Silently staring at the Railing Courtyard not far away.

The sound of silk and bamboo has stopped, but the lights are still bright, and the entire interior of the fence courtyard is still brilliant and brilliant no matter how it looks from the outside.

Qin Sheng was silent for a long time before he said lightly: "Where did those people's remarks come from?" ”

There are very few people on the rivers and lakes who have seen the true face of the master, and even fewer know that the master has never married a wife......

"The subordinates haven't investigated it carefully." The Shadow Hall's subordinate replied, "But judging from the clues obtained by the subordinates, it should have been transmitted from Great Xia." ”

Great Xia?

Qin Sheng frowned slightly, but he knew it in his heart.

The people in the rivers and lakes have no fixed residence, and the four seas are their homes, and it is not surprising that such rumors have spread from Great Xia to Yinzhou.

Moreover......

Qin Sheng thought of the time when he went to Great Xia nine years ago, and the master killed the Great Xia National Master in the priest's hall - that time the master showed his face in front of the Great Xia Emperor and let the other party know his identity.

Although Qin Sheng was only by Di Xiu's side at the beginning, and the two did not have much intimacy, the rumors never needed to chase after the wind and shadows, and did not need much empirical evidence.

And over the years, the Lord of the Nine Pavilion has never reported the news of marriage, and some people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic will add fuel to the fire, and it is not impossible to speculate in private.

"What is the relationship between the old bustard of the Yilanyuan and the prefect of Yinzhou?" Qin Shang raised his eyes, and his gentle eyebrows rarely showed a little coldness.

"The seventh concubine of Luo Kun, the prefect of Yinzhou, is the sister of the old bustard in Yilanyuan, and she is also the most favored of all Luo Kun's wives and concubines." The subordinate of the shadow hall replied, "This old bustard's daughter has made a marriage with the son of Luo Zhifu, so the relationship between the two families is very close. ”

Very close?

Qin Shang sneered, what is really close is not the in-law relationship between the two families, but the benefits brought by the in-law relationship.

The prefect secretly supported him, and the old bustard used the one-third of an acre of land in the Lanyuan to collect money openly, and how much filial piety was drawn from the ill-gotten wealth earned to this sister-in-law and in-law......

Benefit-sharing.

Only in this way can this layer of in-laws and partners in collusion between government and business last for a long time.

"Childe." The subordinates of the Shadow Hall respectfully asked, "Is the Railing Courtyard uprooted?" ”

Uproot?

"Of course not." Qin Shang's eyebrows were slightly cold, staring at the gorgeous carved windows on the opposite side, "If all of them are destroyed, you will feed those Oiran beauties inside?" ”

Regardless of whether those women were willing or forced to be helpless, in the end, they were innocent lives, and Qin Sheng had not yet moved his anger to the point of killing them all.

The shadow hall subordinates bowed their heads.

"Solve the old bustard of the Yilanyuan and the prefect of Yinzhou." An understatement determines the life and death of many people, "Whether it is their relatives or confidants, all those who are related to their relatives or have interests will be killed, and no one will be left." ”

"Yes."

"Besides, I don't want to hear any more nonsense from here in Yinzhou." Qin Sheng turned his head and stared at his subordinates coldly, "Inform everyone in the Shadow Hall, whether it is Yinzhou or which state, in the future, if you hear someone talking about the Pavilion Master again, you know what to do." ”

The subordinates of the shadow hall respectfully responded: "The subordinates understand. ”

"Go ahead."

"The subordinates retired."

The black shadow flashed, and the men of the shadow hall flew away.

Qin Sheng stood quietly alone in the dark for a long time, her thin lips pursed, and the color of her eyes was complex and unpredictable.

The night breeze is slow, and it can't dissipate the gloom in my heart.

It wasn't until there was a sound of footsteps behind him that Qin Sheng suddenly came back to his senses, and turned his head to look at the white-clothed Emperor Xiu under the lamplight, "Master." ”
