In front of the stone table in the west courtyard of the Shen residence, Shen Miao was playing chess with Shen Qiu.
It was a rare day when Shen Qiu didn't have to practice swords, knowing that Shen Miao's chess skills were now advancing by leaps and bounds, Shen Qiu had been gearing up for a long time to win Shen Miao's game. However, the ending was not very happy.
Shen Miao dropped a sunspot and Baizi, who was still domineering in Shen Qiu just now, was surrounded by sunspots and could not get out. Shen Qiu stared blankly for a while, then asked Shen Miao, "Sister, isn't this the chess move I used in the first game?"
He felt that the chess path on the chessboard was somewhat familiar to him, the more he looked, the more surprised Shen Miao was recovering the chess path he played in the first game step by step. It’s just that Shen Miao used it better, at least in this round, she used this trick skillfully and was murderous.
“Use the way of others to treat others’ bodies.” Shen Miao smiled, “Big Brother, can you come up with countermeasures for your own things?”
Shen Qiu shook his head: "My method is to fight the enemy, and I set up a dead end. My sister asked me to find a countermeasure, but I couldn't find it."
Shen Miao looked at the vertical and horizontal chess paths on the chessboard and smiled lightly.
In his previous life, Shen Qiu killed Sun Cainan a few years later and was imprisoned. He wanted to come to the back of the plan more or less with Shen Yuan's handwriting. I wonder if Shen Yuan would feel familiar with returning the exact same method back? The dead end he set up for Shen Qiu, can Shen Yuan solve it by himself
Should be impossible.
When Shen Qiu scratched his head and was about to settle down, he suddenly saw a person hurriedly running outside the yard, it was a second-class maidservant, the maid's face was full of panic, and said in a panic, "It's not good, the first young master, the fifth young lady, the second young master is outside. Killed!"
"What?" Shen Qiu frowned, a chess piece fell, spun around on the ground, and finally landed on the ground.
Shen Miao bent down to pick up the chess piece, looked at the maid, and asked in a warm voice, "Who did he kill?"
…
In Jing Zhaoyin's prison, Shen Yuan was locked in the innermost room, his hands and clothes were blood-stained red, and his face was a little blue.
It was the first time that Shen Yuan was in such an embarrassing situation. When he was fighting with the adulterer Jing Chu Chu, for some reason, there was always a very irritable mood in his heart, as if his mind was a little hot. He was stabbed to death with a knife, and the restaurant was a wooden attic. The fight between the two awakened many people. The screams of Taoyuan and Jing Chuchu almost immediately exposed the murder to the public.
It was only then that Shen Yuan's heart gradually calmed down. Today's matter, he is too impulsive after all.
Shen Yuan was conceited all his life, and what he hated most was that someone took his dignity to humiliate him. He felt humiliated enough about the Shen family banquet, but it was because he hadn't woken up at the time, so he endured it. Now all the people in Dingjing knew that he was going to marry Jing Chuchu, but Jing Chuchu was still cuckolding him outside, and the people in the restaurant seemed to point at him because of this, and Shen Yuan could hardly control his anger.
Jing Chuchu didn't know where she was taken, but the matter was caused by her, and it would not be easy for Jing Chuchu to end up.
It's just... Shen Yuan is still a little strange, why did the people from the restaurant know him and Jing Chuchu? Why did Jing Chuchu choose his room when he was an adulterer? He faintly felt that something was wrong, but he shook his head quickly. That place is where he and Fu Xiuyi's people meet, and no one except Fu Xiuyi's people knows about it.
Shen Yuan thought deeply that when Fu Xiu Yi's people arrived at the restaurant, they probably already knew about it.
At this moment, he has completely calmed down, those flustered emotions have vanished, and the blood on his clothes and the gloomy cage have not shaken his expression.
At this moment, he saw a jailer come over and stop in front of his cell door. Shen Yuan looked up and exclaimed in surprise, "Dong Hao!"
Dong Hao was the one who wanted to connect with him. At this moment, he changed into a jailer's clothes, thinking that he came in to talk to him.
