Mr. Shen has recalled those scenes many times, and as long as Wu Sheng appears in his mind, he will inevitably feel agitated.
Mr. Shen took a long breath again.
His brief encounter with Wu Sheng was something he would never forget in his life. People who have not had the same experience would not understand that at critical moments, they tested each other and ultimately trusted each other decisively with their lives.
If someone asked him who his best friend in his life was, he would say Wu Sheng. Although they only exchanged a few words with each other, they became his biggest pillar of support in moving forward.
Some people can't get to know each other after being together for decades, and some people become close friends just by meeting each other. He didn't know what Wu Sheng had done before, but he saw how Wu Sheng died.
He admired Wu Sheng. With such a person in front, he had nothing to fear.
Wu Sheng told the palace officials to send the news to Anfu Temple Alley.
Afterwards, there was a huge upheaval in the palace. Prince Wei was killed, and all the palace servants who had served Prince Wei were arrested and interrogated. He used to work in the prince's office, so naturally he was among them. Fortunately, he was cautious in his work on weekdays, and there was no suspicion or reason. Therefore,
Escaped.
When he was released again, he learned that Prince Wei's family had been executed by the court, and many officials were implicated. Killings were committed every day in Beijing, but such non-stop killings still made the prison overcrowded.
This was not a counter-rebellion, but a conspiracy planned by Emperor Zhongzong in order to stabilize his position and authority. The death of King Wei could frighten the royal family members and prevent them from having any arrogance.
Mr. Shen didn't know if the message he sent out was of any use. Wu Sheng and the Beijing Guards paid for it with their lives, and he had always been worried about it.
After the situation calmed down, he sent someone to Anfuji Alley. The family to whom the palace man had sent the letter was no longer there.
The reason why he had hope in his heart was that the family who received their news was not arrested by the court, and they left the capital on their own.
There are two possibilities for leaving on his own. One is that he was frightened after hearing the news and left with his wife and children, ignoring the current matter. The other was that he tried every means to rescue the Prince of Wei, but was afraid of being traced afterwards, so he hid his traces.
Mr. Shen hoped that it would be the latter. People Wu Sheng could trust would not run away from the battlefield. These people may not be heroes, but they all know loyalty.
Only when you have faith can you be called a human being. It has nothing to do with wealth or status. Since you are living in the world, you must live like a human being. This is decent.
He has been waiting patiently and quietly for fourteen years. What is the result? Seeing that time is running out, he becomes really anxious. After his death, if he sees Wu Sheng, what will he do with Wu Sheng?
explain?
After hearing that Prince An might have bloodline and still be alive, he couldn't hold back even more. Maybe those people didn't rescue Prince Wei's Mansion, but found Prince An's bloodline and came back for revenge?
Unable to suppress his desire to know the truth, he ordered the steward to go to the prison to check.
"It's all my fault," Master Shen said in a hoarse voice, "I shouldn't have asked you to inquire about the news. This wouldn't have happened."
The steward said, "I was careless and didn't notice that I was being targeted." He thought carefully, "Sir, what kind of person do you think Prince Jian is?"
Through Wei E, they learned that King Jian was not the idle prince he seemed. Although Wei E had collected the corpses, Wei E would not have been able to do those things without King Jian's protection.
Wei E was arrested, and Princess Jian made a big fuss in Zhuangzi, forcing King Jian to come forward. It seems that because of the case of King An and King Wei, he had to be cautious.
Many of the people Wei E buried were slaves who had made mistakes in the palace. As usual, these slaves would be thrown into mass graves after their death. King Jian allowed Wei E to do this because he had doubts about the emperor's actions.
Regarding the matter of Prince An's heir, King Jian asked Wei E to take the risk to interrogate him. He was also thinking about Prince An. He didn't know if Prince Jian wanted to clear the matter for Prince Wei. Master Shen's heart was beating wildly, and he always felt that there was hope again.
He may have someone he can entrust with the family fortune he has accumulated over the years.
These family assets are not only money, but also ears, eyes and eyes, which can come in handy at critical moments.
"Wait a moment, don't be impatient." Mr. Shen comforted himself. This was very important. He couldn't be impulsive or slack at all, and couldn't make a decision casually. If he wasn't careful, all the lives of those people would be ruined.
I hope God will give him some more time to see it carefully.
…
Inside Prince Jian's Mansion.
King Jian had just come out of the palace. The emperor did not call him for questioning, but just made him kneel outside the door for more than an hour. When he got up, his legs and feet were so numb that he could hardly stand.
Princess Jian carefully beat King Jian's knee with a bag of salt. At this time, she was full of regret: "It's all my fault. Before I figured it out..." Princess Jian was very ashamed of her recklessness.
"What does it have to do with you," King Jian sighed, "I hid it from you... I told you during the Rong Xiao case that I would let you know everything in the future, alas... it's just this one..."
King Jian did not continue speaking. He looked at the lights not far away: "Before he left, my father told me not to be reckless, but I can't just watch and ignore them. But whether it is Zhongzong or the current emperor,
You are very smart in these places, I can't be careful, knowing that these are not beneficial to you."
Princess Jian pursed her lips: "I understand now."
"Don't blame Xu Qinghuan," Wang Jian said. "She also wanted to investigate the case and find the person behind Huijing. If it were me, I would do the same."
Princess Jian said: "It's not like the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple and failed to find those people on their heads. Instead, it destroyed the prince. The emperor wanted to give some deterrence... Does the emperor want the prince to enter the palace tomorrow?"
King Jian nodded.
Princess Jian's eyes suddenly turned red: "It's so cold in winter, so I'll go and make a pair of thicker kneepads for the prince."
King Jian whispered: "You go ahead, I have something else to tell the steward to do."
Princess Jian stood up and left, and the steward immediately came forward.
"Let them leave the capital early tomorrow morning," King Jian said. "If the court really finds out, I can't protect them. When something happened to King Wei, I managed to cover their tracks with great difficulty. Although there has been no movement in these years, there is still no trace of them."
Can't relax."
The steward responded.
King Jian let out a long sigh: "I hope it goes well and no more lives are lost."
…
Xu family.
Xu Qinghuan was fiddling with the charcoal fire in the stove. A pot of hot water was quickly boiled, and the chestnuts beside the stove were roasted until they opened and emitted a burst of fragrance.
Wherever the chicks pass by, there is bound to be something to eat, but roasted chestnuts with tea are not bad either.
Xu Qinghuan made a cup of tea, brought it to Song Chengxuan, raised her face and looked at him: "Want to eat chestnuts? I'll peel them for you."
Xu Qing'an, who was squatting outside, listened carefully to the sounds in the room, and his stomach couldn't help but growl. When his sister and Song Chengxuan were alone together, it would never be as simple as drinking a cup of tea and eating chestnuts, but he seemed to have learned something.
If he saw Sister Zhen in time, he would also say to Sister Zhen: "He is hungry and thirsty." Sister Zhen might take him into the house.
Xu Qingan couldn't help but frown, this black-faced man really had some tricks up his sleeve.
