It would actually be best if Yang Cong could die directly in prison.
But since Magistrate Zhu failed to resist Yang Shu's temptation, Yang Cong would probably be rescued smoothly, but based on Yang Cong's current appearance, it was actually no different from dead.
Shen Qingyun was just a little disappointed, but the result was not beyond his expectation.
Just after returning to Zhuangzi, Shen Qingyun received the news sent by Song Ying. Shen Qingyun was slightly surprised after reading it.
"This old guy is really good." Shen Qingyun chuckled and said: "I thought I had picked myself clean enough, but what's the use of just guessing? Without evidence, can you still 'frame' me?"
Shen Qingyun didn't care about this and just asked Song Ying to pay attention to Yang Shu's next step.
Now that Yang Shu has determined that Shen Qingyun harmed Yang Cong, it is definitely not enough to rescue Yang Cong. He must also take revenge on Shen Qingyun.
Shen Qingyun was a little curious as to what methods Yang Shu would use to deal with him in Liangzhou City.
Is it the same conspiracy as Yang Cong, or will he take advantage of Yang's limited influence in Liangzhou?
No matter which way, Shen Qingyun could not imagine what threat Yang Shu would pose to him.
The only possibility is that Yang Shu persuaded the direct descendants of the Yang family to come forward. In that case, it might be a bit of a threat to the Shen family.
But will Yang's direct descendants stand up for Yang Shu without "evidence"?
This is a debatable question.
"Since Yang Shu has so boldly approached Magistrate Zhu, should I also give Magistrate Zhu some eye drops?"
Shen Qingyun rubbed his chin and made a calculation.
Although I don’t know what conditions Yang Shu used to impress Magistrate Zhu, but since Magistrate Zhu agreed, he would definitely bend the law for personal gain. Wouldn’t this happen to be in the hands of the Seventh Department?
Shen Qingyun heard Yue Lianshuang say that the chief of Liangzhou was killed by Zhuge Yan, and now Liangzhou Seven Divisions are in charge of the envoy. Originally, after Zhuge Yan's matter was settled, the main force of Seven Divisions in Liangzhou would be dispersed again. But because the Jin Yiwei showed up in Xiayang Village last time, there are still a large number of Qibu Chazi left in Liangzhou City.
"Yang Shu is really brave enough to dare to contact the county magistrate of Yicheng so blatantly, but how to contact the people of Qibu is also a problem..."
For ordinary officials, without a clear purpose, it is a serious taboo to communicate with people from the Seventh Department without authorization.
Originally, Shen Qingyun had already stayed in the Seventh Department because of Zhuge Yan's matter. It was Yue Linshuang who helped to handle the matter. Now that Yue Linshuang has left, if Shen Qingyun continues to commit crimes, he is asking for it. Trouble.
This is much more serious than the consequences of offending Yang Shu, Yang Cong and his son.
After thinking about it, Shen Qingyun gave up the idea because it was really not worth the gain.
"It doesn't matter if Yang Shu saves the person. After all, the father and son are reunited, which is a gratifying and congratulatory thing. A gentleman should have the beauty of adulthood."
Shen Qingyun had no choice but to be a gentleman for once.
Perhaps Magistrate Zhu was still hesitating and did not make any move for several days.
From what Song Ying said, it seemed that Yang Shu was not in a hurry. He just sent people to the prison every day to serve Yang Cong, and he never met Magistrate Zhu again.
Shen Qingyun thought that Yang Shu might have done this on purpose. If Magistrate Zhu had let him go as soon as he arrived, it would have been easier for him to talk about it. After all, this was Liangzhou City.
But it doesn't matter, since Yang Shu hasn't targeted him yet, Shen Qingyun doesn't bother to pay attention to him.
A few days later, the small workshop also brewed the first batch of wine.
Shen Qingyun held it up to his nose and smelled it. The smell of alcohol was very strong. He took a sip and it was very rough.
Shen Qingyun rubbed his hands and poured the newly brewed rough wine into the steamer to prepare for purification.
"Old Seven, add more firewood."
As the temperature inside the retort continued to rise, white steam filled with the smell of alcohol soon filled the entire room.
If you are too drunk, you will probably get drunk just by smelling it.
"bitter?"
Soon, Shen Qingyun got the first bowl of distilled wine, dipped some of it in his finger and put it in his mouth. The bitter taste made Shen Qingyun frown.
Although the smell of alcohol was indeed strong, it was completely different from what Shen Qingyun imagined.
"Is there something wrong with the utensil?"
Shen Qingyun immediately checked the retort, "There is something wrong with the sealing. It may be that the air has contaminated the wine. I don't know if the kiln master can fix it..."
Zhong Qi and Qiao'er looked at Shen Qingyun who was muttering in a low voice and looked at each other, but no one stepped forward to disturb him.
"Lao Qi, go get me the drawings."
Zhong Qi quickly sent the drawing to Shen Qingyun, and Shen Qingyun took a charcoal pen from the mouth of the stove and began to draw lines.
After just three or two strokes, Shen Qingyun returned the drawing to Zhong Qi, "One more trip and let the kiln maker seal all the places I drew without leaving any gaps."
Zhong Qi nodded and turned to leave.
Shen Qingyun looked back at the bitter wine and poured it to the ground.
"It seems that the Crown Prince has failed. I'm still waiting to drink from the Crown Prince." Zhuge Yan appeared at the door at some unknown time.