"Listen to me, this matter is a misunderstanding." Shen Yuan hurriedly said, "I also ask Your Highness to do me a favor this time, and I will repay His Highness in the future."
Shen Yuan never expected that Shen Gui would come to save him. Shen Gui could not do anything in order to keep his career, how could he be in danger for him. The only person who can help him now is Fu Xiu Yi, but the members of the royal family do not care about love and righteousness, they can only prove their worth. Shen Yuan said: "The evidence given to His Highness is still somewhat incomplete. His Highness will soon submit a document to His Majesty. Please also ask His Highness to find a way to rescue me. I will make up the final piece for His Highness."
Dong Hao's eyes moved when he heard the words. Shen Yuan's words clearly meant that Fu Xiu Yi's evidence against Shen Xin was incomplete. Shen Yuan kept his hand, fearing that it was Fu Xiu Yi who was guarding him to cross the river and demolish the bridge, but he did not expect that he would be behind bars today, so he had to take out the life-saving talisman in advance.
Seeing that Dong Hao didn't say anything, Shen Yuan was a little anxious: "This matter is just a misunderstanding, it's not difficult to handle, I can pay the money myself, as long as His Highness says hello to the other end, this has happened before."
A large part of the reason why Shen Yuan was so calm was because this matter didn't seem that bad. It was even simpler than the Shen family banquet. The Shen family banquet was because he and Jing Chuchu slept together in front of the ladies. In any case, Jing Chuchu suffered, and the Jing family was too unreasonable for him to do anything. And when he killed Sun Cainan, only Jing Chuchu and her maid saw that he could escape as long as Jing Chuchu and her maid testified. As for the adulterer, just give some money to appease him, and then let Fu Xiu Yi's people assign him a charge at will, such as the person trying to assassinate Shen Yuan and being restrained by Shen Yuan. Murder, as long as the one who kills is not a big family, can cover up the past in the end.
Moreover, his identity at the moment seems to have not been discovered. In the eyes of others, they only know who killed people, but they don't know who it is.
Dong Hao shook his head and said, "Shen Yuan, you got into big trouble this time."
Shen Yuan's smile came to an abrupt end, and he didn't understand what Dong Hao meant.
"Do you know who the person you killed?"
There was an ominous premonition in Shen Yuan's heart. In the darkness, he saw Dong Hao speak slowly.
"He is the only direct son of the Minister of Officials, Sun Tianzheng's son, Sun Cainan."
…
At the entrance of the General's Mansion, there is a large group of people around at this moment, all of them holding sticks with fierce appearances, and even the Shen family guards at the entrance are somewhat unable to stop them. In the room, Shen Yue hid in Chen Rouqiu's arms, trembling with fear, "Mother, did the second brother really kill someone?"
While Chen Rou Qiu comforted her, she was also a little puzzled. Those people outside claimed to be people of the Minister of Officials, saying that Shen Yuan killed Cainan, the direct descendant of the Minister of Officials, and they were clamoring to come in and smash them, but how could Shen Yuan kill Sun Cainan so well
Shen Gui and Shen Wan were already blocking them from outside. If it wasn't for Shen Xin's army of the Shen family, I'm afraid those people would have broken in.
Wan Yiniang hid in the hut, holding Shen Dongling's hand nervously, and said, "If it was really the second young master who murdered, those people wouldn't do anything to us, would they?"
"Don't worry," Shen Dongling said, "What others want to deal with is only the second brother, what's the deal with us?" She sat behind the screen, but the pages of the book in her hand were not opened at all.
"Girl!" Jing Zhe jumped into the house and said, "The people outside are so violent, even the old lady is alarmed!"
Shen Miao did not lift her eyelids and asked, "Oh? How is the old lady?"
"I heard that the second young master killed someone, and immediately fainted again." Jing Zhe gloated a little.
“Girl, this matter will not involve us.” Gu Yu was worried, after all, they all knew that why Shen Yuan killed people was Shen Miao behind it.
