There is nothing they can do if they don't disappear. After all, Mr. Shen's own son is not pursuing the case, so why are they so aggressive?
After the people dispersed, Cheng Xue knelt down towards An Yi gratefully, "Thank you Mr. Shen for speaking for the people's daughter. The people's daughter is very grateful."
Both the Shen family and his son were her benefactors. Shen Yanqing saved her life, and Shen Anyi protected her reputation. Both of them were life-saving favors for her.
An Yi waved his hand, "It's okay, get up."
He really didn't take it to heart. It would be an unreasonable disaster for a young lady like Cheng Xue to be involved, and Shen Yanqing would not be dissatisfied with her not coming to visit.
The actions of the Shen family and his son were praised again in the southwest. Cheng Xiucai originally wanted to take the opportunity to present Cheng Xue, but because of Shen Yanqing's reputation, he was afraid that he would be torn apart by the people, so he finally gave up the idea and began to give Cheng Xuexiang looked at other people.
Shen Yanqing's body gradually recovered, and after half a month it was almost completely normal. Both Han Yu and An Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
The snowstorm in the southwest has almost passed, and spring is about to begin. They still want to rush back to the capital before Yingying's birthday.
But this plan was broken one night.
Shen Yanqing was assassinated!
When they heard the news, Han Yu and An Yi hurried to Shen Yanqing's room without even having time to put on their clothes.
"Master, are you okay?"
"Dad, are you okay?"
The two spoke in unison, and even their expressions were in sync.
Shen Yanqing was lying on the bed, his arm was stabbed, and he was bandaged with a white cloth.
His face had lost all color and was a little pale. Seeing the anxious looks of the two of them, he shook his head, "It's nothing, just a minor injury."
He was protected by Liu Meng, and those who assassinated him only touched his arm. This minor injury will heal in two days.
"That's good."
Shen Yanqing's accidents have happened one after another in the past few days, and An Yi's heart can't bear it anymore.
Southwest and his son were afraid of conflict, so it was best to leave as soon as the matter was resolved.
With this in mind, An Yi asked the doctor to quickly treat Shen Yanqing, and asked Liu Meng to find out who the assassins were. They were so bold as to come to the county government to carry out the assassination.
Liu Meng caught a person, who must have been a secret guard. After being caught, he bit his tongue and committed suicide. They didn't ask anything.
It's just that Liu Meng found a token on the assassin with the royal family's mark on it. Liu Meng naturally wouldn't suspect that Zhao Jing wanted to kill Shen Yanqing, so these people might be related to the late emperor's lineage, or even disappeared long ago. King Jing’s lineage.
Liu Meng and Shen Yanqing had already discussed it, but the matter was of great importance and they could not alert the enemy until it was found out, so they did not even tell An Yi and Han Yu.
At this time, on the southwest border, the lights were still on in an ordinary house late at night. Someone was hurrying to and fro in the yard, and the lights reflected his figure, like a ghost.
"Master, the mission failed."
The speaker's voice was low and full of fear, and his whole body was tense, as if he was afraid of the man in front of him.
"waste!"
The man turned around from the darkness, and saw that he was about fifty years old, with a serious face, and dressed in black, he looked low-key and mysterious.
The man became even more frightened when he opened his mouth and knelt down directly in front of him.
"It's because of the incompetence of my subordinates. There were so many guards around Shen Yanqing that we almost killed him."
Injuring Shen Yanqing's arm was to give them hope, but these people didn't know that it was just a hole deliberately left by Shen Yanqing in order to follow the clues and find the power behind them.
Zhao Yu snorted coldly, "Almost?"
Doesn't that still mean it's not finished?
All he wants is the result, "Go and get the punishment yourself!"
"yes!"
The man shuddered. His master's punishment could cost him half his life, but he did not dare to complain. After all, half his life was life, and at least he was still alive.
After the man left, Zhao Yu called other cronies.
"How is Zhao Qi in the capital?"
"When I get back to the prince, the young master has already made contact with the Protector. The two of them have gathered forces in the capital, and I'm afraid they will attack the emperor."
It turns out that this man is King Jing's son and Zhao Qi's uncle.
Zhao Qi's parents passed away early, and Zhao Qi was brought up by him, so it's not surprising that they are as close as father and son.
It's just that on the surface, the two of them are a loving father and a filial son, but privately Zhao Yu regards Zhao Qi as a competitor.
He is the only living son of King Jing, and he is the most qualified person to sit in that position.
Why did Zhao Qi, a playboy who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, rise to power? Is it because he had the imperial edict of the late emperor?
Zhao Yu was dissatisfied. He was the one who encouraged Zhao Qi to return to the capital. Otherwise, why would Zhao Qi be willing to leave the headquarters of King Jing's lineage?
"Two losers can't make any splash, so let them be."
Zhao Yu sneered and didn't take Zhao Qi seriously, but the old boy Protector of the Country was a bit interesting.
His concubine almost killed Shen Yanqing, which made Zhao Yu look at him with admiration, so when Zheng Lang escaped from the county government, he asked someone to rescue him. Zheng Lang knew many secrets of the Protector, so he left behind
He does no harm to himself.
But there was one thing that kept worrying him, and there was a flash of anger in Zhao Yu's eyes.
"Have you checked the corpses of the Liu family clearly? Were they killed by a hundred people?"
The Liu family was originally his subordinate, but they betrayed him and wanted to sell him out. How could Zhao Yu endure it and directly ordered people to kill the Liu family? However, he ordered people to be killed, and one of them was not worthy.
The little daughter of the Liu family is missing.
He had hugged that little lady, and she was usually innocent and innocent. Zhao Yu didn't believe that she could cause any trouble, but he was used to being cautious and didn't want to fall into trouble in a place like this.
A drop of cold sweat fell on the subordinate's forehead, "I checked it out, it's true that there are a hundred people."
The body was bloody and bloody, with scratches on its face, so it was impossible to see its original face, but looking at the body shape, it was obvious that it was the Liu family's young lady, so the subordinates did not suspect it.
Zhao Yu was silent and didn't say anything. The anger in his eyes was suffocating. After a long time, he waved his hand to ask his subordinates to leave.
"Keep watching and report if anything happens!"
Whether it is Shen Yanqing or Miss Liu, they are dangers that he has to guard against. He has been in hiding for more than thirty years, and he doesn't want to fail in all his achievements.
"yes."
The forces in the southwest were so treacherous that Shen Yanqing did not expect it to be so complicated.
Dayan has been stable for so many years, but obviously some people can't sit still.
Regardless of his arm injury, he sat up and wrote a secret letter for Liu Meng to send to the capital.
"It must be delivered to the emperor as soon as possible!"
The news that the suspected lineage of King Jing appeared would definitely shock the capital. Shen Yanqing felt that Zhao Jing would never have thought that King Jing's descendants were still alive.
After he finished writing the secret letter, he started writing letters home again.
Jiang Miao already knew that he was in danger. Just thinking that his wife would be worried made Shen Yanqing's heart clench and he wished he could return to the capital immediately.
