"Wait!"

Shen Cang stepped forward again and stopped everyone in the alley.

The chief steward rolled his eyelids, his face sank a little, and he said, "Is there anything else going on, my lord?" Although his tone was ordinary, his expression was cold.

But Shen Cang didn't have the slightest timidity, strode up, pointed to the boxes, and said, "I only saw the first one just now, let's open the rest and take a look." ”

The faces of the people in the Prince's Mansion were stained with a thin layer of anger, obviously, they were extremely dissatisfied with Shen Cang, who had come to stop him repeatedly, and the chief steward was also a little worried, and said with a smile: "These are just spices, do you still have any doubts?" After all, this is near the East Palace, so don't make too much trouble." ”

There was a hint of threat in his tone.

Shen Cang didn't take a step back, and said coldly: "Open it and take a look." ”

Not only the people of the Prince's Mansion, but also the Qinglinwei looked at each other, and they didn't quite understand why Shen Cang suddenly fell into trouble with the people of the Prince's Mansion, but after all, they were all colleagues, and Shen Cang was also kind to people in the past, and he had a good relationship with all the Qinglinwei, so no one stopped him.

The chief steward furrowed his brow impatiently, but still said, "Open it." ”

The people of the Prince's Mansion opened every box, it was still spices, there was nothing unusual, but at the moment of opening the box, the aroma suddenly came overwhelmingly, causing a group of Qinglin guards to raise their hands to cover their mouths and noses.

Without him, the aroma was too strong, even to the point of disgusting, causing the group of Qinglin guards to take a few steps back.

Obviously, the contents of the box were indeed spices.

But Shen Cang looked at the box coldly.

The chief steward also waved his hand, dispelling the rich aroma in front of him for a few points, and then said, "Your Excellency should have seen it clearly this time, right?"

Shen Cang looked at the past one by one, and the contents of each box were spices, but even if he looked at them one by one, he still felt that something was wrong, he had seen people from the mansion come back with spices in the Dongningbo Mansion in the past, but he had never seen this situation in front of him.

The aroma of these spices has overflowed.

It's not so much that the boxes contain spices, but rather that the spices are meant to cover up other things in the boxes.

Shen Cang thought so, so he stepped forward, but just as he was about to touch the box, he was stopped by the chief steward.

The chief steward frowned and said: "These spices are all precious spices given to your nobles by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you can't mess around casually, please forgive me." ”

Although he is an adult, his attitude is not friendly.

However, Shen Cang didn't care about this, and he didn't even care about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the mouth of the chief steward, he only felt that if it was an ordinary thing, there was no need to hide it so much, if it was sent in a hurry, wouldn't it be more delayed to gossip with him here?

Therefore, there must be something unsightly in these boxes, otherwise the people of the Prince's Mansion would not have to hide it like this, and they would not specially pick a small alley to walk.

But the chief steward and the people from the Prince's Mansion stopped Shen Cang and only let Shen Cang watch, but they didn't let Shen Cang get close to the box, let alone look through the contents of the box.

"What is there in this box that can't be seen?" Shen Cang finally couldn't help but ask.

The chief steward just said, "Aren't all the things in the box clear to the adults? It's just some spices, but these things are very precious, and they are meant to be sent to the nobles, and they can't be looked at at by the adults at will." ”

Shen Cang rolled his eyes: "Precious? Are these garbage also precious? I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to give away these garbage things." ”

The chief steward's face changed: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Shen Cang snorted coldly: "What else does it mean? These inferior spices, if they are placed in my house, even the servants will not use them." ”

It's the truth.

The aroma of these spices has overflowed, and although the aroma is strong, it is not pleasant, but disgusting, and it is obviously very inferior spices.

It's nonsense to say that it's something to give away or something precious.

The Qing Linwei immediately looked at each other.

Although they are all excellent guards, they are not from a family like Shen Cang, so they naturally can't see the advantages and disadvantages of these spices.

But they know Shen Cang's family history, and they also know that Shen Cang is the son of Dongning Bo's mansion, although they don't know, but Shen Cang must know, at this time, when they heard Shen Cang say this, they have a number in their hearts.

So someone said: "Brother Shen is right, the smell of this spice is really disgusting, where does it look like something precious?"

"Yes, just give it to me for free, and I don't want it. ”

Seeing that the people of Qing Linwei said this, the face of the chief steward sank, and said: "Whether the spices are precious or not, they are all things that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to give away, and they must not be turned at will." ”

Shen Cang stopped gossiping, and rushed forward directly, the chief steward's face changed, and said, "Stop him!"

The people from the Prince's Mansion stepped forward to stop Shen Cang, but Shen Cang was the person who was Qing Linwei, and his skills were naturally vigorous and agile, which was not something that the people of the Prince's Mansion could stop.

I saw Shen Cang dodge a few times, and then went to the box, and the people from the prince's mansion on the side wanted to step forward to catch Shen Cang, but Shen Cang quickly dodged and kicked on the box.

