When the Linjiang prince and his wife arrived, Eunuch An told the story vividly: "The bandits who came from Yongzhou had wild ideas and wanted to take advantage of the excitement to assassinate. Fortunately, the marquis was smart..."
King Linjiang was shocked and angry.
Princess Linjiang had a complicated expression.
Eunuch An saw it all, smiled knowingly, and said goodbye to them.
He had seen all the excitement today and it was time for him to return to the palace to report.
Emperor Longqing had been waiting. When he heard that Shen Chen had been assassinated, he was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled meaningfully: "I thought that the fifth brother was really loyal and righteous, but it turns out that he is just a name."
Eunuch An was shocked and asked Emperor Longqing in astonishment: "Your Majesty, are you saying that this assassination..."
Emperor Longqing closed the memorial and sneered, "Where are there so many bandits? Hubei Governor Zheng Yongshun has sent a memorial saying that the bandits have been wiped out long ago, a total of 237 people, all of whom have been executed. There are still some scattered bandits who have fled abroad, and they have been arrested by the whole province and posted on the sea. Now he is asking me for a reward."
That's it, and they still say there are some bandits.
The bandits are fake, the real thing is to kill Shen Chen, right
I'm afraid he has heard about the bandit suppression in Yongzhou Prefecture and wants to make something of it.
Emperor Longqing smiled indifferently and ordered Young Master Lin to come and see him.
Young Master Lin himself is now confused. He doesn't know why the thing that should have happened did not happen, but the thing that should not have happened happened instead.
Fortunately, Han Bo had been waiting nearby. When he saw that everyone had left, he approached Third Young Master Lin and whispered to him the whole story: "Our Marquis was in the palace the night before last. The young prince came to the palace to find him and told him about the arson at the Wei family's villa. Our Marquis then met with Xuesong and Hanfeng that night..."
Han Bo lowered his voice: "Xuesong and Hanfeng went to look for Princess Shouning and Prince Zheng separately..."
Young Master Lin understood that what he could guess, Wei An and Shen Chen could also guess.
When Wei An was still around, he said that he would let Old Madam Wei follow the clues. She was still investigating the servants in the house at that time. She must have guessed at that time that Master Xie wanted to plot against her and would definitely start with the people around her.
And Shen Chen, he can react so quickly in the palace...
Han Bo said with a bit of pride: "Our Lord has sent me to wait at Deshengmen a long time ago, and told me that if anyone enters the city with a visiting card from the Dingbei Marquis's Mansion or the Zheng Wang's Mansion, I must capture them no matter what."
Captain Xu glanced at him, still puzzled: "Then what's going on with this assassination?"
Han Bo smiled mischievously: "Nothing. After we waited for Zhao Qi and Master Xie at Deshengmen, Zhao Qi discussed with me that it would be troublesome to deal with these people. Since they want to be bandits, let them be bandits. The two of them found a way to lead them to Zhengyang Street, and then pretended to want to escape, so that they broke into the Yulin Guard and Jinwu Guard..."
Next, Shen Chen understood it quickly and rushed out to catch the bandits.
Everything happened naturally.
Young Master Lin frowned.
Shen Chen is really smart and he made arrangements right away.
He hummed, and seeing Han Bo was excited, he asked again: "Then why did you come to the Yang family's relief center?"
Han Bo was even more proud. "We told Zhao Qi and Master Xie everything that happened. They both said that since Princess Shouning suspected that the Yang Family's Jimin Office would also be in trouble, there was a high probability that something would really happen. So Master Xie and Zhao Qi meant that the three people who were originally guarding the house disappeared, right? They should be used at this time. After our Marquis killed one person on the spot, he said that the bandit confessed that he was hiding in the Yang Family's Jimin Office and that there were accomplices inside, so we came!"
This is a good idea.
In this way, the fire in Wei An's villa, the three bodies and the missing servants can be explained - the bandits had chosen the Wei family's mansion, which was uninhabited and only guarded by the elderly, the weak, women and children.
Shen Chen has already finished his work, so what's left for him to do is much simpler.
The Jinyiwei had no other skills, but they were first-rate in interrogating prisoners and doing paperwork. Shen Chen had already set the tone, so it didn't take much effort for Young Master Lin to quickly identify the crimes of these people.
A disaster disappeared without a trace, but Mrs. Wei couldn't let go of her worries: "Everything is exactly as you expected. It's just that Third Master Lin and Shen Chen got involved, so this matter went wrong, and in the end it became the version told by Shen Chen and Third Master Lin."
She touched Wei An's head and couldn't help but worry: "Grandma is not disbelieving that you have the ability, but An An, it's easier to invite a god than to send him away. You got away with it this time, but what about next time?"
Wei An knew what Old Lady Wei was worried about.
Mr. Xie is indeed a truly tough opponent.
He is much more difficult to deal with than Cao Wen and Cao An.
This kind of poisonous snake that spits out its tongue behind your back and has deep hatred is indeed difficult to deal with.
But even if it is difficult to deal with, we have to deal with it.
"Grandma, I can't hide from you anymore since I helped Xie Liangqing." Wei An sighed, "Second Master Xie is such a paranoid person. He hates anyone who disrupts his plans, and I've obviously set a very bad precedent."
At that time, she didn't know that the Xie family had such a history, and she didn't know that the second master Xie was the mastermind behind the scenes.
But what if I knew
Wei An asked herself, if she knew that Second Master Xie was so difficult to deal with, would she give up on saving Xie Liangqing
No.
She shook her head without hesitation.
She still remembered how her sworn brother had helped her in her previous life, and how this experience was an indelible nightmare for her sworn brother. She also remembered how her sworn brother always said that he was only one step away from saving his brother and avoiding the sadness and despair of his family being torn apart.
She lived a new life, not to live in fear of death.
She should do what she wants to do openly.
If someone dislikes her for this and wants to destroy her, she is not afraid.
There is nothing to be afraid of. Now that the truth has been revealed, it all depends on your ability.
Mr. Xie is difficult to deal with, is she such an easy person to deal with
They all came back with a heart full of hatred, so let's fight it out based on the means used.
Old Mrs. Wei also knew this.
Knowing this earlier is priceless. Who could have known that the affairs of the Xie family were so complicated.
Now that we have provoked this plague god, it is useless to be afraid and avoid him. She coughed and got down to business: "So what should we do next?"
-----It's the last day of 2017. Did you have a good time in 2017? Regardless of whether it was good or not, I wish you all a smooth 2018~~~