Shen Qingyun touched his nose and said with a smile: "It is always a process of exploration. If it succeeds in one try, I will be surprised. Don't worry, since I said it, I will definitely do it."
Qiaoer saw that Shen Qingyun's nose was stained with black spots and quickly stepped forward to wipe it for Shen Qingyun.
He seemed to realize that such a move was a bit intimate, and quickly retracted it.
Shen Qingyun just smiled when he saw this.
"How is your injury?"
Zhuge Yan shook his head, "The external injury is almost healed, but the internal organs are recovering very slowly and the internal energy cannot be gathered. I'm afraid it will take some time."
Shen Qingyun said: "Don't worry, the four masters of Yulin Mountain left by the princess are enough to scare the Jin Yiwei so that they don't dare to show up. There are also Lao Zhang and others patrolling Xiayang Village. They can't hide any troubles from them. You It’s safe here.”
"The Jinyi Guards are hiding in the dark. I know very well Xiaojianlin's methods of killing people. It is indeed impossible to guard against it. Yulinshan is indeed Xiaojianlin's nemesis. Just guarding one place is of course more than enough. What I am worried about is not now, but next spring. .”
Shen Qingyun was stunned when he heard this, his eyebrows condensed, he nodded and said: "You are right, the princess said that I will be summoned to the imperial capital next spring, and you will be with me then. The people in Yangcun are all escorted, and if the archers from Xiaojianlin snipe and kill along the way, I’m afraid we won’t be able to resist.”
The arrows of Xiaojianlin are specialized in breaking Gang Qi, but the disciples of Yulinshan are trained horizontally and pose little threat.
But similarly, Yulinshan's lightness skills are mediocre, and the range of his spear is far inferior to that of arrows. If Jin Yiwei chooses to attack Zhuge Yan on the road, even Yulinshan probably won't be able to protect him.
"The Jin Yiwei now know that it is impossible to bring me back to Yan State alive. Killing me is their only purpose. At present, it seems that I am in doom." Zhuge Yan spread his hands with a smile.
Seeing Zhuge Yan's relaxed expression, Shen Qingyun relaxed his brows slightly and said, "Thank you for being able to laugh."
"Now that I am the prince's son, it is the prince who should find a way to solve this problem."
When Shen Qingyun heard this, he laughed and shook his head, "You will find problems for me."
Shen Qingyun looked out the door, "The world is like this, it's suitable to hide your traces, but it's hard to say who is in the light and who is in the dark."
Zhuge Yan didn't know why and didn't answer. Shen Qingyun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will find a way."
Seeing Shen Qingyun's confidence, Zhuge Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.
With this first experience, the kiln master quickly re-fired the steamer according to Shen Qingyun's requirements.
Shen Qingyun struck while the iron was hot and worked until midnight.
After several failures, Shen Qingyun finally got the finished product again.
Placed in front of Shen Qingyun was a bowl of sake that exuded a strong smell, like the taste of Baigan in his memory, and even a little bit offensive.
After taking a lick, there was a familiar feeling on my tongue.
Shen Qingyun's face lit up and he shouted excitedly: "Lao Qi, Lao Qi..."
Zhong Qi was startled by Shen Qingyun and hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Majesty."
"It's done, I'm done..." Shen Qingyun laughed and patted Zhong Qi on the shoulder.
Hearing this, Zhong Qi looked at the wine on the table curiously.
This is a bowl of very clear wine. From the outside, it looks like a mountain spring, and can even reflect people's shadows.
"Try it?" Shen Qingyun gestured to Zhong Qi.
Zhong Qi smelled the aroma of wine and twitched his nose slightly, "Is that okay?"
He hesitated.
Shen Qingyun was looking forward to it, "Of course, try it quickly."
Zhong Qi is not a drinker, but he does like wine. As an aborigine, if he can get Zhong Qi's approval, it will be half the success.
Shen Qingyun stared at Zhong Qi and drank the wine in one gulp.
"How is it? How does it taste?"
Zhong Qi's face was slightly distorted, showing an ugly expression.
Shen Qingyun was shocked when he saw this, "Isn't it still possible?"
"Spicy wine...enough!"
Zhong Qi suddenly opened his mouth and shouted.
"The entrance is extremely spicy, like fire. Once you swallow it, there are two streams of hot air. One reaches the sky, and the other goes straight into the Dantian. It makes people feel extremely refreshed." Zhong Qi pursed his lips and praised. : "This is the wine that a hot-blooded man should drink!"
When Shen Qingyun heard this, his expression suddenly turned happy.
"It's exactly what the prince said. This wine is much stronger than Zuixianjiang. It will cut into the mouth with a knife, so ordinary people are not allowed to drink it."
Shen Qingyun smiled happily and said, "That's good, that's good."
Zhong Qi wanted to speak, but just when he was about to put down the wine bowl, he suddenly felt a dizzy feeling, as if he was drunk, and he staggered, and he was a little unsteady on his feet.
"It's so strong that you won't notice it after drinking it, but it has a strong stamina. It's really a good drink!"
Zhong Qi steadied himself and laughed.
"Good wine, of course it must be good wine!" Shen Qingyun clapped his hands and laughed.
The two of them laughed together, but before Shen Qingyun could give him any instructions, Zhong Qi fell to the ground, and within a moment he could hear a slight snore.
"You're such a bad drinker?" Shen Qingyun laughed and shook his head.
Turning to look at the steamer, Shen Qingyun's eyes flickered.
