Chen Shaojun sat peacefully in the carriage, closing his eyes and concentrating. In his ears, Hong Lian's concerned voice kept coming.
When Chen Shaojun stepped out of the palace gate, Chen Shaojun immediately saw the figures of Jiang Bo and Hong Lian. When they saw him, Hong Lian had been talking about it. Until now, Hong Lian's worried voice had not stopped.
Pass.
"Master, do you know how worried Uncle Jiang and I are? When slave Chenshi saw the silver coins left on the table, she thought you were going to abandon us."
When the voice outside the carriage said the last sentence, Honglian suddenly opened the curtain and said fiercely to Chen Shaojun. Although she looked fierce, when Chen Shaojun saw her reddish eyes, a thought passed through his heart.
Nuanliu said calmly:
"I made you worry."
Seeing Chen Shaojun's indifferent smile and tepid look, Hong Lian was so angry that she could only snort angrily, put down the car curtain, and continued to complain to Jiang Bo.
Chen Shaojun smiled indifferently and turned to look out the window. In the distance, the imperial city was getting farther and farther away, and Chen Shaojun's heart gradually calmed down.
This incident was not as simple as imagined. Just the appearance of the devil gave Chen Shaojun a troublesome feeling, not to mention that it also involved a dispute between the princes.
And when the second prince finally appeared, it was obvious that he had bad intentions.
When you reject him, you are completely offending him!
"The water in the palace is really turbid."
Chen Shaojun sighed softly, retracted his gaze towards the palace, knocked on the car door, and said:
"Uncle Jiang, turn right and walk around the street."
"Master, you are already weak and you have just come out of the palace. Why don't you go back to your house to rest?"
Hearing this, Honglian couldn't help but open the car curtain again, and said doubtfully, with a hint of worry in her voice.
Chen Shaojun did not explain, and an enigmatic smile appeared on his face. When he received no answer, Honglian pouted and lowered the curtain. The carriage changed direction and drove in a completely different direction from the Chen residence.
…
There were few stars in the moon, and in the quiet moonlight, the bright moonlight illuminated everything in the capital clearly.
But there was a faint smell of danger flowing in the night.
"call out!"
Suddenly, a gust of wind broke the silence of the night. Looking faintly, a black shadow flashed across the sky.
Even if the moonlight is clear, only a black shadow can be seen, sneaking along the shadow of the street, as if time is out of order, and its shape cannot be captured at all. The black shadow stopped at the root of a courtyard wall, Rabbit
The falcon flew up and down, and with just one move, it disappeared into the courtyard and disappeared without a trace.
Poof, almost at the same time, all the bright lights in the entire Chen family mansion were extinguished.
And in the distance, squeak, with the sound of a window closing, a tall figure stood in front of the window, retracting its gaze towards the courtyard.
"Tonight, we will rest in this inn."
Chen Shaojun said to Jiang Bo and Honglian behind him without looking back.
"what is that?"
Honglian stood behind, looking around on tiptoes, curiously. She also saw the black shadow, but its speed was too fast. She only saw it stop at the outer wall of Chen's courtyard, and then suddenly disappeared.
.
"Don't talk too much if you shouldn't ask."
Uncle Jiang, who had been silent all this time, also spoke at this time. His brows were furrowed, and there was a trace of deep worry in his eyes.
After coming out of the palace, he had a faint feeling that everything seemed a little different. Treating the crown prince would of course save the master and the young master, but he would also be involved in the dispute between the princes. There was never any substantive involvement, and
It became completely relevant. The water in the palace was bottomless and could eat people without spitting out their bones. If the young master got into trouble because of this, he really didn't know how to explain it to the master.
"Uncle Jiang, don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion."
Chen Shaojun comforted him.
He could see Uncle Jiang's worries. Everything in front of him was only temporary. As long as the crown prince woke up and his father and elder brother came back, nothing would be a problem.
Chen Shaojun's eyes were deep and he looked into the distance without saying a word for a long time.
After a sleepless night, neither Chen Shaojun, Hong Lian, nor Jiang Bo felt sleepy at all.
After daybreak, when the streets were crowded with pedestrians and there was no danger, Chen Shaojun quietly returned to the Chen Mansion.
Everything in the Chen family was as normal, as if nothing had happened. Only the wicks that had been cut off by their roots revealed some abnormalities.
But when Chen Shaojun returned to his bedroom, he was stunned.
Chen Shaojun's bedroom was in a mess. The quilt on the bed was cut into pieces with sharp tools, and pieces of rags were scattered all over the room. The tables, chairs, coffee tables, and even the bed were also chopped into several pieces, but Chen Shaojun didn't care about these.
What really concerned him was the lifeless corpses lying on the ground in splatters of blood.
These people were covered with black scarves and were wearing night clothes. They were obviously the same group of people who sneaked into Chen's house last night.