"It doesn't matter, someone is blocking us. Sun Tianzheng is in a high position, and the Shen residence is not inferior to them. Besides, the ultimate goal is Shen Yuan. Shen Yuan sacrificed his life for his life, and they have nothing to say."
"But will the second young master really give his life for his life?" Gu Yu asked, "The second master would not let the second young master die so easily."
“If there is no Shen Yuanbo, the second uncle will definitely do his best to avenge the second brother,” Shen Miao said, “But with Shen Yuanbo, the second uncle has a way out. Losing a son to quell the anger of the Sun family is worth it in the eyes of the second uncle.”
Among the three sons in the Shen residence, Shen Gui is the most indifferent to family affection. Shen Wan had a lot of love for Shen Yue, but Shen Gui didn't see any sincere concern for his children, whether it was Shen Yuan, Shen Qing, Shen Yuanbai, or Shen Dongling, who was also a descendant. For Shen Gui, children are either his help in his career or his successor. No wonder the sons and daughters of the second room did not have the slightest affection for Shen Gui.
Without Shen Yuanbai, Shen Yuan was Shen Gui's only son, and Shen Gui would definitely fight for it. But with Shen Yuanbai and Shen Gui still having a son, Shen Yuan seemed unnecessary. What's more, how can the Sun family be so easy to get rid of? It was Shen Qiu who killed Sun Cainan in the previous life. Sun Tianzheng's family stunned Shen Qiu and put Shen Qiu in jail. Sun Tiansheng has only one direct son, and his only son died, how could he easily let go of his son-killing enemy
"But is it only the second young master who is unlucky?" Jing Zhe Yu was not surprised and died endlessly: "Miss Biao just let it go? She is still hiding in the mansion and can't come out." After the accident, Jing Chuchu slipped back by himself, and The Jing family hid together in the Shen residence.
“How could it be?” Shen Miao smiled slightly, “After all, she is the culprit.”
Outside the gate of the mansion, Shen Wan persuaded a little embarrassedly: "Everyone, listen to me, the situation has not been clarified yet, please go back first, and I will definitely give you an explanation!"
A woman spit on Shen Wan's face with a "bah", and said with her hands on her hips, "Pay your debts, kill to pay! Our young master was killed by Shen Yuan, let's pay! This is not over!"
Shen Gui shivered a little, and scolded Shen Yuan in his heart. At this moment, in addition to the servants of the Shangshu Mansion, there were also Baixin who were watching the excitement. Someone shouted loudly: "Didn't you say that the murder was because of jealousy? What does the beauty who is being contested look like? How about letting me wait for a feast for the eyes? pretty!"
As soon as these words came out, the people around them immediately joined in. The people in Shangshu Mansion also reacted abruptly. Now the people of the Sun family are in a mess. Sun Cainan, who was so good, turned into a cold corpse when he went out. It was a sad time, and he wanted Shen Yuan to lose his life. , but missed Jing Chuchu, but at this moment, I remembered hearing such a reminder. Since Sun Cainan and Shen Yuan fought because of Jing Chuchu, and then Shen Yuan accidentally killed Sun Cainan, then Jing Chuchu was the one who was in trouble!
The Sun family immediately said, "Yes! Hand over that bitch! It's all my young master who seduced by her, a shameless little prostitute! Hand her over!"
Not to mention the Sun family, even Shen Gui himself could not wait to kill Jing Chuchu himself. Ever since Jing Chuchu came to the Shen residence, the second room of the Shen family has been unlucky one after another. First, the family feast incident ruined Shen Yuan's reputation, and now it has caused Shen Yuan to get into a life lawsuit for it. Shen Gui ordered the servants without saying a word, and after a while, Jing Chuchu was bound and sent out.
Shen Gui gave Shen Wan a wink, and Shen Wan said: "Don't be angry, everyone, we will be reasonable. Since this is because of Chu Chu, I will hand her over to you and let you deal with it!"
