Shi Shouxin was impatient and couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked what he wanted to ask: "Master Leng, I apologize to you, and please tell me the truth, was Daji sentenced to death by the officials?

"

"Master Shi!" Princess Lu frowned.

Shi Shouxin cupped his hands and said: "Princess, Zheng En and I kowtowed to each other, but we asked to die in the same year, same month, and same day. Now that he is dead, I am still alive. I can't even protect his biological sister, and I don't even know who he is."

How did he die? How can I still have the dignity to live in this world? If it’s not convenient for you, Mr. Leng, to say it, you don’t have to say it. I will never force you to do so. Of course, if you pity my brotherly relationship with Zheng En, it’s really

To tell you the truth, I, I will be grateful to you forever!" After saying that, he stood up and bowed. He straightened up, his expression was a little sad, and he said sadly: "Actually, even if I know that it was the officials who ordered death, the officials don't want to say

I have no idea why, I just know it in my heart, and I will make it clear to Brother Zheng En after he dies."

After all, even the circles under my eyes were a little red.

Leng Yi glanced at Princess Lu. She happened to be looking at Leng Yi as well, looking a little uneasy. When she met Leng Yi's gaze, she quickly turned away.

Leng Yi coughed slightly and said, "I can't answer Mr. Zhongshu's question about whether Beauty Daji was ordered to die by the officials. What I can tell you is that based on my autopsy, I judge that Beauty Daji died after death."

Accident. What the officials said is true."

Princess Lu breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Leng Yi gratefully.

"But," Shi Shouxin glared: "The editor we invited said that the marks on Daji's beauty's face were more likely caused by someone holding down the back of her head and compressing her from behind! Moreover, Princess Wei's maid Lianqiu saw the official with her own eyes

Home..."

"That's enough!" Princess Lu said angrily: "Shi Shouxin! I brought you here. Did I ask you to come to Master Leng to argue?"

Shi Shouxin had never heard the eldest princess of the Lu Kingdom calling him by her name and angrily scolding him. He stood up in a panic, lifted his robe and knelt down: "The humble minister deserves to die! Please forgive me, eldest princess!"

Shi Baoji also knelt down and kowtowed with his father.

Princess Lu said sternly: "You don't believe what the officials told you. Mr. Leng, who is now responsible for investigating this case, also told you clearly in person that Daji, the beauty, died in an accident, but you still don't believe it. You must think that Daji

Ji Meiren was sentenced to death by the officials, good! Very good! You go to the officials to argue! Go and seek justice for your sister who is a sworn brother! Go and bury your sworn brother! I won’t stop you anymore

!I'm going back to the palace! Lord Leng, you don't need to get acquainted with people like him who don't know the importance of things and don't know what to do. So as not to cause trouble for yourself, anyway, if he makes trouble like this, he is already close to death! You go back

!There are forbidden troops here. They can’t do anything to you! This princess is gone!”

After that, pick up your long skirt, get off it and leave.

It was a serious crime to make the eldest princess so angry that she returned to her parents' home. Shi Shouxin was so panicked that he knelt down and crawled a few steps, blocking the way of the eldest princess of Lu. He kowtowed and said, "Elder princess, please stay. It was Shou Xin who was wrong. Shou Xin was confused for a moment.

Please forgive me, Princess!"

"You're right! You stabbed your good brother in every possible way. What's wrong with being so heroic and courageous? Besides, your head is your own. If you want to throw it away, who can do anything to you?"

Shi Shouxin's face turned red and white, and he just knelt down, not knowing what to say.

Shi Baoji kowtowed and said: "Princess, my father has admitted his mistake, please forgive him. We came here to apologize. The matter has been found out. He died in an accident. The officials are right. Yes.

Father?"

Shi Shouxin suddenly woke up from a dream and nodded quickly: "Yes, the officials and Master Leng are right. Beauty Da Ji died in an accident. I believe it. I won't care about it anymore! Really. I won't care about it anymore."

