The face of the visitor reflected in the firelight was none other than the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, who usually had a bad relationship with Shen Munan.

Shi Shiyong.

Shi Shiyong looked guilty and saluted: "Your Majesty, my subordinate neglected his duty and allowed Miss Zhuo to sneak out."

Shen Munan helped him up: "Get up. I already know about this."

Shi Shiyong was slightly surprised. Chunni came in with a tray, and Shen Munan said: "The weather is cold, and your old illness must be uncomfortable. Let's drink some pear soup first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Shi Shiyong took it with both hands, "You are still thinking about your subordinate's old illness."

Shen Munan waited for him to finish drinking, and then gave him a few pages he got from Zhuo Shangshu: "Look at this. "

Shi Shiyong looked through the light, his expression becoming more and more excited: "Your Majesty, this is..."

"This is what Miss Zhuo used to sneak out to see Zhuo Shangshu and use it to threaten him." Shen Munan flicked the wick, "I originally wanted to ask the censors to work harder and use the Zhuo family's Things have dragged Shangshu Zhuo off his horse, but now that we have something like this, we can get twice the result with half the effort."

Shi Shiyong thought for a while: "Your Majesty, if you let the officials join in the performance and attack in groups, there is no guarantee that the emperor will not be suspicious.

Even if he is not suspicious, the prince will definitely lead him in the direction of suspicion.

It would be better if the prince ordered people to just let the news out. When Zhu Yushi and others heard the news, they would definitely participate spontaneously.

They are the assistants, and the subordinates are the masters. Everything goes as it should, legally and according to procedures, and no one can make mistakes."

Shen Munan raised his eyebrows slightly: "What are you going to do?"

"With these few pages in hand, I humbly go to the prison to meet the Zhuo family and his wife. How can they have the opportunity to obtain so much money if they are in a low-level official position?

There was also a beautiful concubine given away as proof, and it was Zhuo Shangshu who enjoyed it.

Who is the mastermind behind this? Even if it's not Zhuo Shangshu, he can't escape his involvement."

The fierce candlelight reflected Shen Munan's cold eyes: "Let them speak for themselves, and don't leave any clues."

"yes."

Shi Shiyong resigned and left quietly.

He was originally Shen Munan's subordinate, but he left the army a few years ago due to injury. Shen Munan arranged for him to take a position in a county or town near the capital and changed his name.

Three years later, with good political performance, several cases happened in the capital. The former governor of Jingzhao Prefecture was killed at the hands of murderers. Shi Shiyong took charge in the face of danger. After solving the case, he was firmly seated in Jingzhao Prefecture.

Another half year later, Shen Munan returned to Beijing. Due to the excessive ostentation, the honor guard damaged the stone lion in front of the Jingzhao Mansion, and Shi Shiyong intervened.

From then on, the feud between the two became known throughout the court.

Early the next morning, Gu Yunyao was practicing Baduanjin with Yang in the yard, when the boss hurried in from outside.

"Ayao, Erhu just got the news from the street that someone in Zhuo Shangshu's family has died."

Gu Yunyao paused: "Zhuo Shangshu?"

"Exactly," the eldest master continued, "it was said that his concubine was disrespectful to his head wife because of his favor, and the head wife punished the concubine in anger.

The concubine couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide. Zhuo Shangshu was so angry that he said something about his first wife. As a result, his first wife also hanged herself to death."

Gu Yunyao: "..."

"This matter is now being spread on the streets. Lu Shangshu regrets it very much and is very sad. I heard that he did not go to court today."

"He doesn't dare to go to court," Gu Yunyao wiped his hands, "Is his concubine's surname Jiang?"

The headmaster thought for a moment: "It should be."

"It's true that he let me die. His wife was really unjust," Gu Yunyao let out a breath, "This man is quick and vicious. As expected, anyone who can sit in this position is not a fuel-efficient lamp."

"Are you saying there is a conspiracy in this?" the boss asked.

"It must be true. Let's wait and see what the situation is like on the prince's side."

Gu Yunyao was inexplicably angry. This Lu Shangshu was so scumbag!

