Zhuangzi somewhere outside the city.

Xu Ziqi led about a hundred people, and they all fought openly and openly. They fired arrows first and then subdued them one by one. Many spectators gathered around and Xu Ziqi said loudly.

"They are all those who participated in the murder of the regent today, and this is their fate."

The people murmured, never expecting that the people who lived in Zhuangzi not far from them would dare to murder the regent.

When Shen Rihui arrived here, Xu Ziqi had almost finished cleaning up. Shen Rihui felt resentful and was about to leave. When he turned around, he saw five guards surrounding him. The guards didn't say anything and just beat them when they came up. Shen Rihui There were two bodyguards who came out just now, and together with the shopkeeper, there were four of them, but in a fight they were no match at all, and they were retreating steadily.

Shen Rihui shouted.

"Who are you?"

"People from the Regent's Palace."

"Hey, are you mistaken? I have no grudge against the Prince Regent."

Xu Ziqi just saw some movement here and had already rushed here.

"stop."

The guards stopped one after another.

Shen Rihui stopped to take a breath, and Xu Ziqi looked at the shopkeeper.

"Hey, isn't this the shopkeeper of Mingxiang Tea House? I wonder who is this person next to the shopkeeper?"

The shopkeeper introduced.

"This is the owner of our teahouse."

"Oh, it turns out that the teahouse belongs to you. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Did you just say that you have no grudge against the Regent?"

"Indeed, have you misunderstood? I just heard that something happened here and came over to take a look."

"Well, the Prince Regent's Palace does not have any grudges against your tea house, but the prince said that your tea house is not managed properly, which is nonsense. The princess came to your tea house to drink tea twice when she went out of the house, and she did not distinguish between bad and evil when she came back. Your operation like this will affect Ancheng The custom, the prince said, needs to be managed well, otherwise you won’t be able to remember it.”

Xu Ziqi raised his hand, and the five guards continued to fight Shen Rihui and the others. Xu Ziqi said calmly.

"Hey, it's not fair for you to be five against four. Three of you will do. For the other two, we will continue to clear out the next den of thieves who dares to murder the prince."

"yes."

Xu Ziqi was also relieved. Are there three people secretly watching Shen Rihui?

Xu Ziqi did not forget to add one sentence before leaving.

"You should teach me well and make sure that the head of the household learns how to run a teahouse in Ancheng."

"yes."

The three guards were not soft-hearted people. They moved towards their fatal places. Shen Rihui did not dare to be distracted and dealt with them seriously. Although it was three people against four people, it was still very difficult for the four of them to deal with them. They could only They can barely support it, and this is on the premise that the other party does not take their lives. If the other party is bent on killing them, they may feel better, but now they are just teasing them, which is a naked insult to them.

Although he was deeply angry, there was nothing he could do and could only passively respond. Shen Rihui also wanted to take out the medicine, but they seemed to understand his intention. Before he could move his hands, he was forced by their swords. Can stop early.

Shen Rihui and the others went through hundreds of moves as if they were being teased. At this time, they were angry and ashamed at the beginning and now numb. They just wanted to end the fight as soon as possible.

They are gradually losing their strength, but as long as they are distracted, fatal moves will be directed at them. The dangerous instinct scares them to resist quickly, frightening them for a moment. It is not too exciting. Just go through a few moves like this. , their courage was almost gone. When they were so tired that they couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to give up resistance, the guards stopped.

The four of them were pale and sat on the ground gasping for air. They were all stained to varying degrees, and the wounds were not deep. In comparison, the other three guards looked much better. They seemed to have just participated in a training session, and their faces were covered with bruises. There was a slight amount of sweat. If it weren't for the sweat, others might not have guessed that they had just gone through hundreds of moves with others.

The guards finished their work and then retreated. Shen Rihui and the others sighed in their hearts that the fight was finally over.

A simple mansion outside the city.

The previous fire burned everything. After the fire, Duan Qingqian sent people to clean up and built several rooms nearby. Every year, she would take time to come and stay for a few days.

"You guys put your things away first, and we'll clean up. We'll stay here during this period."

"Yes, Princess."

Duan Qingqian was busy cleaning the room. She didn't know what An Yunmo was doing in the city, so she would wait for three days.

the next day.

Shen Rihui thought that An Yunmo sent someone to kill the three Zhuangzi yesterday, teased him again, and warned him. His anger must have subsided. After all, they did not send anyone to kill him, and the assassins who killed him were all An Chao. person, but he didn’t expect that his torture would come again today.

Shen Rihui suffered hundreds of moves yesterday and was injured. He was preparing to rest in his room today, but unexpectedly, a guard suddenly flew down.

"Sir, the prince said that you are a rare opponent, and I am here to ask for advice."

After the guard finished speaking, he took action directly. Yesterday, Shen Rihui had a weapon. Today, he was punched a few times before he had time to pick up the weapon. Yesterday, they were all wounded by swords. Could they be all wounded today? Just thinking about it, he Another punch in the stomach.