This is the case!"

Leng Yi also stood up and said: "Eldest princess, please calm down. Master Shi just regrets the death of his sworn brother's sister. He is heartbroken and confused for a moment. After some time, you will slowly accept it."

Princess Lu's anger gradually subsided and she said, "Get up!"

Shi Shouxin and Shi Baoji then wiped the sweat from their foreheads, got up, and stood with their knees bent.

Princess Lu said: "What are you doing standing there? Sit down!"

The two hurriedly sat down again.

Princess Lu said: "Master Leng asked me to introduce him to you. Do you think it is necessary?"

Shi Shouxin quickly put on a smile and said: "It's natural that Shouxin can get acquainted with Lord Leng!"

Shi Baoji also nodded. His arm was in severe pain and he had been holding it back. At this time, he tried his best to put on a smile.

Leng Yi saw his forehead dripping with cold sweat and asked hurriedly: "Brother Shi, what's going on?"

Shi Shouxin said hurriedly: "Quinzi was weak before and beat Lord Leng's guard in the street, but was injured by Lord Leng's guard with his internal force. I came here to accept the crime and begged you to let the guard heal his injury and save his arm. Thank you!"

After that, he bowed his head and angrily scolded his son Shi Baoji: "You still haven't knelt down to apologize!"

Shi Baoji was about to kneel down when Leng Yi hurriedly stepped forward to help him: "I don't dare to take it. I really don't dare to take it. It's because my guard was reckless and he should have treated my senior brother."

Shi Baoji was extremely grateful and thanked him repeatedly.

Leng Yi asked someone to pass it on, and Taoist Wu Mei arrived quickly. After listening to Leng Yi's explanation, without saying a word, he took out a bottle from his arms and handed it to Shi Baoji: "The red pills in the bottle should be taken internally, and the white pills should be taken internally."

Soak it in wine and apply it externally. You are quite smart and know how to find medicine. If you are two days late, your hand will be useless."

Shi Baoji blushed and quickly thanked him and took the porcelain bottle.

Shi Shouxin stepped forward, cupped his hands to Leng Yi and said, "Shouxin has some wine at home. I would like to invite the worthy couple to have a drink at home tonight. Can I please do it for you?"

Leng Yi smiled and cupped his hands and said: "I have long admired your lord's reputation, so I rashly asked the princess to recommend you. I am so kindly invited by your lord, how can I refuse? I will definitely bother you."

"Well, let's make an agreement. We'll welcome you tonight at Shouxin's house! Farewell!"

That night, Leng Yi took Zhuo Qiaoniang, protected by Master Tu You, Taoist Wu Mei and their disciples, and came to Shi Shouxin's house with heavy gifts.

Shi Shouxin had been notified and was waiting at the door with his wife, concubines, and three sons. Princess Lu followed Shi Baoji to greet her at the door.

Leng Yi came down. Shi Shouxin hurriedly stepped forward and handed over his hands: "Master Leng! Thank you for coming!"

Leng Yi was busy being polite, and when he saw the eldest princess of Lu was there, he quickly pulled his wife Zhuo Qiaoniang forward to greet her: "Wei Chen pays homage to the eldest princess!"

The eldest princess of Lu State hurriedly supported her with her hands: "Master Leng, please excuse me. Today, I am the daughter-in-law of the Shi family, not a princess."

Princess Lu took Zhuo Qiaoniang and looked her up and down, and said to Leng Yi: "Master Leng has such a beautiful wife, so he doesn't take her out to walk around much. We all want to get to know his wife." Shi Shouxin and his other two

The wives and concubines of the two sons also came forward affectionately, surrounded Zhuo Qiao Niang, and praised her beauty repeatedly. They praised her for her gorgeous clothes, well-tailored clothes, exquisite jewelry, and countless manners. Zhuo Qiao Niang's pretty face was so embarrassed that she was so embarrassed.

red cloth.

