Chapter 43 Letter and engagement

After walking through the path and repelling the servants, Sun Runnian was stunned when he heard the sound of the piano coming from inside, paused for a moment, and still pushed open the door and walked in.

He was very familiar with this room. Whether it was the lush branches outside, the evergreen branches blocked a lot of light that should have been shining in, or the luxurious layout inside: exquisite porcelain, beautiful coral trees, famous calligraphy and paintings, there were always many singers and dancers in the past. These women were much more obedient and docile than their wives at home, and they were very talented, which made him like it very much... This place is also a very secret place in Xu Shen's family. I heard that except for those close to them and those servants who cleaned at a fixed time, if others came in, they would be secretly dealt with. The Xu family's private prison was notoriously strict.

Even now, the time when we should have been anxiously waiting for the choice of fate, the singing and dancing are still coming to peace, which makes Sun Runnian a little confused, but he respects the county magistrate more and more... He is worthy of being the county magistrate.

When you enter the door, the first thing you see are the three women dancing in the center. The slender and enchanting bodies draw soft curves, and they are bold in their clothes, revealing delicate skin. Because the dance produces a trace of sweat and a hint of ambiguous pink, it makes people unable to remove their eyes. Among them, there is a woman who is familiar with him. She turns back and smiles at him, full of indescribable smell. In addition to the dancing women, there are two singers, one plays the piano and the other hums a small song, with a soft and glutinous voice, which is extremely nice.

Even though Suri often experienced this scene, Sun Runnian was still a little immersed. Fortunately, he knew the purpose of coming here. He stopped for a while, nodded to the woman who smiled at him, and walked towards the main seat inside. Although it was noon, the sun could not come in because of the sunshine. The room was lit with candles, which made people feel dizzy and invisible, but the atmosphere urged people to be drowsy.

Xu Shen was half lying on the couch, holding his favorite concubine in his arms, named Wen Huan. Most of the people who were close to him knew that this was a very favored concubine, and he even took it as a concubine. Now he was calm and exposed. He hurriedly tidy up his clothes to cover up the spring light when he saw Sun Runnian's arrival, but he woke Xu Shen up because of this action.

Xu Shen frowned, looked at Wen Huan with some disgust, let go of her hands, and signaled her to leave here, then looked at Sun Runnian: "How?"

"The news has been spread, but there is still no sign of Mr. Lian." Sun Runnian answered honestly. Although the conversation with his wife that day made him hesitate for a long time, he was obviously increasingly valued by Xu Shen. He gave up the shortcut in front of him and went back to another path. He still couldn't accept it. Moreover, it seems that the Wang family is obviously suppressed. There have been rumors outside that Wang Ning's Wang Shuping is so powerful. Now he is locked in a prison, and it seems that he can't cause any storm.

"What are those people's reactions?"

"Except for the Xie family, who is very close to the Wang family, expressed disbelief, the other aristocratic families have not expressed their opinions yet, and they should still be watching." Sun Runnian replied, "The Duke of Shi'an County and the Marquis of Xinjian County have written a letter. If what they guess is right, the court should go directly to the Inner Shishi Mansion... Wang Biaozhi will be implicated and dismissed from office."

Xu Shen closed his eyes and stretched out his hand to pinch his temple. The candle next to him had burned to a very short time. The light emitted was dim, leaving most of his face hidden in the darkness: "When I went to see Puxiang Zhenren, the real person said that Xu Heng was just a small fuss and would escape first when he encountered any trouble... Now it seems that letting his son come here is just a gesture. Xu Lian should have escaped. All he left here is the refugee army escorting Xu Lian over."

"Then I'll send someone to Xu Heng to ask for it..." Sun Runnian reacted, but was glared at by Xu Shen and stopped abruptly.

"Idiot, even if I go to Xu Heng's place now, I can't find Xu Lian. He can generally say that Xu Lian is still here, but I lost it. Now that it's so urgent, how can I do something wrong again?" Xu Shen stared at Sun Runnian with some regrets, "Zirui, you should look longer. Since Xu Heng gave up me, let him go. In the current situation, there are not many more people, and there are not many people less. On the contrary, the Yu family?"

"Yu Fu has responded." Although he was taught a lesson, Sun Runnian was not depressed because of Xu Shen's closeness in his words. Regarding the Yu family, he has been walking around since Yu's agreement. "Yu Fu and his uncle entered the Inner History Mansion and dragged Wang Biaozhi. Wang Biaozhi has not been moved yet."

"That's good." Most of the good news was heard. Xu Shen breathed a sigh of relief, pointed at the dancers and said, "Things are done well, so let Xiangxiu rest for a while and let you accompany you..."

After hearing what Xu Shen said, the dancer named Xiangxiu retreated from the three-person dance. Her beautiful eyes stayed on Sun Runnian, walked over and leaned against Sun Runnian. Her movements were very natural and skillful, obviously not the first time.

After looking around here, Xu Shen ignored the concubine Wen Huan who was standing awkwardly beside him. For some reason, this concubine who had always been favored by him now has annoyed him and did not want to pay too much attention. He simply broke through the singer and dancer and walked into the courtyard. The waiter outside saw him coming out and hurried past him.

