Lu Yan looked at Shen Zhen forcefully and without pity, his thin lips lightly opened, "Three girls, where are you going?"
His eyes were so sharp that she had nowhere to run.
Shen Zhen lowered her head, covered Shen Hong's ears with both hands, and said, "Hong'er, close your eyes too."
Their father taught them not to lie since childhood, so even in this situation, she still didn't want Shen Hong to hear the next words.
Shen Zhen pretended to be calm and spoke calmly, "Just now there was a fire in the house. I saw that the fire was too big and spread everywhere, so I ran out with my brother to report to the officials."
She knew that her words must be full of loopholes, but she still held a glimmer of hope.
Hope he can help himself again.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Yang Zong pressed a soldier and walked over, "Master, I have found someone."
Shen Zhen Wensheng looked over, and after seeing the scar on the corner of the soldier's eyes, his face turned pale instantly, his fingertips were shaking slightly, Shen Hong was a little scared, and could not help whispering: "Third sister, what's wrong with you? Hong'er can open your eyes. Have you opened your eyes?"
Lu Yan glanced at her indistinctly.
According to the laws of the Jin Dynasty, when the Yamen arrested people, they could use hemp ropes or shackles to tie the prisoners to prevent them from escaping halfway. He restrained her hands and said in a calm voice, "Shen Zhen, do you plead guilty?"
—
Shen Zhen originally thought that this Lord Lu would directly press her back to the yamen, but he didn't want to, he actually took her through two main streets and into a deep alley, which was narrow but elegant. courtyard.
Looking up, on the plaque carved from red cedar wood, there are two words - Chengyuan.
There are winding paths in the courtyard, sycamore trees and plantains, ponds and bridges, doors and windows and waterside pavilions, all of which are exquisite. If it comes to spring, there will be a superb view of "Xu Ge Yin Tong, Qing Chi Han Yue".
But Shen Zhen was not here to watch the scenery, the more she looked around, the more uneasy she felt.
However, her hand was tightly clenched by him, and she couldn't use any strength, so she could only continue to move forward with his footsteps.
Until Lanyue Pavilion, he stopped, glanced at Shen Hong, and said to Yang Zong: "Take him to the West Wing first."
Shen Hong has always been very obedient. The five-year-old child didn't cry or make trouble along the way, but seeing that he was about to be taken away, he suddenly kicked his calf with all his might, "Third sister, third sister, where are they taking me to? ?"
Shen Zhen quickly reassured him, "It's okay, Hong'er, you go with this lord first, and the third sister will find you in a while."
Shen Hong's kicking action didn't stop.
Yang Zong knew that his master hated the tossing of children the most, so he hurriedly hugged him horizontally, and whispered, "Little Master, you can meet your third sister in a while, just wait."
After Yang Zong took Shen Hong away, Lu Yan took her into Lanyue Pavilion.
As soon as he entered the door, he let go of her hand, lit the lamp, and said solemnly, "This officer will give you a chance, let's talk."
Maybe it was because he had been an official for a long time, and the momentum of his speech had already been natural.
Therefore, even if there is a canopy bed made of huanghuali wood that is rather ambiguous at the moment behind him, it does not affect his inhumane official prestige in the slightest.
Shen Zhen clenched his fists, not knowing where to start.
plead guilty
How could she admit such a big crime
Can you make excuses
Being caught by him on the spot, how can he make excuses
She frowned and thought, and after a while, she couldn't stand his tortured gaze, so she could only whisper: "Everything tonight was done by me alone, I admit it."
Hearing this, Lu Yan raised the corner of his mouth indifferently, and said, "What are all the things, what are you talking about?"
Shen Zhen Wu bit her lip and her eyes were red, but she refused to weep. Following his instructions, she said softly, "The debt is not paid for the breach of the contract... I absconded in fear of crime."
Speaking of this, she seemed to give up completely, and said, "Since Mr. Lu has caught me, I will no longer quibble. Tomorrow, you can send me to Jin's Qian Yin Shop."
Lu Yan sneered. Send it to the money shop
He slowly came to her side, put his hand into her skirt, and found a household registration list from behind her without error.
Shen Zhen's pupils shrank, and she immediately reached out to grab it, but this man suddenly raised his head, not letting her succeed at all.
Due to her stature advantage, even if Shen Zhen stood on tiptoe, she was still out of reach.
Lu Yan shook the paper and put it in front of her, saying word by word, "Counterfeiting documents, tampering with household registration, arson privately, and bribing officials, what do you think should be the crime?"
When he heard this, Shen Zhen was completely panicked.
In those eyes that were as clear and translucent as elk, there was panic, and a little cold sweat appeared on the forehead.
It turned out that he knew everything.
If he goes on like this...
Mammy An, eldest sister, no one can keep it.
After a while, his deep voice slowly spread out over her head, "Just for this one item of falsely writing official documents, the punishment can be exiled for 2,000 miles. I've passed." Having spent many years in the turbulent court, he knew too well that what kind of words would break a person.
Not to mention a sixteen-year-old girl.
Shen Zhen's body was weakened by what he said, and his heart collapsed, almost unable to stand, and tears rolled in the circles of his eyes.
