After marrying a rough man, I played mahjong to support Shoufu

Chapter 267 Grievance
Sighing softly, Shen Xian returned to the bedroom somewhat disappointed.

Pushing open the door, under the faint moonlight, Shen Xian found a figure sitting on the bed.

"who!"

"My lady, it's me." Zhao Shun opened his mouth slowly.

"Sister? When did you come back? Why did you come to the bedroom? Mr. Yan and the others have been waiting for you for a long time."

While speaking, Shen Xian lit a candle.

The dim yellow flames shone brightly, reflecting on Zhao Shun's face, his usually resolute face was replaced by sadness at this moment.

Seeing the sadness in his eyes, Shen Xian was startled, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Xian hurriedly walked to the bedside and hugged Zhao Shun in his arms, thinking that he didn't get the first place in the palace examination.

"Sir, don't be sad even if you don't get the number one prize, the top three are already very good."

Hearing the word number one scholar, Zhao Shun saw Lu Jinnian's appearance again in his mind, and felt a sharp pain in his heart.

"Miss, I won the first prize, the official title of third rank, and now I am the servant of the Ministry of Punishment."

Being a third-rank official is already a great official, Shen Xian looked at Zhao Shun in surprise.

"In that case, why are you still depressed?"

Zhao Shun looked at Shen Xian, and didn't know how to speak. The price he paid for his third-rank official position was quite heavy.

"Today, I killed Lord Lu in the court hall."

Hearing Zhao Shun's words, Shen Xian's heart missed half a beat.

"Lord Lu? Lu Jinnian?"

"Correct."

Zhao Shun's affirmative answer made Shen Xian feel a little absurd, how could this be possible?Lu Jinnian was Taifu Zhao's student, and he had secretly protected Zhao Shun for many years, how could Zhao Shun kill him!

Shen Xian suppressed the puzzlement and shock in his heart, and asked in a hurried tone: "What's going on here?"

The night wind was so cold that she cried like crazy.

Zhao Shun told Shen Xian one by one what happened in the court today.

Knowing that Lu died generously in recent years to pave the way for Zhao Shun, Shen Xian felt grief and admiration.

The bustling world is all for profit, and the temples are all for fame.

People in the world are rushing for fame and fortune, but there are few people who can keep their hearts. However, in recent years, Lu has not enjoyed the glory and wealth, but for the kindness of Zhao Taifu's guidance and hundreds of lives in the Taifu's mansion, what a righteousness it is.

"Master."

Shen Xian stretched out a pair of soft fingers, and held Zhao Shun's palm tightly.

"Since Mr. Lu has made such a choice, he has all the trust in you. You must cheer up with his beliefs, clear up the grievances of the Taifu's residence as soon as possible, get rid of Yu Wenji, and restore the world to a peaceful and prosperous world." .”

"call."

Zhao Shun let out a deep breath, his gaze gradually became firmer.

"My lady is right, this revenge must be avenged, and what Yu Wenji owes us must be repaid bit by bit!"

……

The next day, the imperial list was announced outside the palace, announcing the results of the palace examination.

The three characters of Zhao Tiezhu became the most talked about names in the capital.

In the teahouse, some people whispered to each other.

"Have you heard? The champion of the new department has just entered the official position, and he is a third-rank official, and he has taken the position of Minister of Punishment."

"I've heard that, I've also heard that the exam questions in this imperial examination are very special, and this number one scholar even killed someone in the imperial court."

"Oh? There is such a thing!"

The wind of gossip spread like wildfire, Hongye sent out the teacup, her ears moved slightly, listening to everyone's discussions.

"It is said that the official who was killed wrote an appeal against thieves, listing more than 20 crimes against the regent, and was finally killed by the champion, so he was promoted to a third-rank official by the regent!"

"Heh, this Zhuangyuan Lang turned out to be a sycophant, as worthless as his name."

After hearing what the tea guests said, a chill appeared in Hong Ye's eyes, she didn't expect Shen Xian's husband to be this kind of person, to be the regent's lackey!

Outside the teahouse, the carriage stopped slowly. Today, Shen Xiante came to find Hongye to go to Tianque Tower together.

After learning about Lu Jinnian's affairs last night, Shen Xian was greatly stimulated, and he didn't want to be lazy anymore, so he got up early in the morning, planning to go to the mahjong parlor to collect luck.

Seeing Shen Xian approaching, Hongye's eyes were complicated, thinking about Zhao Shun's actions in her heart, Hongye originally planned to leave.

But thinking about getting along with each other for so many days, Hong Ye was worried that there might be some misunderstanding, so she held back her mood and wanted to ask Shen Xian.

"Sister Hongye, you actually hide here drinking tea. I came all the way and asked a lot before I found you."

"En." Hongye replied, her attitude much cooler.

Shen Xian was stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter? This is, who made my good sister angry?"

Holding the tea bowl, Hong Ye asked in a flat tone: "Let me ask you, did your husband kill a good official in the Golden Luan Hall yesterday?"

Shen Xian was stunned, the faint smile on his face quickly disappeared, and the atmosphere became silent.

"is not it."

Hongye's gaze was only Shen Xian, seeking the root cause.

"Yes..." Shen Xian answered with difficulty.

"Hmph, I understand." Hongye suddenly got up and said calmly, "From now on, you and I will no longer be friends, and I will not be friends with Yuwenji's lackeys."

"Sister Hongye."

Shen Xian called out, her heart full of grievances, she had noticed Hong Ye's hostility towards the Prince Regent before, but she did not expect it to be true.

She was also very heartbroken when Lu died in recent years, and now she was misunderstood by Hongye, and she suddenly felt distressed.

Hongye paused for a moment, then left the teahouse without looking back.

Zhao House.

Since early in the morning, the threshold of the Zhao Mansion has been trampled to pieces.

There was an endless stream of people who came to visit Zhao Shun with gifts, whether they were officials at the bottom or wealthy businessmen in the capital, they all came to visit Zhao Shun.

Zhao Shun refused to accept gifts for those who were not right-minded. As for his colleagues, he treated them with green tea and chatted a few words to leave a good impression.

And some upright officials, when they passed by Zhao's mansion, all spat at the gate's An Xin.

In just half a day, Zhao Shun experienced both honor and disgrace.

According to the procedures of the Ministry of Officials, it takes time to make records for the promotion and acceptance of officials, so Zhao Shun does not need to work in the Ministry of Punishment these days, and can only bear these worldly affairs at home.

Liu Qing looked at Zhao Shun who was exhausted from busy work, and suddenly felt envious of him.

Moreover, he has heard all the gossip and rumors on the street, and he already knows what happened in the court yesterday.

In order to overthrow Yu Wenji, who was in trouble, Zhao Shun took the initiative and was forced to be roasted on the fire.

Liu Qing came to Zhao Shun's side and patted his shoulder lightly.

"Brother Zhao, go and rest, and if there are any visitors, I will let my younger brother block you."

Zhao Shun shook his head when he heard the words, looked at the officials who left with disgust, and said, "Although these people have bad intentions, it is inevitable that they will be used in the future, and those who should be received must be received."

While speaking, another person came from outside the door, and Zhao Shun got up in a hurry.
