Dinghou would also come, and they suddenly felt the pressure doubled. It's not that there is anything wrong with Wu Dinghou himself, but that the dungeon is cold. If the cold-suffering Houye is exposed to the cold again, they cannot bear the responsibility.
Miaomiao, the only daughter of Wudinghou Mansion, has not yet married and had children. If something happens to her, Ying Shiqi and Ying Shiba feel that they may be eternal sinners. Not to mention how the emperor in Xijing will deal with them, and the boss will not Spare them. This is not alarmist talk. The lessons learned from the past are right in front of us. I still remember the boy who caused Wu Dinghou to fall into the water. His end was simply miserable!
In fact, not only in the Zhenguo Palace, but also in the entire Shen family army, everyone thought that Wu Dinghou was a very magical existence. This man looked soft and frail. He wore a wide robe and long sleeves and walked around the Jiaping Pass all day long, swinging a folding fan. He looked like a celebrity from the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and he didn't look like a man who was going to fight or kill at all. But as soon as he arrived on the battlefield or on the training field, he seemed like a different person. He didn't look as sickly as usual, especially after winter. He was so brave that even the three or five soldiers who joined him were not his. opponent. A long spear is invincible. Not to mention the Shen family's people, even those foreigners have to give Wu Dinghou a thumbs up.
The experiences of Wu Dinghou and Zhen Guo Gong were very similar. When they were young, their parents passed away early, and there were no other elders in the family to help them. Even if there were any, they were far away in Xijing, and water from far away could not quench the thirst of those nearby. At a young age, he took on the responsibility of a government, an army, and a city. He led troops into battle at the age of twelve, and it has been ten years now. Now that I have reached the age where I can continue my family lineage, I can finally open up branches for the two mansions. If something unexpected happens at this time and the incense of the two mansions is cut off, except for those foreigners who have been eyeing Daxia, the whole country may celebrate. , other people, especially the Xia royal family, might have fainted from crying in the main hall.
Therefore, the people around Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian were on tenterhooks all day long, fearing that a careless move would cause a disaster.
"Hey, hey, why are you two little brats so sad when you see me? I came here to see you with good intentions, look at your attitude!" Xue Ruitian pointed at Shadow Seventeen with the handle of his fan. He Yingshiba knocked twice on the shoulder, "Look, look, look at your two haggard faces. It looks like you've been up for several nights, right?"
"It's just three nights."
"Just?" Waiting for you."
"Yes, thank you Lord Marquis for your concern, we will go to bed soon. But..." Ying Qiqi came over and whispered, "The dungeon is cold and cold, can Lord Marquis' body still bear it?"
"Although I am afraid of the cold, I am not a sick young man who will collapse in the wind, okay? Being afraid of the cold and being in poor health are two different things. Don't confuse me, understand? If you say such things in the future, be careful of me bringing you down. You know, you know?" Seeing Ying Qiqi nod, Xue Ruitian felt a little more comfortable, "I don't even know what to say about each of you! When have you met? Mr. Hou is sick? He didn't even sneeze." As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Ruitian felt his nose was particularly itchy and sneezed hard.
"Look, look, this is called talking and talking!" Hongye will not give up any opportunity to complain about her boss. She is looking forward to the day when her boss can't help but kick her, and she can She happily carried her small package back to the Duke's Mansion. At that time, she could choose the life she wanted. No matter Shen Haolin or Shen Cha, following either one is much better than following a arrogant or narcissistic maniac. However, the boss's patience has not reached its limit yet, and she still has to follow Xue Ruitian honestly. "No, hand stove."
"This is an accident, you know?" Xue Ruitian took the hand stove and blinked at Hongye, "Forget it, be good! Also, you need to change your attitude. You can't always mock you every chance you get. Boss, do you know your superior? You must respect him, you must respect him, otherwise, I will punish you by forcing you to run around the city ten times."
Hongye didn't say anything, just gave Xue Ruitian a big eye roll.
Shen Haolin and Shen Cha ignored him at all, and did not participate in Xue Ruitian's tricks. They walked directly to Mao San'er, looked at the man carefully, and did not speak for a long time.
"Marshal, boss." Ying Shiba followed Shen Haolin and Shen Cha and said in a low voice, "I checked his condition just now. He fainted. Did my subordinates splash him to wake him up?"
"No, just let him faint! After suffering all night, let him have a good rest. Only after he has had enough rest can you proceed to the second round." Shen Haolin waved his hand, "Did he say that the one who instigated him If someone comes to steal something, what should he be allowed into the Zhenguo Duke’s mansion to steal?”
"He doesn't know!" Ying Shiba shook his head, "Mao San'er said that the man didn't tell him what he wanted to steal at all. He also asked that man and listened to what he meant. He just allowed him to sneak in successfully. In our house. I think this person probably wants to use Cat San'er to test the defense of our house. The person who wants to really sneak into our house should be this person himself or the person behind him."
"This inference...makes sense." Shen Cha nodded, "Mao San'er is the starting point."
"Whether it's a brick or something, we all know that someone is secretly thinking about us! Cha'er!" Shen Haolin raised his fingers towards Shen Cha, gesturing for her to come over, and so on, and so on. a few words. "clear?"
"Brother, don't worry!" Shen Cha nodded slightly, looking at Shen Haolin and slightly curling his lips, "I will arrange for someone to do it in a while."
"Let's go, there's nothing to see here." Shen Haolin held Shen Cha's shoulders and walked out. As he walked, he told Ying Shiba, "Keep an eye on people. If they run away or die, your boss will kill you." Chop it into pieces and feed it to the dogs, I won’t stop you.”