Shen Rihui grimaced in pain and stepped forward to resist. However, he was no match for the opponent, and was eventually punched hundreds of times as a punching bag.

The final result was that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. Although he was injured yesterday, he could still go out for a walk. The injury he received today destined him to stay in the room for the next few days. The mission was completed, and the guard disappeared just as he came. Already.

Shen Rihui thought that An Yunmo had taken revenge this time, but was this the end?

On the third day, Shen Rihui had just woken up and was having breakfast in the room. The shopkeeper came up in a hurry. Shen Rihui frowned. He had been annoyed enough for the past two days. The shopkeeper looked like this again. What was wrong with his intuition? thing.

"Why are you so anxious?"

The shopkeeper approached Shen Rihui and said.

"Someone sent word that people from the Criminal Department are here."

"Ministry of Punishment?"

The shopkeeper nodded, and then whispered in Shen Rihui's ear.

"If you have several trustees, please don't confess them. They will try their best to protect you."

Shen Rihui nodded. They had already discussed how to deal with this matter before.

As soon as the shopkeeper explained everything clearly, people from the Criminal Department came up.

"Excuse me, there is evidence pointing to the assassination of the Prince Regent, and the Ministry of Punishment suspects that the Young Master is involved in the case, and also asks the Young Master to cooperate in a trip to the Yamen."

Shen Rihui picked up the tea on the table and drank it down his throat.

"Let's go."

He is not afraid of going to the Yamen. There are many people involved in this matter, so what is he afraid of?

Ministry of Punishment.

The Minister of Punishment was sitting above the main hall, and Shen Rihui was standing in the hall. He was considered a prominent figure in Ancheng, but he was unwilling to kneel down.

The Minister of Punishment did not care about his etiquette and asked.

"Is the person coming here the owner of Mingxiang Teahouse?"

Shen Rihui said impatiently.

"Hmm. Any advice?"

The Minister of Punishment took out a bottle and asked.

"Does this bottle look familiar?"

Shen Rihui narrowed his eyes slightly. Isn't this the meeting gift he gave to Duan Qingqian? But why is he here? It stands to reason that Duan Qingqian hates An Yunmo, and she shouldn't tell him about it.

"Never seen it."

"Never seen it? This is the evidence submitted by the Prince Regent's Palace just now. They said it was a meeting gift from the Young Master to the Princess Regent?"

Shen Rihui stood casually below, not intending to answer.

The Minister of Punishment continued.

"The bottle contains Qiao poison. As we all know, Qiao people are xenophobic and do not easily trade with outsiders. The assassin who assassinated the regent this time committed suicide with Qiao poison in his mouth, and the young master secretly hid Qiao's medicine. , we have to suspect that the assassination of the regent was arranged by the young master."

Shen Rihui said calmly

"I am from the Qiao Kingdom. It is okay to get some medicine, but it is unreasonable to say that the assassin who killed the regent was arranged by me. Is this how your An Dynasty handles cases?"

The Minister of Punishment was not afraid of Shen Rihui's questioning and gave the order with great enthusiasm.

"Leaving aside the case of assassinating the Prince Regent, the Young Master secretly collected poisons in our court, perhaps even sold them, and also instigated the Princess Regent. We have reason to detain you for education. Someone, come and take the Young Master into custody."

"Yes, sir."

Shen Rihui was a little angry because he encountered so many unreasonable barbarians in the past few days.

"You just handled the case so hastily?"

The guards were about to step forward to take Shen Rihui into custody, but Shen Rihui resisted. He had been injured two days ago. His skin injuries were not healed, and his internal injuries from being punched were not healed either. There were so many guards that he could not defeat him. He was being held by the guards. Went to jail.

The Minister of Punishment knew that he was not rigorous in judging the case, but when the people from the Prince Regent's Palace brought the evidence just now, they left a message saying that Shen Rihui not only instigated the princess but also gave her poison and other vicious things. He spent several days in jail and suffered.

He probably also guessed that there were countless clues to the assassination of the Regent, and he could not find out the real mastermind behind the scenes. He could only try to do the best of both worlds, which could not only satisfy the Regent, but also prevent the emperor and princes from complaining. But Shen Rihui could only say that he was unlucky. The regent had no intention of taking his life, otherwise he wouldn't know what to do.

A prison cell.

Shen Rihui was taken to a large cell. There were all kinds of people in it, and no one knew him here. They liked to bully newcomers, and the poison he usually kept on his body as a spare was just taken away by the guards.

At this moment, Shen Rihui was very suspicious of An Yunmo's intentions. The person who fought with him yesterday must have done it on purpose. He didn't feel that way at the time, but when he faced the punches and kicks of some people in the cell, someone with his inner strength actually turned out to be because of some people. Skin trauma and internal injuries cannot defeat those without internal strength.

A day and a night in a cell may be very fast for ordinary people, but for Shen Rihui, it feels like a year. He has never been so miserable. He is like a rat crossing the street, everyone can beat him, and everyone can bully him. , which can be regarded as a bitter meal.