Jing Chuchu let out a miserable cry, but there was no room for the people around her to resist. The Sun family pulled Jing Chuchu, who was tied like a pig, over and slapped dozens of slaps across the face. Jing Chuchu fainted on the spot.
"Don't deceive people too much!" Jing Guansheng and the Jing family also rushed out, waking up furious when they saw this. But they saw the Sun family sneer: "No wonder they are people from small places like Suzhou. They have shallow eyelids, and they ruin their morals. They are all people who are engaged to seduce men everywhere. It's not over. , don't think about it!"
The Jing family was angry and afraid. They were angry that the Sun family was so arrogant, and they were afraid that they had no support in the Ding capital other than the Shen residence. And the Shen residence had been very troubled with them before. Seeing that they were unlucky now, it would be good if the Shen family didn't fall into the trap, how could they just stand by!
Just like this, there was a lot of noise at the entrance of Shen's house for a while, and seeing that the sky was getting dark, the people from the Sun family grabbed Jing Chuchu who was already angry and left, and before leaving, the woman in the lead sneered: "Today is nothing but This is the beginning, you Shen family wait, the master has already written a note to the emperor, there is no reason in this world to be able to live at ease after taking a human life. A life is worth a life, don't think about it! "
Shen Gui watched the Sun family leave in a mess and left swaggeringly, and almost didn't come up in one breath. The last sentence that Sun Tianzheng had written to the emperor made him even more shocked. Sun Tianzheng had only one son, and if Sun Cainan died, Sun Tianzheng would not make him feel better even if the fish died and the net was broken. Right now, even if Shen Yuan died, it was uncertain. The Sun family's anger could not be quelled.
Shen Qiu returned to the west courtyard, wiped his sweat, and complained to Shen Miao, “The Sun family was so rude, they almost smashed the gate. My soldiers couldn’t stop it.”
“The pain of losing a child,” Shen Miao comforted him, “naturally one has to vent.”
"Father and mother don't plan to intervene this time," Shen Qiu said to himself, "But Shen Yuan is never impulsive, even if Jing Chu Chu met Sun Cainan privately, why would he kill someone in a fit of rage?"
"Who knows?" Shen Miao said casually, "Perhaps Sun Cainan was destined to die, and it would be the same in whose hands."
…
In the hall of the Sun family, the concubines of the whole room were kneeling on the ground. In the center of the hall was a corpse covered with a white cloth. Even so, the white cloth was still stained with blood that had already solidified.
Since Mrs. Sun knew that Sun Cainan was dead, she had fainted. When she woke up, she almost collapsed, and no one would listen to her advice. Sun Tianzheng is now in his destiny, and his eyes are bloodshot at this moment, and his cheeks are shaking slightly.
A wandering Taoist once calculated that he would have no children in his life. Sun Tianzheng married countless concubines in his early years, but he really could not give birth to a son. Sun Cainan was finally conceived by Mrs. Sun. For Sun Tianzheng, it was an old child. Therefore, he grew up coddled from a young age, and in the long run, he developed Sun Cainan's lecherous and playful temperament. It's just that Sun Tianzheng has a high position and authority, so he was afraid of provoking the censor's tongue, so he reminded Sun Cainan a long time ago that he should not be ostentatious. Sun Cainan did not enter the official position, and Mianhua Suliu was also in the mansion. Not many people knew him. As for the official in the court, it was even more impossible to have any friendship with him.
Who knows but died at the hands of Shen Yuan. This time, as the Taoist said, Sun Tianzheng had no children.
"Shen Yuan..." Sun Tianzheng gritted his teeth and said, "I want him to lose his life!"
"Master," said one of Sun Tianzheng's concubine, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, "I heard that people brought the woman back. In the end, it was the woman who attracted our young master. Master plans to..."
Sun Tianzheng sneered and said, "Don't play dead yet, take your breath and give it to Madam."
The concubine shuddered, Mrs. Sun's methods had been experienced by all these concubines, and now Mrs. Sun, who was carrying the pain of losing her child, wanted to come to that Jing Chuchu.