Lu Yan stretched out her hand, pulled her chin back, forced her to face herself, and said with bright eyes, "Shen Zhen, why do you think I brought you here?"
Shen Zhen met his oppressive gaze, and his heart was as chaotic as playing a drum.
Yes, why didn't he take her to Jingzhao Mansion
Instead, he came to a private mansion.
Thinking of this, she suddenly realized that what he was wearing today was not the dark purple official uniform, but a black cloak.
She suddenly guessed what his eyes were implying at the moment.
Shen Zhen's face was pale, and some answers were about to come out, but she didn't dare to think further, not even a little bit.
The two are very close. Lu Yan, a man who has ulterior motives, naturally doesn't care, but Shen Zhen is different. Since she guessed his intention, she can no longer smell the sandalwood fragrance on him. .
There was a wall behind her, and there was no way out. In desperation, she raised her two small hands, pressed them against his chest, and called out inaudibly, "Sir."
Her voice was mournful and full of supplication.
Immediately, her golden bean finally fell involuntarily.
As soon as she burst into tears, Lu Yan frowned.
As soon as a drop fell, his chest was like being smashed by someone, and another drop was even worse.
Since he met her, he has suffered from this irritating and strange disease, but today he has discovered some rules. It seems that as long as she cries hard, he will be in more pain.
She can't cry together, can she
He looked up at the beam of the house and grinned through gritted teeth.
Yes, Lu Yan took a step back.
He patiently waited for her for a long time. Seeing that she had no intention of stopping, he frowned slightly and said coldly, "If you cry again, I will go to Li's house to arrest people tomorrow morning." Li's family is talking about Li Dizhi. Home, he is Shen Zhen's eldest brother-in-law.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the sobbing stopped suddenly.
Shen Zhen forced herself to be calm, and she must not offend him, so she swallowed her tears abruptly.
The throat is sore.
After a while, Lu Yan saw that her shoulders were no longer shaking, so she opened two boxes, which were full of copper coins.
"These are eight thousand sticks." Lu Yan said.
Eight thousand kan, which happened to be the debt owed by the Shen family.
Shen Zhen raised her head, "Lord Lu, what does this mean?"
Lu Yan casually placed the candle on the table, and looked at her in a leisurely manner.
"It's curfew outside. You and I can't go out tonight. There's a lot of time. You can think about what I mean." He didn't like someone pretending to be confused in front of him.
He didn't give her such a large sum of money to make her pretend to be stupid.
Shen Zhen bit her lip repeatedly.
She suddenly realized that her current situation was not much different from being in court.
If she was wrong, he might not give her a second chance.
He is different from King Teng and the shopkeeper of Jin's Qian Yinpu. Not only does he have the money, he also has her handle. As he said just now, who wrote the document out of the city, he knows exactly who it is, whether to check it or not, it's all in his mind.
She had no choice at all.
Thinking of this, she suddenly resigned.
She knew that she was not qualified to negotiate conditions, but the matter had come to this point, she could only bite the bullet and said: "Sir, my brother is only five years old, he can't leave me..."
Before Shen Zhen could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a cold voice, "Shen Hong can't stay in Chang'an."
The matter of the Shen family is undoubtedly a trouble in Chang'an.
As far as he knew, the reason why the Marquis of Yunyang, who was serving a sentence in prison, was not allowed to be visited by outsiders, was actually because the sage had given an imperial order to Lord Zhou of Dali Temple.
Emperor Ming, this is interesting.
A sinner who was sentenced to two years in prison and dismissed from his post to hide from the rank, what is it that deserves such a great fight by a saint
Then think about those people in Beijing who can't wait to take Shen Zhen as their own right away. Whether they are looking for money or sex, or something else, it makes people think twice.
Although he had to protect Shen Zhen because of those chaotic dreams, he would not endure more trouble for her.
He glanced at her and said slowly: "There are a lot of people staring at you in Beijing, and there are no two people to hide here. Shen Hong is ill and needs to seek medical treatment from time to time. Do you think that if a doctor travels all day at the entrance of the alley, How long will it take for others to guess that you are here?"
"I will send him to Mr. Chu Xun to be a disciple, and I will also invite a doctor for him." Mr. Chu Xun is a famous family in Yangzhou. Even if the Shen family is still the old Shen family, he may not be invited.
Hearing this, Shen Zhen didn't even have the last concern. But she knows that there is no pie that falls in vain in this world, and all good things have a reason.
"Do you need me to do anything else?" Shen Zhen said in a trembling voice.
Lu Yan was quite satisfied with her knowledge, so she said directly: "I never like crying girls."
Shen Zhen was stunned, and really didn't understand why he said that.
She was able to cry just now, because he was scared...
Lu Yan glanced at her coldly, "Remember?"
Shen Zhen took a deep breath and swallowed all the slanderous words, "I remember."
Lu Yan gave an "um", then looked at her and said, "Do you know who you are?"
Shen Zhen knew his identity, as well as his own.
He knew even more clearly that his mother, Princess Jing'an, would never let him take a concubine before he got married.
So, better.
Shen Zhen lowered her eyes, opened her mouth, and it took a long time before she made a sound, "It's the outer room of your lord."
The author has something to say: I can't be a personal Lu Yan, today is an ATM with no emotions.