Just as he was talking, Li Lanhua came to deliver breakfast, which was still three bowls of noodles with side dishes.

Gu Yunyao lowered her eyes and looked at the noodle bowl: "Your skills are indeed good.

Well, go back and pack something, tell the kitchen, and come to work in the yard!

The main thing is to serve my wife and cook something whenever I feel hungry."

"Yes!" Li Lanhua was overjoyed and happily accepted the order and left.

"By the way," Gu Yunyao stopped her again, "Is Grandma Hua's injury better?"

"Go back to Miss Hua. Yesterday, Nanny Hua went back to the kitchen to work. Do you want to ask her to come?"

"No need, you go ahead!"

"yes."

The boss waited for her to leave and asked in a low voice: "Ayao, is there anything wrong with her?

I've been observing for a few days, and apart from the fact that I'm a little timid, there's nothing wrong with her. My sister-in-law really likes to eat the noodles she makes."

"Are you timid? Not necessarily. As for whether there is anything wrong, we will find out later."

The headmaster nodded: "It doesn't matter. She's in the courtyard, so we can observe her better. She's under the nose, and she can't move her hands or feet."

"Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Gu."

After Gu Yunyao finished eating, she felt depressed and wanted to go to Prince Qin's Mansion to see if Shen Munan had returned from the previous court.

I slowly walked out of the yard, wanting to go to the stables to ride a little red horse, and saw Gu Qingwen face to face.

Gu Qingwen said with a bit of a smile: "County Lord."

"What's the matter?" Gu Yunyao looked at her, and this time she was sensible enough to call the county chief.

However, although Gu Qingwen put some rouge on her face to improve her complexion, she still inevitably looked a bit haggard.

And even though there was a smile on her face, there was a fire in her eyes that seemed to tear her apart.

What do you mean? Gu Yunyao thought about it quickly. He had been busy with outside affairs these past two days and had not even taken photos with Gu Qingwen a few times. Where did this anger come from?

Gu Qingwen pursed her lips slightly and took a step forward: "The county master seems to be very busy these days."

"Is it related to you?" Gu Yunyao asked back.

Gu Qingwen paused and said: "County Master, you should keep a low profile. King Qin is a good backer, but..."

"But what?" Gu Yunyao blinked, "What do you want to say?"

"But no one can protect anyone for a lifetime, right?"

The confusion on Gu Yunyao's face turned into realization, and then shock: "You...you actually said that King Qin is a short-lived ghost!"

Gu Qingwen was startled: "I didn't say that!"

"That's what I mean. If you say he can't protect me for a long time, don't you mean that he is short-lived," Gu Yunyao hissed as if he had a toothache, "I will remember you."

"You..." Gu Qingwen could no longer hold back the smile on her face, "Gu Yunyao, don't talk nonsense!"

Gu Yunyao slapped her in the face with her backhand and waved her hand away in pain: "I never told you that if you don't call me the county boss, you will be beaten once if you commit it."

Gu Qingwen covered her face and widened her eyes: "You..."

Gu Yunyao snorted and was too lazy to talk nonsense with her anymore, so she turned to leave.

After taking two steps, Gu Qingwen stopped her again: "County Lord!"

Gu Yunyao turned around and saw Gu Qingwen holding a strange-shaped whistle in her hand, putting it to her lips and blowing with her cheeks puffed out.

The fingerprints on her face were clearly visible, but she ignored them. Her eyes were burning and she stared at Gu Yunyao with hatred, and all her strength seemed to be used on her lips.

Blow hard.

Gu Yunyao wanted to laugh a little.

Is this woman so stimulated that her brain is damaged?

Otherwise, why is this scene so funny?

"What are you playing? There's no sound at all. If you want to show off your talent, you have to practice hard."

Gu Yunyao shook her head: "You are not as good as Gu Qingxue in this regard. Although her talent is not very good, she can still make a sound."

After that, she walked away happily.

Gu Qingwen put down the whistle, stared at her back, then lowered her head and looked at the whistle in disbelief.

how so?