"The Shen family can only move Shen Yuan, and the Jing family wants to retreat even if they are white?" The cup scratched his hand and blood dripped. He was still undecided and said with hatred, "I want everyone in the Jing family to be buried with Yuan'er!"
Regarding the matter of Shen Yuan's killing of the only son of the Minister of Officials, the whole capital was discussing the matter. In Prince Ding's mansion, Dong Hao stood in the hall and bowed his head to the people on the high seat.
Fu Xiu Yi rubbed the rim of the teacup with one hand and thought, "The document that was supposed to be presented to the royal father's Shen family tomorrow, but Shen Yuan's accident happened today."
"The evidence in Shen Yuan's hands is not yet complete. Your Highness, can you use a method to speak out?"
"No need," Fu Xiu Yi waved his hand, "The things that Shen Yuan gave are enough. Even if I hope to be more complete, I can't do anything about it."
"Your Highness means to let Shen Yuan go?" Dong Hao asked.
"It's just someone else, but it's Sun Tianzheng. Sun Tian is the king of Zhou. The king of Zhou will definitely intervene in this matter. If I do, it will only make the king of Zhou alert. Shen Yuan's disaster this time has caused too much trouble. ." Fu Xiu Yi shook his head.
Dong Hao was silent for a while: "But what if Shen Yuan's fish dies and the net is broken, what will happen to His Highness?"
"Shen Yuan is used to hiding behind his own hands, so you must guard against what you said." Fu Xiu Yi looked at the teacup in his hand, "So not only can this matter not help Shen Yuan, but he has to urge the Ministry of Justice to execute him quickly. He killed Shen in prison. Yuan is inevitably suspicious, you must find a way to feed him something."
Dong Hao quickly said yes. He asked Fu Xiu Yi again, "Is Your Highness still going to pay the bill tomorrow?"
"No." Fu Xiu Yi rubbed his forehead and said, "This matter will cause shocks, but now it's not loud enough to talk about Zhezi, so take it easy." He suddenly opened his eyes: "However, you'd better check, recently. Who the hell did Shen Yuan spend with?"
Dong Hao was startled: "Your Highness means that someone is behind the scenes?"
"Shen Yuan has never been impulsive. This time, he killed Sun Tianzheng's only son. Don't you think it's too coincidental? Besides, why did Jing Chuchu meet Shen Yuan? It's very strange."
"Shen Yuan is not someone who will be tricked." Dong Hao said, "And if he can even control this in the future, this person must be very familiar with Shen Yuan."
"To be able to push Shen Yuan into such a situation," Fu Xiu Yi said, "I can't keep this piece. I didn't cultivate a chess piece to be used by others to become a waste." Having said this, Fu Xiu Yi also flashed a gloomy look in his eyes. He didn't look so light-hearted, Shen Yuan was a chess piece that he had carefully cultivated for many years, not only because of Shen Yuan's resourcefulness, but more importantly because Shen Yuan was still the Shen family. In Shen Yuan's position, many things will be easier to do in the future. However, now he has to abandon the car to protect the handsome, carefully cultivated confidant, which will never come in handy in the future.
What's more, it's still a clumsy and crude method like a woman.
"This subordinate will definitely find out." Dong Hao said, "Fortunately, before the accident, Shen Yuan gave the things to His Highness."
Fu Xiu Yi said, "It's a pity that we have to wait."
On the other side, upstairs in Fengxian's pawnshop, Ji Yushu slapped his palms together and smiled, "Miao ah, it's fine if Miss Shen doesn't make a move, it's amazing. Shen Yuan is going to jail today, it's really time now."
“It’s just a coincidence.” Gao Yang rolled his eyes at him, “Shen Miao probably doesn’t know about it now.”
"Whether I know it or not, I won the bet with you anyway." Ji Yushu was triumphant: "After the silver note, I will bring it to the pawnshop and give it to Hong Ling."
Gao Yang was silent for a while, but continued: "Shen Yuan probably never thought that one day he would fall into this trivial means."
