5. Appropriate evaluation, implicit metaphor

The two of Pei Lou can be regarded as "newlyweds", and they have been immersed in the soy sauce brewing all day long, and they don't care about common things.And this time, He Qi got stuck with Lou Yefeng and got permission from his master, so he prepared to settle accounts with Lian Xiao with a gloomy face.Those good things that Lian Xiao did a few days ago... the master hasn't settled with him yet.

This kid is too courageous!He dared to arrange the master's private affairs indiscriminately, and let others deliberately spread them to the old building.No matter how much he tosses about Lao Lou, she will still be a princess.What Lou Yefeng did that night was between the two of them.If the master doesn't let him take care of it, he naturally can't take care of it, but Lian Xiao... then he has to deal with him.

Otherwise, the shadow guards in this mansion, just look at these deacons and deputy commanders acting like this one by one, what should the shadow guards below do if they are educated and capable.

In the past few months since He Qi took office as the commander, he has hardly done any serious missions except to watch the master and the old building Jiangjiang Niangniang, so he has already figured out his responsibility and mission-in a peaceful and prosperous age, when the master encounters dangerThe time is much less than before, and most of the time he has nowhere to work for his master.His primary responsibility now is to take care of the shadow guards on behalf of the master. If the master doesn't have the heart to punish them, he must make these shadow guards remember some rules at all times, so as not to mess up the overall situation.

While pondering, He Qi went to Lian Xiao's Medicine House to grab someone.Along the way, Commander He Da's icy face really startled the shadow guards guarding along the way.They were all secretly guessing that in the past few days, it was clear that the master was very happy, but they didn't know which colleague was going to be unlucky again.

When he arrived at the Medicine House, he didn't see Lian Xiao, only a young apprentice decocting medicine in front of his stove.He Qi thought to himself that this guy knew that I was going to make trouble for him, so he couldn't escape.Shen Sheng asked:

"Where are you sir?"

Although Lian Xiao's subordinate is not a shadow guard, no one in this mansion dares to disrespect Commander He Da, so he saluted respectfully:

"Returning to Commander He, Mr.... went to the Execution Division early in the morning and waited for you."

He Qi frowned, secretly thinking that Lian Xiao was an acquaintance, so he turned and went straight to the dungeon in the corner courtyard of the palace.

Unexpectedly, when he went down the steps and entered the dungeon, he saw bright lights in the execution department's hall.But Lian Xiao sat on the chair in the middle and drank tea calmly, while the deacon of the Execution Department was standing beside him, serving tea to Lian Xiao.There was even a plate of snacks on the table, and it seemed that they were almost finished.

Deacon Ke of the Execution Department was newly taken over after He Qisheng became the commander, and he used to be his deputy.Seeing He Qi coming at this time, after seeing the ceremony, he showed him an awkward smile.

He Qi froze for a moment, then his eyes burned with anger:

"Lian Xiao! You are quite courageous. The master sent me to interrogate you. How dare you ask Deacon Ke to pour you tea?"

Lian Xiao's expression remained unchanged, his eyes fixed on a piece of floating tea in the teacup, and he said slowly:

"I'm not interrogating now. This deputy commander is the one who went to the peak. Shouldn't he be served tea when he meets his superior? I guess I'll take some of it later. I'll eat and drink before I talk about it."

He Qi couldn't help snorting:

"Prisoner of the ranks, damn prostitute is tough."

After finishing speaking, he still waved his hand to let Deacon Na Ke back down.Although the new Deacon Ke hasn't found any chance to stand up for such a long time, this matter involves the owner's private affairs, and the circumstances are special, so he can only try it himself.

…………………

When there was no one else in the dungeon, Lian Xiao put down the teacup, stood up from the main seat, walked aside, and sighed:

"I'm done eating. I don't know... what surprise Commander He prepared for me today."

This is the meaning of waiting for He Qi's execution.

He Qi didn't respond, and sat down in his seat with his robes on, took the pen and ink from the table, and unfolded a long roll of paper.

"I'll ask, and you answer truthfully. If you refuse to plead guilty, I will execute you in no time."

