"Aluo!" Shen Moran was afraid that he would be late and couldn't find her, so he came to the door early in the morning. When he saw her disheveled hair and a confused look on her face, he came over and joked, "Last night, was it... what happened? How does it feel? how? "
Si Yiluo rolled his eyes.
"Master Si, I will help you wash up."
Wei Chen came in with face wash and looked well-behaved.
Si Yiluo ignored Shen Moran's gossipy eyes, looked at the young man, and asked: "Your grandfather was convicted and imprisoned because he supported King Min..."
King Min is the reverse scale on Emperor Yao that cannot be touched, but others cannot touch it, which does not mean that Si Yiluo cannot.
The mansion she lived in was the former palace of King Min. Although it was only seventeen years old and many places were dilapidated and in need of repair, this favor also showed that she was special.
The young man turned pale with fright and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
This formation stunned Shen Moran.
"Aluo, what were you doing before you mentioned it? It scares others..."
Si Yiluo wiped his face and said softly: "Get up, I probably know a little about your family's affairs. If it weren't for the elders' crimes, you should have been the noble son. In the Si Mansion, you don't have to be so groveling."
Shen Moran joked: "Aluo, you know you feel sorry for people..."
Wei Chen was about to kneel down again but was stopped by Si Yiluo. She glared at Shen Moran and said comfortingly: "What I say is what I say. There is no need to guess the meaning of the words. I don't mean anything else."
She just thought of Wei Heyan. His Royal Highness, the King of Han, had a noble status. How could he be reduced to being groveling and tolerant of grievances?
Although she had followed him for many years, she didn't even know the secret of his identity. What was the reason for his grievance and forbearance?
The young man's heart felt hot, and he bowed and said, "Yes, I will listen to my lord!"
Despicable people can easily give their sincerity because of a momentary emotion. Si Yiluo didn't notice it. Shen Moran's eyes were wandering around Wei Chen and her, and she used a round fan to block her nose. There was a smile in her eyes.
"What brings you here today?"
Si Yiluo dismissed Wei Chen and put on official uniform himself.
Shen Moran held her chin and said: "Aluo, you can't be so heartless. I'm here to inform you that Jiang Si's appointment documents have been approved. Right Minister of the Ministry of Revenue——"
The words "please praise me" were written all over her face.
Si Yiluo saw her little thoughts.
"After being promoted to four levels in a row, the level of hatred he attracts is probably as good as mine. Do you doubt him?"
If it were not for suspicion, he would not push people to the stage. Shen Moran looks innocent and cute, but in fact he grew up eating lotus roots and has countless holes in his heart.
"When Jiang Si seeks power, he has to pay a price. It just allows him to prove his loyalty. But he has only jumped four levels in a row, which is far behind what you did back then. You can gain a firm foothold in the court. If he We’ve been screwed over, we don’t need to support someone else, it’s just a good time to replace him!”
Si Yiluo was dressed neatly, and the two of them moved to the side hall.
"Did you tell Xiang Shen that Jiang Si is mine?"
Shen Moran said proudly: "The Ministry of Personnel is in the hands of Shen Panxing. If he wants to promote anyone, he only needs to say hello, but it is difficult for us. The Ministry of Finance is the money bag of the imperial court, and everyone sent there will be discounted." Inside. Now there is someone who is fighting for him and can sell you a favor. He is planning very well!"
Si Yiluo frowned. In this way, Jiang Si became the target of the courtiers.
But Shen Moran is right, the court is always divided into winners and losers. There are many people who are promoted today and lose their heads tomorrow. Once ability and status do not match, there are people waiting to eat steamed buns with human blood.
"Then let's do this."
Aunt Chen laid out breakfast, and Chen Zhuo ran over and sat down at the table.
"Sister Aluo, didn't you say that those in the backyard should go to the back garden to open up wasteland and grow vegetables? When will it be implemented? I will watch them then!"