He talked all the way in and reached the inner hall. There was a banquet in the hall. Shi Shouxin asked Leng Yi and his wife to sit at the table. Naturally, Leng Yi did not dare and asked Princess Lu to sit. However, Princess Lu said that she was just her daughter-in-law today.

, sat with the daughters-in-law, and asked him to sit with Shi Shouxin so that they could talk. Leng Yi had no choice but to sit on the table. Shi Shouxin accompanied him aside. Princess Lu took Zhuo Qiaoniang and sat with her.

.

There were already many people in the Shi family, and a large table was filled to the brim.

Shi Shouxin seemed to have really let go of his worries. He kept trying to persuade Leng Yi to drink and say nice things. Leng Yi drank until his glass was dry. He was very happy. Shi Shouxin was born in the army, so he naturally liked him. He also liked Leng Yi.

A little more favorable.

Leng Yi then asked him about the story of how he had followed Emperor Taizu and how the current emperor was conquering the world. This was what Shi Shouxin was most proud of, and he immediately opened up his chatterbox. Then he was drunk and started talking while twirling his beard.

Leng Yi interrupted from time to time to ask some details, and seemed very interested. This aroused Shi Shouxin's interest even more, and he talked endlessly. However, everyone in his family listened to these battle stories.

I have said it hundreds of times, so naturally I am not interested, but I have to pretend to be interested.

He didn't tell a story, but Leng Yi raised his hand in praise and raised his glass to toast. Shi Shouxin was so happy that the glass was dry. By the time it got late at night, he was already quite drunk. Leng Yi then stood up to say goodbye.

Shi Shouxin patted Leng Yi on the shoulder and said, "You are very good. It was my fault before. From now on, we will be a family!"

"I'm also very happy to get to know Mr. Shi!"

"Hahaha, I'll take you out! You don't have to do it, I'll do it!" Shi Shouxin said unsteadily.

His wife, concubines, and children couldn't make him, an old man, work hard, but seeing that he was determined and told Leng Yi about speculation, he naturally didn't dare to disobey, so Shi Shouxin's wife accompanied Zhuo Qiaoniang, while Shi Baoji stayed away.

He followed and watched from a distance. He walked slowly towards the front yard.

Leng Yi's sedan stopped in the front yard. Shi Shouxin patted Leng Yi on the shoulder again and said, "We should move around more in the future."

"Definitely!"

Shi Shouxin looked back and saw that the people following him were far away, then lowered his voice and said to Leng Yi: "Can you tell me the truth, was the beauty Da Ji killed? I don't understand this matter.

I will never die with my eyes in peace!"

Leng Yi also looked behind him and said in a low voice: "Master Shi, why don't you ask the real owner who climbed in through the window late at night?"

Shi Shouxin was stunned and said: "Long Jiong?"

Leng Yi smiled meaningfully, cupped his hands, and said loudly: "Thank you for the kind invitation, and I'll say goodbye!" After that, he got on the sedan chair.

Seeing him getting on the sedan, Zhuo Qiaoniang and others came over quickly. Shi Shouxin's wife personally helped Zhuo Qiaoniang lift the curtain of the sedan. After she got on the sedan, she said goodbye.

The two sedans, surrounded by guards, left the main gate of Shi's house.

Shi Shouxin stared at the door in confusion.

Shi Baoji came over and whispered: "Father, it's cold outside. Be careful of catching cold. It's better to go back to the house."

Shi Shouxin murmured: "Long Jiong...!"

Shi Baoji hurriedly whispered: "What's wrong? Father."

"Just now, Master Leng suggested that I ask Long Jiong! Moreover, he was talking about the real owner who broke in late at night!"

Shi Baoji raised his eyebrows and said, "This means that he also agrees with this statement?"

"Yeah!" Shi Shouxin nodded, "He must have discovered something, but he couldn't tell, so he suggested that I ask Long Jiong."
