Reborn girl from poor family

Chapter 216 Shang Fang’s Sword? Life-Calling Talisman? (2)

Su Ya folded the letter and put it back to its original place.

The fact that he could see the imperial handwriting with his own eyes seemed inconsequential under the worries about Shen Huai's immediate crisis.

"Shang Fang's sword kills traitors," she looked into Shen Huai's eyes and asked seriously: "If it is to support me, isn't this handwritten letter from the royal family not enough? Why should I give you this Shang Fang's sword?"

"You know a lot," Shen Huai nodded and said with a smile, "However, the emperor can't really do whatever he wants. Look at the righteous faces of Mr. Wang Shu and Qian Yushi, scolding the heavens and the earth. , if I dare to take out this handwritten letter, they will scold me all the way to the imperial court if I don't protect it. There is no emperor in the world who doesn't want to be a wise king, and the current emperor will naturally not seek scolding for himself."

Su Ya: "Then there is also an imperial edict, isn't it enough?"

Shen Huai: "It would be enough for the Emperor to take a strong stance, but it is not necessary. Those actions are inconsistent with the image of our benevolent and upright Emperor."

He smiled playfully, "The affairs here in Huai'an are hugely involved. They involve the private manufacture of weapons, corruption in water transportation, the death of the guard eunuch Li Zhengheng, and the inner court. The officers and soldiers colluded with the water bandits to attack Baima Lake at night, and finally got a court official. A fight in the street is a public spectacle. Our government governs the world with laws and cannot blatantly show favoritism."

Su Ya had witnessed all these incidents. When Shen Huai said something, she was frightened, "So, what is the emperor's intention of transferring you to Dali Temple at this time?"

"It's just to protect me."

Shen Huai breathed out gently, and then he felt that the throbbing in his body finally subsided. He lowered his head and smiled to himself before answering Su Ya slowly.

"Now that I am injured and injured, the emperor does not expect me to work hard anymore. He made me an official of Dali Temple and gave me the sword Shang Fang. This is all for others to see - with this sword here, those who Although people act in accordance with the law, they inevitably have to speculate on the emperor's intentions. In addition, Cao Kaihe left too many clues and I have a little reputation. Probably no one will come to me again and feel unhappy. Just be honest. Just try the case on the spot and judge the crime."

Su Ya frowned, listening to this official sophistication, trying hard to digest it, suddenly an idea flashed, and asked: "You mean, the emperor is worried about the officials here, and is worried that they will deceive the emperor, so even though his face is full of You still follow the rules of the law, but you are placed in the position of supervisor by taking advantage of the functions of Dali Temple?"

Shen Huai looked at Su Ya with admiration. What he said was not straightforward, but Su Ya immediately understood the purpose of arranging him in Dali Temple. This ice-snow and intelligent heart, if he were a man, he would not be a powerful figure.

Seeing his acquiescence, Su Ya frowned more and more, "Then if someone still wants to bend the law for personal gain, aren't you still blocking their way?"

Shen Huai laughed, pulled her to sit next to him, raised his hand and rubbed the back of her head: "Xiao Ya'er is confused when she cares about you, you have forgotten - even if I don't accept this job, I am already in the game, so I should There will be no obstacles in the way."

Su Ya didn't realize that her hair had been messed up by him, but she was still worried: "But you are weak now, how can you do those things that are reviewed and determined?"

Shen Huai looked at her, feeling warm in his heart. He also felt that the messy hair would make outsiders think too much, so he carefully arranged the strands of hair for her and said in his mouth: "Saint Zhouquan, sent another person." A highly qualified Zuosi Cheng from Dali Temple came over to assist, and he can handle all matters including the joint trial of the Three Dharma Divisions. In this way, I can save my face and I can rest assured to recover from my injuries."

Su Ya carefully considered it, her brows relaxed slightly, and she asked: "Do you really only use this Shang Fang sword as an amulet?"

"Yeah, amulet."

Shen Huai determined that this was the focus of her attention, and deliberately followed her thoughts, saying: "There are many talents in the imperial court, and there are many people who want to make meritorious deeds. The emperor has one month to close the case, but I can bring this injured person to justice." Those who have been ill for three to five months will take good care of this little life, stay and fly together with their wife, and throw away those troublesome things if they can."

