Once they know Shen Chen's identity, they will probably have the intention to kill him even if they don't have it yet.
Firstly, everyone knows about the relationship between Shen Chen and Chu Jingxing, and secondly, Shen Chen is now the Marquis of Pingxi and a favorite of Emperor Longqing.
The weight of what he says now is extraordinary.
Dong Siyuan would not take such a risk, as they really didn't have much time left.
Han Bo felt his heart beating rapidly. He stood up, said yes to Wei An and Shen Chen, and quickly rushed out.
There were only seven or eight guards from Shen Chen's mansion left in the room. The sound of candles burning could be heard. The food had already gone cold, but there was no sign of Dong Siyuan. Shen Chen glanced at Wei An and said meaningfully, "It seems that Dong Siyuan knows something."
Yes.
Otherwise, how could he be willing to let go of the big fat piece of meat from the capital, disappear for such a long time, and just let them stay in his house
Wei An also hummed, stretched out his hand with chopsticks to gesture, and raised his chin to Shen Chen to signal him to look: "Look, without any preparation, bird's nest and abalone, this meal is really sumptuous."
Yes, everything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, and swims in the water is complete.
Dong Siyuan lived a very comfortable life.
Even if Chu Jingxing was in the Linjiang Palace, he probably didn't live so luxuriously every day.
Wei An looked around the room and saw that all the guards were unwilling to move as if they were facing a great enemy, so he said, "These are your shadow guards, right?"
Shen Chen is the adopted son of King Linjiang. Since King Chu has his own assassins, how could King Linjiang not have any too
In his previous life, Shen Chen had a group of shadow guards around him who came and went without a trace, and each of them could come and go as fast as the wind.
This time Shen Chen knew that this trip was dangerous, so why did he bring ordinary guards with him
Shen Chen didn't try to hide it. He just hummed and said directly, "It's not the shadow guard, it's the assassin of the Marquis' Mansion."
He glanced at Wei An and emphasized, "These are the soldiers under my father's command. After he was in Yunnan... these people refused to leave, so my father kept them all and let me command them alone."
No wonder Chu Jingxing has been helpless against him for so many years.
Wei An was curious again. If they were the subordinates of Pingxi Hou Shen Cong, then they were too well-maintained, right? Except for two who were older, the others looked like they were not even thirty years old.
As if seeing her doubts, Shen Chen coughed and explained: "This is the second generation."
Wei An understood and did not hesitate: "Then I wonder if we can just leave six people behind and let the two of us walk around the mansion?"
Take a walk around Dong’s house
Shen Chen raised his eyebrows and immediately understood what she meant: "You mean, let them investigate the Dong family?"
But now Hanbo is gone... .
"Yeah." Wei An simply responded, "The Dong family is so extravagant from top to bottom. Han Bo just went to see if there was any evidence that Dong Siyuan had colluded with others, but there are still many places in the Dong family that can be investigated."
If you calculate carefully, many of the Dong family's expenses on food, clothing and other necessities are beyond the limit.
Shen Chen did not hesitate, and turned around and pointed out two people: "Qingfeng Mingyue, you two go and record it as clearly as possible."
Wei An finally saw what it meant to come and go like the wind, and couldn't help but be a little dazed.
If Shen Chen's assassins can be so powerful, then don't the assassins that Mr. Xie II had before and belonged to the King of Chu seem a little too weak
But before she had time to think about it, Dong Siyuan's loud laughter came from outside.
Dong Siyuan came in right after him, and bowed to them with an apologetic look on his face: "I'm so sorry, so sorry, I neglected you all!"
As he spoke, he frowned at the cold dishes on the table and said, "Dong is sorry for not hosting you well. I hope you will forgive me for my poor hospitality."
At the same time, he turned around and ordered the attendants who followed him in: "Go! The dishes are cold, how can we eat them? Go and change a table of good food to entertain our distinguished guests."
He then asked Wei An and Shen Chen earnestly, "I see that the dishes have not been touched. Could it be that they are not to your taste? If so, I deserve to die. I wonder what your hobbies are?"
Wei An is a girl. Even though she is dressed up to look like a real girl, she will still reveal clues if she talks too much.
Shen Chen answered for her: "How could that be? Lord Dong is so kind, we don't know what to do. Besides, how can the guests eat before the host arrives?"
Dong Siyuan burst into laughter. "It's Dong's fault. It's Dong's fault. I was too busy with work. It's really not intentional to be rude to you. Please forgive me, both gentlemen."
"Okay, okay." Shen Chen used his ability to smooth things over: "Come to think of it, it's so late, why is your Excellency still so busy with official duties? Is there something urgent?"
Dong Siyuan's eyes flickered a little: "No, no, no, it's nothing, it's just that recently because of the matter of the Prince of Zhennan, the military households are filled with righteous indignation, and the public sentiment is agitated. From time to time, some military households come to make trouble and complain. We are busy distributing the compensation for the military pay, so things are a bit busy."
Shen Chen said, "Your Excellency must have worked really hard."
Dong Siyuan's heart became more alert, but he showed nothing on his face. He just smiled and shook his head: "Your Excellency is too kind. This is what we should do. We will share His Majesty's worries even if it means death."
The words were very nice.
Shen Chen smiled and said, "Your Excellency is truly devoted to the emperor. I admire you and others so much that I am ashamed of you."
Dong Siyuan felt that there was no more room for conversation today. Everyone said Shen Chen was smart, but he didn't seem smart. He did seem slick, and his words were flawless.
If he had not had accurate information, he would have thought that Shen Chen was really a veteran in the Ministry of War, and he could speak sweet words and flattery without stopping.
He laughed dryly for a few times, and waited for the servants to change the table before he stood up and urged them to eat: "My lords have been waiting for so long, they must be starving. It's my fault. Please fill your stomachs quickly..."
While pouring them wine.
At last he slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my memory. There are wine and food here, but how can we enjoy ourselves if we just eat without anything? I was careless." He turned around and asked someone to invite some musicians: "We need to invite Bao'er and the others. They are beautiful, knowledgeable and interesting, and they are the smartest ones."
Shen Chen turned around and took advantage of this opportunity to glance at Wei An, and signaled to her with lip language: "Hongmen Banquet."
If someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
Dong Siyuan's behavior is just like a weasel paying a New Year's visit to a chicken, and he has no good intentions.