"You're so clever!" Shen Moran knocked on his forehead, "I grew up like a flower and my hands were used to play the piano and write. Only your sister Aluo can come up with such a damaging trick! "
Chen Zhuo was unconvinced and said: "They are as beautiful as flowers and jade, and I am not bad either! I am only ten years old, and I can carry sacks weighing dozens of kilograms. They can all grow taller but not stronger, and carry a bucket." It takes a lot of effort to get water, but it’s also hard work to raise it!”
"The rules of our office are not to keep idle people! If anyone doesn't want to work, I will kick them out!"
Shen Moran pouted and said coquettishly towards Si Yiluo: "Aluo, you don't care about him. If I say one thing and he says three, do I still have a status in the Si Mansion..."
Si Yiluo was so numb that she had goosebumps all over her body, and the buns no longer tasted good in his mouth.
"Fenghuaxueyue can't be used as food. I think Chen Zhuo is right. Let's start today to clear out the land and grow some radishes and cabbages. There will be no need to buy them this winter!"
Shen Moran said speechlessly: "You are a dignified third-grade official, do you need these few food dollars?"
"Que, why is there no shortage?" Chen Zhuo took a mouthful of steamed buns and argued, "Sister Shen, you may not know that you grew up in the capital. When we were in Guancheng, we didn't even have enough food to eat. Military pay was often not paid. How could we It’s good if you have a stutter, we’ve all gotten used to it carefully!”
After Si Yiluo finished eating, he put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up and said, "I have to go to the Yamen. You can eat."
Shen Moran never knew that Si Yiluo lived such a life, and couldn't help but said with heartache: "Aluo, I..."
"Stop it!"
Her innocent eyes were filled with water mist, which was so touching that Si Yiluo hurriedly grabbed the saber and went out. Shen Moran is made of water, she is made of cement, and he couldn't stand her tears.
At the door opposite, Si Hai was inspecting the carriage.
"Good morning, Sir Si!" Si Hai smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes. "Sir, please wait a moment. Our governor will be out soon."
Last night Emperor Yao asked Wei Heyan to keep an eye on the whole process, and he wanted to go to prison with her.
It rained all night, and the sun came out again this morning, but the air was fresh and cool, which made me feel happy.
After waiting for a cup of tea, Wei Heyan arrived belatedly.
She looked better than yesterday. After what happened last night, Si Yiluo thought he would invite her to ride in the carriage. Unexpectedly, he didn't even look at her and went straight into the carriage.
Sihai put a thick cushion under his buttocks and sat outside to talk to her.
"Let's go."
Si Yiluo rubbed the tip of his nose and got on his horse.
The curtains at the four corners of the carriage were hung down. Si Yiluo glanced at the rippling gauze curtains from the corner of his eye and rode forward.
The gauze curtain is very thin, but due to light problems, it is not clear what is going on inside from the outside, but people outside can be clearly seen from the inside.
Wei Heyan saw her peeking at him, and then saw her galloping away, and his breath caught in his chest again.
The carriage drove for about a quarter of an hour when the sound of horse hooves sounded from behind.
The gate of the prison.
Wei Heyan held Si Hai's raised hand and looked up at the gate of the prison. He had only let go for a few months, but when he came back, he felt a strange feeling.
Si Yiluo handed him a wax pill.
"What's this?"
His eyes were drawn towards him.
Wei Heyan didn't like taking medicine or seeing a doctor, so Si Yiluo bought her some pills with the intention of giving it a try.
"Baohe Pills are not bitter. The air is not good down there. I'm afraid you might feel nauseous later."
Did she leave just now to buy medicine for him?
The breath in Wei Heyan's chest finally became smoother. He took the wax pill and pinched it. He put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it to make sure there was no bitter taste before putting it in his mouth.
Sihai hurriedly poured some water and handed it over.
Interrogation has always been Miao Cong's strong point. He started the interrogation last night, first interrogating his subordinate leaders, and finally interrogating Gong Xichun.
When Si Yiluo arrived, he had just stayed up a long night, his face was a little swollen, but he was still in good spirits.
"Sir, Lord Governor, this is the confession made last night. Gong Xichun has been sentenced to three types of punishments, but he has not been punished yet."