"Yes!" Ying Shiba looked at his marshal, then at his boss, and sighed heavily. What does it mean to work together in a cowardly manner, and what does it mean to help an enemy to harm others? These two men in front of him are living examples!
Shen Cha was brought out of the dungeon by Shen Haolin and found out that they had forgotten Xue Ruitian and Hongye inside. She was too lazy to go in and call for help. She and Shen Haolin simply found a place with plenty of sunshine to bask in the sun while waiting for someone. Anyway, When Xue Ruitian finishes bragging about his bullshit and visiting people, he will run out.
"Your birthday will be in two months. Although eighteen is not an integer, it is still a big day. Have you figured out how to celebrate it?" Shen Haolin reached out to wipe off the stain on Shen Cha's cheek that he didn't know where it came from. Lu Shui said, "Don't say no, no matter what year, you should celebrate it properly this year. Xiaojiu told me many times in advance, don't let him down."
"I really don't have any ideas. Since you are so enthusiastic, I will leave it to you."
"Hey, do you think you are ready to become an uncle and not care about anything?" Shen Haolin smiled, "That's good, you were the one busy with us in the past, and this time it's our turn to hold a banquet for you. .”
"Well, I'll wait and see what kind of banquet you two can throw." Shen Cha took a deep breath, "I have something to tell you." Shen Cha waved towards Mei Zhu He waved his hand to signal her to step back and said in a lower voice, "Someone is investigating what happened to Uncle Xue ten years ago."
"Xiao Tian?"
"I don't know. Judging from the method of tracing, it doesn't look like him, nor does it look like those old men back then. Brother, I have to inform His Majesty in advance about this matter. Uncle Xue's case... not even a single trace can be revealed. .”
"I know, I will tell him." Shen Haolin sighed softly, "How could anyone remember that? How strange!"
"Maybe he is curious, maybe he wants to do something with this matter, maybe..." Shen Cha shook his head, "I will send someone to keep an eye on him. Brother, don't worry. No matter what the other party wants to do, we just need to protect him." .”
"What if it's him?" Shen Haolin touched Shen Cha's hair, "Leave this matter to me. You have a lot to deal with every day, so don't put more burdens on yourself. What's more, what happened back then You were still young when it was posted, so although you knew a general idea, you didn’t know much about the specific situation. I’m different, I can be considered a half-experienced person.”
"I only have a little impression, but every time I think about it, I always feel that the evidence and testimonies from back then were as prepared as they were, lacking a sense of reality. If I say it, the possibility of frame-up is greater. People from Xijing, It's possible for people outside the customs. Moreover, the last battle between father and mother was so brutal, didn't my brother ever think about why?"
"Do you think these two things are related?"
"My intuition tells me that there is, but the evidence is insufficient. In the second month after the incident at the Wuding Hou Mansion, the Liao and Jin coalition forces invaded in large numbers. The menacing posture is still fresh in my memory. They came to the city and besieged us for nearly a month. Every household in Jiaping Pass was They all hung up white flags. I will never forget that scene. Besides, it was not only the Liao and Jin who besieged the city, but even the Tubo and Tuoba clan also came to get involved. If there is no connection, I would not You will believe it." Shen Cha sighed heavily, "What's more, it was already winter at that time. According to the custom, it was a truce period. It was impossible to raise troops on a large scale. Therefore, they must have received some information and wanted to take advantage of it. .So, if that person tracks down something and truly shows what happened in those few months, I would still be happy to see it happen."
"She is indeed my sister, and her thoughts coincide with my brother's." Shen Haolin patted Shen Cha on the shoulder, "You can't rush these matters. There are too many aspects involved and too many people involved. Your Majesty has not been able to do it for so many years. We haven’t given up, let’s just wait and see how things get better.”
"Brother is right." Shen Cha raised his head and took a look and found two people walking towards them from a distance, "Jiu'er and Qiu Zhi are here."
"Don't let any air about this matter." Shen Haolin looked at Shen Jiu, who was waving to them, "Don't say anything to anyone. When His Majesty's people are in place, withdraw all your people and don't get involved again. "
"yes."
"Okay, relax, no matter what happens, we can bear it, right? Look at how many ups and downs our Zhenguo Palace has gone through from the founding of Daxia to the present. If there are a few more, we can You're not afraid either." Shen Haolin reached out and gently pinched Shen Cha's serious face, which was almost paralyzed, "Smile, don't let Xiaojiu worry about you."
"Brother, if I laugh, Jiu'er will be worried."
"That's right." Shen Haolin looked at Shen Jiu, who was chewing something while walking, and curled his lips in disgust, "I see, Xiaojiu's height is probably set. No matter how much he eats, , I’m afraid it won’t grow much longer.”
"How will you know if you don't try?" Shen Cha raised an eyebrow, "I don't know when this child's appetite has become so big. Is there any problem? Look at Xiao Min, he can't finish it all day long. No, but you are a tall person. Qiuzhi is the same, he is not small. Where did Jiuer eat all these things? If you really don’t grow taller, how will you find a wife in the future! "
"Hey, this is your prejudice. How can a good man be judged by his height? Our Xiaojiu is also a famous general, and there are many people who like him. If he wants to find a wife, then why not It's not easy! Unfortunately, this kid doesn't have that thought. Last time I asked him what kind of girl he likes and tell him a wife. He said why he likes girls, not to eat or drink, but also to It's not worthwhile to care about her food and drink." Shen Haolin said happily, "He is still a child, it's too early to talk about kissing!"
