Chapter 502: This imperial envoy meets another imperial envoy
The sixth child originally planned to stay at night and eat chicken with the gang members, so as to make up for the regret of not living a collective life in the Beggar Clan.
But another imperial envoy, Shen Liben, had been waiting at the entrance of the ruined temple. The gang members were also very restrained in front of him and did not cooperate with him in playing role-playing games at all.
At this time, Zhao Zheng's eyes had almost recovered, and Lao Liu left the ruined temple in low spirits. Shu Laibao quickly led the crowd to send off the gang leader.
"You don't have to send me off, just go back with me." Zhu Zhen glanced at Shu Laibao. The matter was far from over, and the situation was still very complicated. He was really worried that this kid wouldn't be able to see the sun tomorrow.
"Hey, I obey." Shu Laibao hurriedly responded. He was also worried about his own life, so it would be great if he could stay with the gang leader.
While talking, Zhu Zhen came to the door of the ruined temple and saw Shen Liben, dressed in a scarlet robe, standing there shivering.
"Hey, what do you do?" Lao Liu asked, pretending not to recognize him.
"Back to Your Highness, I will send you the official Zhongshu to the Provincial Ministry of Punishments, Shen Liben." Shen Liben hurriedly stepped forward to greet me and said awkwardly: "I came to Nanchang on the emperor's order to investigate the death case of Liu Shenzheng. I heard that His Highness was here in person, so I hurriedly came to see you. "
"Oh, that's it. So you are that Shen Liben." Lao Liu suddenly said: "I've heard, I've heard, this is not a place to talk. Should we go to my place or your place?"
As he spoke, he pretended to be embarrassed and smiled: "Let's go to your place. I live in an inn and cannot entertain the imperial envoys."
"Your Highness is joking. It was originally a private visit incognito. Now that I have revealed my identity, I will of course give up the carriage to Your Highness. I am going to stay at the inn." Shen Liben said with a smile.
"That's not good." Lao Liu gave a few concessions and happily agreed, so the group headed for Shen Liben's... oh no, His Royal Highness the Imperial Envoy of King Chu.
~~
After arriving at the place, although Lao Liu was not a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, he was still shocked by the luxury inside.
It was truly a magnificent palace with jade buildings, flying pavilions and flowing elixirs, and jade railings. It was magnificent and magnificent. It was much more luxurious than their minimalist palace.
It just seems to have a strong club atmosphere, and I don’t know if it’s a sour grapes mentality.
"Master Shen, Master Lao, Master Imperial Envoy." Lao Liu changed the names with a smile, which made Shen Liben's heart tighten. "Your conditions are indeed much better than those of me."
In this era, adults are always connected to their parents, so-called father and mother. There is no one who calls Shangguan "adult". So these are Xiong Qitai's most flattering terms for him.
Now what he said from His Highness's mouth was not only teasing, but also telling him that he was very aware of what was going on between them.
"Oh, these are all names that the shameless Xiong Qitai came up with," Shen Liben said sarcastically: "The official told him many times not to be so disgusting, but he just didn't listen. It turned out that he was a thief with a guilty conscience. The official is drinking the ecstasy soup."
"Then besides drinking a lot of ecstasy soup, what else do you get?" As they entered the main hall, King Chu sat down on the main seat and asked calmly.
"Ashamed, I have been here for a short period of time and have not achieved anything yet." Shen Liben stood in the hall and said with admiration: "Your Highness is still wise and powerful, and can distinguish between loyal and traitorous. He immediately saw through Xiong Qitai's true face and found out Kill the murderer of Liu Shenzheng!"
"Hahaha, I am indeed a little smarter than you." Lao Liu slapped him and said: "By the way, do you know why Xiong Qitai killed Liu Lian?"
"I don't know." Shen Liben shook his head: "Xiaoguan is also puzzled. What does he think? Isn't this a way to seek death when he is tired of living?"
"But I know one thing or two, that is, Liu Lian has something in his hands that can kill him." Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice:
"Liu Lian ordered my two guards to take him to the capital. The spies planted by Xiong Qitai learned about it. Then he took the risk and killed Liu Lian. At the same time, he also sent people disguised as local gangsters to intercept and kill me. Two of the king's bodyguards."
"Ah? Is there such a thing?" Shen Liben looked horrified, but it wasn't all fake. He almost peed his pants in fear.
"Yes, I can't believe it." King Chu sighed: "But he just did it. I really don't know how deadly that thing is."
"Have you... found that thing?" Shen Liben asked tentatively, holding back his pounding heartbeat.
"Fortunately, a guard escaped with that thing seriously injured and was rescued by a righteous man from the Beggar Clan. I went to the Beggar Clan today to pick up that guard." Lao Liu stared at the change in Shen Liben's expression with interest, and said evilly. Interesting:
"The person was rescued, but it was a pity that the things had been left in the water for too long."
"Is that so?" A glimmer of hope ignited in Shen Liben's heart, and his stiff expression became more lively as he said, "This is all inevitable, as long as everything is fine."
"Yes, the most important thing is that people are fine, but fortunately, things are fine too." Lao Liu changed the topic and laughed: "Because the baggage is made of sealskin, it will be fine no matter how long it is soaked in water!"
"Qiu..." Shen Liben broke through the defense on the spot, exploded violently, then braked abruptly and said: "I couldn't ask for it. I'm so lucky."
"Yes, I have always been very lucky." Lao Liu Jiejie smiled: "So, my opponent's luck is not so good."
"That's right..." Shen Liben smiled dryly and said: "The prince is very lucky. Anyone who goes against the prince will not end well."
"That's it." Lao Liu nodded, pointed at Shen Liben's forehead and said, "Hey? Why are you sweating?"
"Is Xianguan sweating?" Shen Liben touched his forehead and found that he was really sweating. He hurriedly explained: "The earth dragon is burning too hot. It's already getting warmer in February, so it should be turned off."
"Yes, February is getting warmer, and the evil spirits in Jiangxi should have come to an end." After Lao Liu had teased Shen Liben enough, he put away his smile and said, "Since Shen Butang is also an imperial envoy, let's take a look together. Then What kind of secret is it?"
After saying this, he waved and Hu Xian presented the sealskin bundle.
Zhu Zhen inspected it and found that it was intact. Hu Xian used scissors to open it along the edge and took out a letter, a memorial and a thick stack of account books, all of which were well preserved and not stained by water.
King Chu fumbled for these three things, the corners of his eyes were slightly moist, and he couldn't help but choked with sobs: "How many lives have been paid for this."
Not only the senior brother and Zhang Rong, but also the justice official who has never met before...
People's moods and anger are different, but Shen Liben stared at the pile of account books and just wanted to tear them into pieces and eat them.
It's a pity that he can only think about it. He can feel that the two guards standing behind him have been vigilantly watching his every move. They are afraid that if there is any abnormality, they will push him to the ground.
Zhu Zhen opened the letter Liu Lian wrote to him in front of Shen Liben.
'Your Highness Jun'an, seeing words is like meeting...'
The beautiful face and body of his senior brother came into his eyes. And the truth that had been covered up finally came to light...