Lian Xiao raised his eyebrows in surprise:

"Such a good opportunity, Old He, you don't want to avenge yourself?"

This personal enmity, of course, refers to the fact that he abducted He Yanjun and tossed the old building together.He Yanjun is his younger sister, not a subordinate of the palace, so naturally it cannot be regarded as official business.But He Qi didn't know it yet. Hearing what he said, alarm bells rang in his heart:

"What personal enmity?"

Lian Xiao smiled wryly.Since it was He Qi who was interrogating himself, he would have to know sooner or later.Now...he was about to be liquidated by his master, and he also had to bear the wrath of Old He.

"... Seeing that the master has no idea what to do, we are going to shake up the old building..."

"...I asked Yanjun to invite the master to listen to the piano..."

"... Later, on the master's birthday..."

After he had brought out all the plans he had made with He Yanjun some time ago, He Qi's face was as dark as the bottom of the pot.

"...I asked Yanjun to make a gift, which can deliberately make the old building look the best..."

There was only a "snap" sound, and He Qi took a few cracks on the pear-blossom tabletop, and even half a brush was poked into the inkstone-it was because He Qi couldn't help but slapped his hands in anger halfway.The pen broke and collapsed into it.

Lian Xiao glanced at He Qi's ugly face, and secretly sighed in his heart.

He Qi's face sank like water: "Lian Xiao, you...you...what are you messing around with! The master's business is also mixed with your dream of being a shadow guard? What's more, you...you are still pulling Yanjun with you?"

"No wonder I saw you all sneaking around and planning something together in the past few days, but it turned out to be such a bold thing!"

Lian Xiao lowered his head, speechless.He did the thing, and he couldn't deny it.

Seeing that he didn't speak, He Qi's eyes became more angry for no reason.He finished recording on the case file with a broken brush, then slapped the table and shouted sharply:

"What else! The rumors that the masters in the mansion were going to marry Yanjun as the princess a few days ago, were you instigated?"

Lian Xiao's heart tightened, he turned his face away and dared not look at him:

"...Yes. But this matter has nothing to do with He Yanjun, she does not agree. It was I who asked Yun Chi to do it under the guise of the master's order, and it was also to misunderstand the old building."

"you!"

Lian Xiao saw the figure behind the table soaring into the air and flying towards him with a palm.He subconsciously wanted to block the move, but finally he gave a wry smile, withdrew all the internal energy from his body, and closed his eyes.

The next moment, he felt He Qi's powerful internal force firmly imprinted on his chest, directly knocking him into the corner of the wall.

"Old He you..."

Lian Xiao didn't use his internal strength to protect his body, he already suffered serious internal injuries from this palm.

He leaned against the corner of the wall, and after spitting out a mouthful of blood, he stood up after a while.Looking at the icy-cold He Qi in front of him, he sneered:

"Old He...are you stupid? When you were interrogating me just now, you didn't do anything, and you insisted on using the pretext of personal enmity and fighting. You hurt eight hundred enemies and one thousand yourself. How can you be like this?"

He knew that if he abducted He Yanjun to do these things, He Qi must be angry with him, and he had a lot of opinions.But he rolled himself into the Execution Division and let him interrogate, because he wanted to let him vent his anger.

But if He Qi's slap just now got out... the shadow guards had a private feud and fight, after all, force was used, and this crime was much more serious than Lian Xiao's mere crime of spreading rumors and causing trouble.

He Qi stood still, with a calm expression:

"Do you think I'm the one who will avenge my private enemies? You spread rumors and violated the shadow guard regulations. Naturally, your master will deal with you. But the matter of Yanjun is my own private matter, and there is no distinction between public and private."

"Since you didn't resist, then if you accept my slap, the matter will be over. I will go to the master to apologize, so you don't have to worry about it."

"only……"

He Qi suddenly reached out and grabbed Lian Xiao's collar, leaned closer, gritted his teeth and said:

"In the future, this kind of thing... stay away from my Yanjun! You don't want to kill yourself, and I don't care if you provoke the master and the old building every day. But Yanjun has been wandering for more than ten years, and she finally got the master's asylum to live a peaceful life. I will notLet her do anything that gets in the way of the master."