He had been observing Su Ya's reaction calmly. When he saw that Su Ya was obviously relieved when he heard "one month limit", he didn't care about the "two nights and two nights" in the second half of the sentence, and he seemed to have something to say. He looked at the sword thoughtfully.

——What is the connection here that makes Su Ya so nervous?

He opened his mouth to speak, but the sound of soft footsteps came from outside, accompanied by Liu Sandian's cheerful voice: "Oh, I haven't had such fragrant rice porridge in a few days, but I'm so greedy! Hurry, hurry, hurry, Bring me one."

While we were talking, someone had already stepped through the door.

Su Ya immediately jumped up from the edge of the bed and stood three steps away.

Shen Huai couldn't help laughing. He didn't know who the person who caught him kissing just now knew how to avoid suspicion now.

"Get married." He nuzzled his lips at her and reminded her in a breathy voice.

Su Ya wrinkled the tip of her nose, gave him a cursory look, and made a gesture of silence. After all, she temporarily suppressed the panic caused by Shang Fang's sword.

The deadline given by the imperial court is only one month. After the case is solved and the crime is concluded, Shang Fang's sword will be taken back. There is still some time until July, so just be careful and pay attention.

Mrs. Yan walked around the blue gauze cabinet and came in to see Shen Huai sitting by the bed. He looked up and said immediately, "Why did you get out of bed? Are you still wearing such thin clothes? Be careful to keep out the cold!"

"It's okay..." Shen Huai was very obedient and turned around to get some clothes and put them on.

Mrs. Yan quickly stopped her, "Hey, lie down quickly and eat in this room." Then she said to Su Ya, "Xiao Ya, come out and get it."

"Oh, okay." Seeing that Gao Jun had followed him in, Su Ya followed Yan to the outside.

The job of serving porridge had already been taken over by Liu Sandian, and Mrs. Yan had no intention of competing. Instead, she pulled Su Ya out of the door.

"Mom," Su Ya was a little surprised, "What's wrong?"

Mrs. Yan looked around, then took Su Ya a few steps to the side, and whispered: "Xiao Ya, just now in the kitchen, someone came to talk to me, pestered me, and asked Many things about you and Shen Huai."

"Is it the cook in the kitchen?" Su Ya frowned. There was no shortage of inquiring people everywhere, but she didn't expect the servants in the governor's house to be so unruly.

"It doesn't look like that," Mrs. Yan shook her head and said, "The fingers look like peeling onions, with thin skin and tender flesh. She is young, so she doesn't look like she is doing rough work."

She thought for a while and then added: "The cook in the kitchen seems to respect her very much and doesn't dare to let her help."

"Where's Gao Jun?" Su Ya asked thoughtfully, "Didn't he accompany you there? Were you there at the time?"

Yan said: "The cook led us to a single room in the kitchen that specializes in vegetarian food. She also told us that according to the rules of the Kadu Mansion, men are not allowed to enter the kitchen. Gao Jun was invited to the hall to watch tea. Gao Jun did not go. Standing in the yard."

Su Ya thought about the bastards that Mrs. Qiu sent to the Su family courtyard, and her expression became a little ugly, "Then they don't respect you?"

Those who live in the Governor's Mansion, those with tender skin and tender meat, those who can run to the kitchen and ask questions, I would like to know who they are.

"It's not bad, I just pretend to be stupid and don't understand anything. They can't do anything to me," Yan said: "Besides, Gao Jun is standing outside, like a javelin, it's very... Even though I am so powerful, no one dares to do anything to me."

"But the person who went back to our house last time?"

"no."

This doesn't mean anything. There are so many servants in the Governor's Mansion. Since he has the intention to cover it up, there is no need to send back the same group.

Su Ya pondered, and heard Mrs. Yan say again: "However, before leaving, they brought a cup of stew, saying that it was specially stewed by experts in the house, and asked me to use it to replenish Shen Huai's body."

"Did you answer it?"

"Yes," Mrs. Yan showed her usual gentle smile, "If you don't, a lot of things will happen. Should I just follow Shen Huai whether I want to drink or not?"
