Chapter 691 needs to be changed.

When Shen Liuzhen came in, Xie Yuan was sitting under the shade of a tree, gently lifting his knees with his hands and moving slowly.

As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Shen Liuzhen holding an airs, with a smile on his face, so he was stunned for a moment, and asked:

"What did you do wrong?"

Shen Liuzhen's footsteps stagnated inconspicuously, and then relying on his years of disguise experience, he covered up the past, made himself more relaxed, and asked without changing his face:

"Why do you say that?"

Xie Yuan didn't look at him, but moved his legs, lowered his head and said:
"We grew up together. Can't I see that you are smiling? What have you been doing?"

Shen Liuzhen felt a little nervous in his heart, thinking: A Yuan has become more and more discerning. When she was in the Song Dynasty, she was still troubled by those big things, so she didn't care much about his emotions and reactions.Now that she doesn't have so many burdens, and the two of them live in the same yard, I'm afraid there is nothing that can hide from her...

It's getting harder and harder to tell an innocuous little lie.

Shen Liuzhen lifted the hem of his clothes, sat down beside her obediently, and said:

"It's okay, I just went to send that He Lanxiao off."

Xie Yuan raised his head when he heard this, and looked at Shen Liuzhen suspiciously for a while, thinking that he must not be so kind, and went to see him off, thought for a while and said:

"Liu Zhen, since the law has been sentenced, it is a sentence, and since it is about to be fair, you don't want to trouble others in private."

Shen Liuzhen let out a "hmm", not daring to say that he didn't have one, so he changed the subject and asked:
"A Yuan, how's your leg? Why hasn't it healed after being swollen for so long? Every time I see it, I hate it so much..."

Xie Yuan sighed and said:
"It's not a big problem. It's just a hole in the bone, and it's not broken. Don't you know? It's a wound that will be red, swollen and scarred. It's just horrible."

She looked up at Shen Liuzhen, a little worried, and told him:

"I don't want you to use lynching to bend the law for personal gain because of me. You are now an important minister in the court. How many eyes are watching, even if you are not doing the country's righteousness and being a role model for the world, you should restrain yourself and use less. Vicious methods. After all..."

Xie Yuan paused, she thought of something in the book that was similar to being kind to others, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

So for a while, he showed a look of thinking and recalling, and asked:

"Just...doing good deeds and accumulating virtue will be beneficial, how do you say that?"

Shen Liuzhen took the words and asked: "...a house with good deeds must have lingering celebrations, and a house with accumulated evils must have lingering disasters?"

Xie Yuan responded, "Yes, that's the sentence..."

After she finished speaking, she sat up straight, moved her shoulders and neck in a steady posture, and said with some impatience:
"Anyway, you must know more than I do, think for yourself."

Shen Liuzhen watched her movements with admiration in his eyes, and his voice softened, saying:
"It's true that I do a lot of things for my own pleasure, but, A Yuan... Sometimes I think, if everything can be done according to the law, then I'm afraid it will be a prosperous world of rule. There will not be so much dissatisfaction and hatred.

But we are born in troubled times, and injustices abound, which is beyond the control of the law.Just like that He Lanxiao, he is just a small casual general, he has not been on the battlefield for a long time, and has no military exploits, but because of his identity as a Xianbei nobleman, he went around openly looting and looting, so many weak people were framed by him But he dared not say anything, if he had followed the law, he would not have been as arrogant as he is today..."

Shen Liuzhen paused and said:
"If the law is useless, shouldn't insidious and despicable methods be used? Then don't these bad guys want to sit back and relax and live arrogantly and domineeringly to death?"

Xie Yuan paused, she lifted the hem of her clothes and sat down again, looked at Shen Liuzhen and said sincerely:

"I'm not a pedantic person. In fact, you did a good job this time. No matter how tortuous the process was, it was on the bright side that you punished that person with the law and showed many people the hope of Hu Han's equality. This It's much more meaningful than how you tortured that He Lanxiao in private and vented your personal anger.

There is a difference between good and evil, and means can be used, but it has to be a last resort. If it becomes a habit, wouldn't it become the kind of person you hate the most? "

Seeing that Shen Liuzhen didn't speak, she said again:

"Anyway, I think that you have to be careful. The goal we are going to take is so big. The goal is to create an orderly world of great governance. If the person who treats the disease gets sick first, who will believe you? Will support you again?"

Shen Liuzhen listened with lowered eyes, sighed for a while, and said sincerely:

"You're right, it seems that I have to get rid of my small belly.

Xie Yuan looked at him and smiled, rubbing his knees with his hands, but didn't speak.

Seeing her expression, Shen Liuzhen obviously didn't believe it, so he couldn't help laughing too, and said:

"why are you laughing."

"It's okay." Xie Yuan didn't challenge him, and responded perfunctorily, and it was over.

At this time, some voices came from outside the yard. It turned out that someone had come to the door, and was stopped by the guards of the yard.

Shen Liuzhen stood up, walked outside, and saw Lingxiu standing at the door, arguing with the two guards of the courtyard.

Shen Liuzhen turned around with a headache, trying to pretend he didn't see it.

Then I heard Lingxiu outside shouting loudly:

"Patriarch...it's me, Lingxiu. We have rehearsed the dance music you asked us to rehearse in the past few days. I'm here to invite you to watch it with General Xie."

Shen Liuzhen couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore, so he could only make a sound, and asked someone to let her in, and then said:

"Practice more after you arrange it. Didn't I say that it will be shown to others when we invite important guests at the next banquet. What do we see by ourselves? It doesn't matter. You just need to do your own things well... Come back."

Lingxiu wiped the sweat off her forehead with some grievances, glanced at Xie Yuan behind Shen Liuzhen, and said pitifully:

"I heard that General Xie was injured, and I practiced desperately. I came here only when I felt good enough. I wanted to make General Xie happy so that I could forget about the pain on my body."

Before Shen Liuzhen could speak, Xie Yuan stood up and said:

"Oh, thank you for your concern. It's actually not a big deal. You see that you are so tired that your head is covered with sweat. It's such a hot day. Be careful of getting caught in the heat. Go back and rest."

When Lingxiu heard this, she lowered her head slightly, walked a few steps step by step, then turned around and ran back, like a light swallow, dragging her dance clothes, "whoosh" from Shen Liuzhen's side After passing through, she knelt down in front of Xie Yuan, and Lihua cried and begged in the rain:
"General Xie, you should redeem me under your name, I'm afraid that the next time there is a banquet, the owner will give me to someone else, I don't want to be sent around, who knows who I will meet? At that time, whether I will be abused or not, and whether I will have my life are the same thing. Help me, I just want to follow you, General..."