"Prepare your car and go to the county jail."

...

Wang Ningzhi asked the prison guards guarding outside the prison to bring in food and water. He didn't care about the dry, blocked and musty environment. He simply took care of people before. Because Wang Xuanzhi coughed so hard, he could only let him serve the meal. On the way to the prison, he saw Wang Xuanzhi coughing blood with his own eyes, and naturally knew that his elder brother's body was extremely weak. However, in this case, he could not get out of the prison. He could only take care of Wang Xuanzhi as much as possible... He did not ask for rice, but asked the prison guard to cook some porridge. After Wang Xuanzhi finished drinking, he quickly filled his stomach.

In the dark, narrow and sealed space, time often passes very slowly, and every second of waiting seems to have experienced a long emptiness. Wang Ningzhi is fine, but Wang Xuanzhi's emotions have changed a little, but he has been helpless for a long time since Xu Shen's interrogation. Although Wang Ningzhi has been telling him not to be anxious and wait, these words were regarded as comforting words by him. At first, he believed it, but now he is a little worried. It's just that Wang Ningzhi has always been there, making him want to speak but can't open his mouth.

Fortunately, this emotion had not occurred for a long time. With a clang, the long-lost sound of walking came. The next moment, Xu Shen appeared outside the prison again.

"Well... sir, have you ever verified it?" Wang Xuanzhi asked.

Xu Shen shook his head, feeling a sense of regret on his face: "It is really a sin to make Boyuan's virtuous nephew wait for so long, but because the case involves too much and needs to be verified one by one. Although I know that my virtuous nephew is innocent, the most critical task is that your servant has disappeared now, and the cause and effect are very suspicious."

"How could it be? When I left home, the big bull was still at home." Wang Xuanzhi, who heard what Xu Shen said, became excited, but it caused him to cough even more violently. A series of piercing dry coughs made the people around him feel uncomfortable when they heard this, let alone Wang Xuanzhi who suffered personally.

"Don't talk, let me say it." Wang Ningzhi couldn't stand it, stopped Wang Xuanzhi, and then stared at Xu Shen and asked, "I don't know that the lord is so persistent in expanding Taoyuan that he imprisoned me here. Have you ever thought about the consequences if it fails?"

"Yu Fu has already agreed to expand with me, so how could it fail?" Xu Shen was a little surprised, wondering why Wang Ningzhi suddenly said that.

"Haha... After the adults left that day, Brother Zimei had a great time talking to me, and he felt that he would like to meet too late. Did he suddenly cooperate with the adults again? Is it true that he was a fraud?" With a faint smile, Wang Ningzhi narrowed his eyes, "How could he be so confident?"

"Do you want to sow discord?" Xu Shen shook his head disdainfully, stretched out his hand and lit it a few times in the air, and then he said something mocking, "Shuping, you are still young and although you are very smart, this court affairs are not a child's game. For you, you can't do it completely..."

"Oh?" Wang Ningzhi's expression on his face was a little confused, "Listen to the ears."

"Yu Nanzi, the daughter of Yu's family, has a engagement with my son and is about to get married soon. Tell me, is Zimei helping you, who is only one-meeting friend, or help me?"

Wang Ningzhi's face changed drastically, he opened his eyes wide, showing an incredible expression, and his body suddenly jumped forward: "How is this possible? How could it suddenly..."

"How could it be impossible?" Perhaps Wang Ningzhi's performance was no longer as calm as usual, Xu Shen's mood suddenly felt a little excited, and he ignored the Wang brothers and turned around and said, "Since it has not been confirmed yet, it's a pity that you have to wait any longer."

After receiving the order, the prison guard looked at Wang Ningzhi with some sympathy. Wang Xuanzhi's eyes shook his head and followed him out, leaving only the Wang brothers in this huge space.

Wang Xuanzhi sighed, his voice a little sad: "Sure enough, it's still not possible."

"Ha... It seems that my acting skills are good. If I go to film a movie, I guess I will be able to win the Oscar Little Golden Man in that scene just now." Wang Ningzhi smiled teasingly and waved his hand at Wang Xuanzhi, "I was lying to him just now. I didn't expect that even you, brother, have been cheated. It's just a engagement. Even if you really get married, it's not a fear. Even in a certain aspect, it's a good thing..."

...

...

Ruan Qin walked out of the room and handed the tea in her hand to Sima Yi who was standing outside the door. She watched him slowly drink the tea and showed a comfortable expression on her face. Then she smiled and said, "Wang brothers Wang Xuanzhi and Wang Ningzhi plotted to rebel. Xu Shen really dared to say this."

"I'm afraid that this will be the only way to be forced to the dead end. It's a pity that Xu Jinyan, if he didn't take the wrong first step, his future achievements will not be limited... But now, even Yixing Xu family dare not contact him."

"Mr., do you need to push me?"

"Let's talk about it, Wang Shuping... there should be a way to deal with it."