"How is this going?"
Seeing this scene, even though Chen Shaojun had expected it, he couldn't help but be stunned.
His father and eldest brother were arrested, leaving only him, Jiang Bo, and Honglian, three old and weak women and children in the entire Chen family. Under normal circumstances, no one could stop these people.
So how did these people die?
And looking at the injuries on these people, all of them were hit by vital blows and killed with one blow. They are obviously very powerful top masters, but where can there be such a master in the entire Chen family?
Even though Chen Shaojun was very resourceful, he couldn't help but be stunned at this moment.
If so, then who killed him?
Chen Shaojun frowned, feeling that the whole matter was very confusing.
"These people are not weak. Who can kill them silently? Why is he helping us?"
Chen Shaojun murmured to himself.
Last night, he and Honglian were watching at the inn opposite, but even they didn't notice anything strange.
The person who took action in secret obviously had extremely high and unfathomable skills, but why did he want to help the Chen family?
"Could it be him?"
A figure flashed in Chen Shaojun's mind. He couldn't help but think of the mysterious man who left a red gold elixir on his desk. Although Chen Shaojun never saw him again, this did not mean that he left from then on.
.
"If it's really him, I'll definitely thank you very much next time we meet!"
Chen Shaojun said secretly in his heart.
"ah!"
Just as he was thinking about it, a scream came from behind him. Chen Shaojun turned his head and saw Hong Lian who had just arrived behind him with a pale face.
"Young Master, these people..."
Honglian's eyes widened and she pointed at the blood and corpses on the ground with one finger, her whole body trembling.
"Don't panic, I will handle this matter."
Chen Shaojun blinked and quickly replied.
There was a murder case in the Chen family. This matter could not be hidden. Chen Shaojun's heart moved and he quickly came up with an idea.
"Listen to me, take this token and go to Jing Zhaoyin to report to the official and tell him everything about this place."
Chen Shaojun opened his palm and handed over the Imperial Hospital token given to him by Imperial Physician Jia.
Taiyuan Hospital has a special status. Jia Qing gave him this token with the intention of letting him enter the palace to learn medical skills, but at this time it had an unexpected effect. As long as he brought this token, he would definitely attract Jing Zhaoyin's attention.
Pay attention to.
"Hong Lian, take these pieces of silver and go to Xiaxu to find a man named Jin Yilei. Give him this magic weapon. He will treat you well."
Chen Shaojun gave a series of instructions, and soon, the three masters and servants packed their baggage, divided into three groups, and left the Chen Mansion.
…
However, Chen Shaojun did not leave directly, but went to another place.
"Now we can only hope that Jing Zhaoyin's intervention can temporarily deter these people."
Chen Shaojun said secretly in his heart, feeling slightly worried.
If the opponent can assassinate him once, he will assassinate him a second time and a third time. Chen Shaojun only hopes that Jing Zhaoyin's large-scale search will make the opponent have some scruples and not act again in a short time.
"I can't stay at home anymore, I have to disappear for a while."
Chen Shaojun's heart was filled with confusion and he thought to himself.
These people are here for him. As long as he disappears, Jiang Bo and Honglian will not be implicated. This is what Chen Shaojun is most concerned about at the moment.
Moreover, Chen Shaojun's current martial arts has reached a bottleneck, and he just needs a place to concentrate on practicing and further improve.
"Maybe I can go there and stay for a while to avoid the limelight for a while."
Chen Shaojun thought of a place, had an idea in his mind, and soon headed northeast of the capital.
And just after he left, horseshoes formed and a large number of officers and soldiers suddenly surrounded the entire Chen family.
Chen Shaojun's Imperial Hospital token played a huge role. As expected, this matter received great attention. Jing Zhaoyin actually led a team to appear here in person.
Jing Zhaoyin has always been angry that there is such a treacherous trick at the feet of the emperor, not to mention that it involves the royal family.
It is conceivable that there will be big changes next, but what happens next has nothing to do with Chen Shaojun.
…
Northeast of the capital, there stands an antique temple, with blue bricks and green tiles, and cornices and brackets. It is obviously very old.
In front of the temple, a statue of Confucius, which is more than four people tall, shows the unique status of this temple.
Confucian Temple!
This is a place where literati and students of the Shang Dynasty studied. It was donated by the imperial court and guided by Confucian great scholars and great scholars. If you look at it in detail, its history can even be traced back to the previous dynasty, which has a history of more than a thousand years.
The Confucian Temple has a special status. It is far away from the bustling city. Apart from scholars, there are very few pedestrians.
This is not only a rule set by the imperial court, but also a kind of respect for the Confucian Temple by big businessmen.
Outside the Confucian Temple, a carriage stopped. Chen Shaojun opened the door and walked out.
"This is it. In the next few days, we will have to rely on the Confucian Temple for shelter."