Because his wife had an affair with others and was jealous of others, he killed the adulterer by mistake. No matter how I heard this, I felt disgraceful, whether it was the adulterer, the unruly woman, or the cuckolded husband's family, when people talked about it, they would only take it as a joke. Shen Yuan was originally talented and knew how to forbear, but he just returned to the capital. With the attention Fu Xiu Yi placed on him, he would become a talent that everyone should not underestimate in time. Who would have known that it would end in such an embarrassing way.
Although it looks like a joke, the end is very serious. Just because the person he killed was Sun Tianzheng's only son.
"Sun Tianzheng will go to Zhezi tomorrow, Gao Yang, do you think Shen Yuan will lose his life this time?" Ji Yushu asked.
“What do you think of Shen Miao?” Gao Yang asked an irrelevant question.
"What does this have to do with Miss Shen?" Ji Yushu was puzzled.
"Shen Miao's trap, once stepped into it, you have seen someone who can retreat safely. You should have seen from the time of Prince Yu that her trap was never a trick. This matter seems to be true. Dealing with Shen Yuan, it's not the case."
"You said she still has a back up?" Ji Yushu asked, "At most, Shen Yuan loses her life, what else does she want?"
"I think Shen Yuan is only one of them." Gao Yang shook his head, his expression couldn't help but turn serious: "If she starts, she will not be the only one."
Ji Yushu was silent for a moment, then asked seriously, "What is the deep hatred between Miss Shen and the rest of the Shen family? Although it is creepy to write like this, there is a reason for thinking about it. Could it be that the Shen family has done something unforgivable to her? ?"
For a little girl to use such cruel means to plan every step of the way, there must be other secrets in it. It's just that even Bai Xiaosheng couldn't find out, just because the Shen family made her into a straw bag by killing her, it seems a little unreasonable.
Gao Yang shook his head: "I don't know either, but she acted too flamboyantly. This time Shen Yuan was imprisoned, and Shen Yuan belonged to King Ding. King Ding suffered a loss, and he would definitely notice her. The people dispatched before also said, King Ding's subordinates are investigating the matter."
"Miss Shen is not good to King Shang Ding." Ji Yushu was very worried: "King Ding has a deep mind and a tricky approach. Once he finds out that it was Miss Shen's actions, he will not know what he will do in the future."
“Don’t worry.” Gao Yang said, “I feel that Shen Miao is very familiar with Prince Ding, perhaps everything she did was not because she did not consider the fate of being known by Prince Ding. Rather than worrying about her, it is better to worry about her. yourself," Gao Yang looked at Ji Yushu: "Xie San asked you to find someone, have you found it?"
"Cough," Ji Yushu touched his nose, "I'll send someone there immediately."
…
"I didn't expect that the inside of the Shen family would be so chaotic. It's such a big drama in the spring of this year. How can I get it in the future."
"Ah, ah, he is also the grandson of the king, but he falls in love with a commoner girl, and he is jealous and injured. This is not a scene that only exists in the playbook."
"If you want me to tell me, that commoner girl is really ordinary, and I don't know how the two princes and grandsons are blind and jealous for her. It's better to let the two princes and grandsons be together."
"Huo Long, have you read a book of strange words recently?"
The black-clothed woman fluttered her long hair with a charming aura: "Am I right? If a man wants to fight for it, he must at least be as beautiful as me."
"I'm very interested." An abrupt voice sounded, and the group of black-clothed men in Anbu who were squatting on the ground and making jokes suddenly fell silent, and one by one stood up like an enemy and looked at the people in front of them. .
The purple-clothed youth has handsome features, but in the dark, he looks more and more cold and arrogant. He glanced at everyone: "Why don't you continue talking?"
The crowd lowered their heads and said nothing.
Xie Jing Xing turned around and left, stopped after leaving the group of people far away, and laughed like a self-deprecating smile, "Little girl has some means."
He lowered his eyes, looked at the starless night in the sky, and said in a low voice, "I don't have time."