"She is pure and kind by nature, Lian Xiao, don't teach her your stuff, don't lead her into trouble!"

Lian Xiao thought to himself that your sister is still pure and kind?The old fox doesn't count, but the little fox's morals are about the same.

He couldn't help snorting, and looked up at He Qi's eyes:

"You don't have to think your sister is so innocent. She brought up this matter on her own initiative. If not, in my capacity, how could I bring up these plans? I accept punishment for what I have done, but your sister..."

"My sister is extremely intelligent, how can she take the initiative to do such a hot topic? You are talking nonsense..."

Lian Xiao interrupted him coldly: "Of course it's for repaying your kindness."

He Qi was taken aback.

Lian Xiao slammed his hand off his lapel:

"Your He family...you and Yanjun were both rescued by the master. He Qi, think about it for yourself, how much of the master's kindness can you repay the master's kindness for you as the commander of the shadow guard?"

"If it's said that you are the shadow guard for the master, it's fine if you can repay her kindness. How are you going to repay her for her share?"

He Qi was completely stunned on the spot.

Lian Xiao's words are extremely ruthless, but they are also true.

The master saved his life first, this one.But after he came out of the shadow guard camp, the political situation had already been settled, and the number of times he had fought for his master was far less than that of Lou Yefeng.

Moreover, his He family's father, brother and elders were originally from the prince's faction, but the master did not feel dissatisfied with him because of this.Xinzhong was promoted to the position of commander, and even cured him of the poison that controlled the shadow guard, the second.

In addition, the master later rescued He Yanjun by mistake.

Of course he, He Qi, knows that his master's kindness is as great as a mountain, but apart from his martial arts, he has nothing more to repay his master.

Lian Xiao looked at He Qi who suddenly looked gloomy, raised his sleeve to wipe off the blood from his mouth, and continued:

"Doesn't she know how risky this matter is? Does she want to live in the palace and at the same time annoy the princess? It's just to use her intelligence to solve a problem in the heart for the master. Old He, you have neither the ability of Yanjun, don’t worry about her in everything.”

He Qi stood where he was, silent for a long time, and then heaved a long sigh:

"I... I see."

Lian Xiao shook his head:

"You don't have to think about it too much. Yanjun is now the master's apprentice, and they have another set of rules for getting along with each other. Speaking of which, you are the master's subordinate, so you can't control her."

"You just let her go. You don't have to set her up with the attitude of a monarch and a minister. He Yanjun knows it well. Even if there is something really offensive in the future... With the master's temper, it won't be true.What to do with her. The old building won't even care."

"...let me think about it."

After finishing speaking, he slowly rolled up the entire sheet of paper on the table and stuffed it into his sleeve.

…………………

He turned around to leave, but Lian Xiao stretched out his hand to stop him: "Wait, this thing... are you going to show the master just like this?"

"Otherwise? I don't have the right to dispose of it. If the master doesn't let me execute the punishment, I can't think about it."

Lian Xiao shook his head: "You just kick the master like this... With the master's temperament, of course you will not be able to make a decision."

"Then how are you doing?"

I saw Lian Xiao paused for a moment, with a slightly troubled expression on his face, as if he was making up his mind:

"Go and tell the master... I know that I made a serious mistake, please reflect on yourself for three days."

He Qi raised his eyebrows in surprise.

The "self-examination" of the shadow guard is prepared for the shadow guard who has made a big mistake, in order to let the master see the sincerity of repentance and calm down.

Therefore, it is not as easy as staying in the house for three days without going out, and the pain in the process... If it is not really afraid of the master's anger, no shadow guard would ask for trouble like this.

"You...why are you suddenly so enlightened?"

"The master has always been soft-hearted. He already knew that my purpose was to win them over, so he might not bear to do anything to me. But I provoked an old building, and if the master is angry... he must be really angry."

Lian Xiao lowered his eyes and said softly:

"As subordinates, we must not make it difficult for the master."