Where does Shen Cang care if these things are precious things given by the prince, just looking at these people's expressions evasive, secretive, and speaking without a preface, Shen Cang feels that the things in this box have a lot to do.

After all, the people of the Prince's Mansion deliberately chose a narrow and uninhabited alley, such a hidden place, no matter what they did, no one could see it.

Shen Cang kicked on the box.

The chief steward's face changed drastically.

But it's too late to stop it.

The box fell to the ground with a bang, and the spices in it suddenly fell to the ground, and the disgusting aroma suddenly dispersed, and there was a corpse that fell out with the spices.

A corpse that has been dead for a long time.

The corpse emitted a putrid stench, falling among the spices, and the smell of the spices permeated the air, causing many of the Qinglinwei to immediately raise their hands to cover their mouths and noses.

When they looked at the people in the Prince's Mansion, their eyes had changed.

No wonder Fang Cai has not been allowed to check it, it turns out that there is a dead person hidden in the box......

After a short silence, the Qinglin Guards took up their weapons one after another, and when they looked at the people in the Prince's Mansion again, their faces were completely different from those just now.

The chief steward no longer concealed it, and shouted, "Kill them!"

Fortunately, there is only a small team of Qing Linwei in this alley, and there are only eight people, and there are more than a dozen of them before and after, it should not be difficult to kill these eight Qing Linwei here.

The chief steward comforted himself like this, but his palms were already full of sweat, without him, the people of Qing Linwei were all one in a million, all of them were strong in martial arts, and they were by no means comparable to the guards of ordinary mansions, although they had an advantage in numbers, but whether they could fight with Qing Linwei was still a few.

But at this point, the corpses in the box have all fallen out, and presumably the people of Qing Linwei will never let them go, and there is no other way than to kill them all.

Qing Linwei's people naturally wouldn't sit still, and the moment the chief steward spoke, they had already rushed forward with the swords in their hands.

Bringeling is inevitable.

However, the actual battle situation is not complicated, it is completely one-sided, I saw that the Qing Linwei were holding weapons in their hands, they could fight against the crowd, and they were even at ease, their movements were agile, and they were not half childish.

The people of the Prince's Mansion were defeated one after another.

And the battle ended very quickly, but in a moment, the Qing Linwei had already subdued the people of the Prince's Mansion one by one.

It's just a cup of tea.

Shen Cang raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Stay alive, don't kill people, take them back for interrogation!"

Fang had just fought with the people of the Prince's Mansion, but Shen Cang had a long breath, without the slightest fatigue after the battle, and his body was also clean, not to mention the wounds, even the dust was not stained.

Obviously, today's Shen Cang is completely different from the beginning.

Merely......

Shen Cang clenched his fingers slightly.

He also has an obsession.

That is, it must be better than Yunwang.

However, it was not the time to think about these things now, so Shen Cang left these thoughts behind.

Although Jiang Xuyue's lost jewelry was not found, it was a great achievement to capture these people in front of him.

The Qinglin guards were naturally overjoyed.

The chief steward was tied with ropes by the Qinglin guards, his face was already a color of earth, and the matter had been revealed, so there must be no possibility of survival.

Shen Cang and the others captured the people of the Prince's Mansion and marched all the way towards the palace.

......

In the Qianqing Palace.

When Prince Mingcheng walked in, he saw Shen Cang and the others on the Qianqing Hall with the chief steward of the Prince's Mansion, his complexion changed slightly, but he immediately regained a clear color.

He strode in and said, "My son's son greets my father." ”

Then, he looked at the people in the hall and asked, "I don't know why my father summoned his sons and ministers?"

Mingjin's face was pale, and he couldn't see his joy or anger: "Jiang Lin, you come on." ”

Jiang Lin is now the commander-in-chief of Qinglinwei, and all the matters of Qinglinwei are under the command of Jiang Lin, and it was Shen Cang who took the people from the prince's mansion to report to Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin stepped forward and said: "Yes, the subordinate Ben Ming Qing Linwei and others are patrolling in Beijing, and the patrol range of Shen Cang's team and others is near the East Palace, and when they walked to Tongshuang Alley, they met the people of the Prince's Mansion, and the people of the Prince's Mansion carried four boxes and marched, saying that they were giving spices to others, but the boxes contained not any spices, but several decaying corpses!"

Jiang Lin told everything that had happened before.

He was not present at the time, and these things were all said by Shen Cang when he reported to him.

When Ming Cheng heard this, he was taken aback: "What?"

As he spoke, he turned to look at the chief steward who was kneeling on the ground and was bound, with a look of surprise and consternation, as if he had no idea of it.

Ming Jin asked, "He's the steward of your house, right?"

Ming Cheng did not deny it, nodded calmly, and said, "Yes, it's just that Erchen doesn't know about this matter at all. ”

The chief steward struggled to look at Ming Cheng and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, save the minions-"

Ming Cheng's face turned cold, interrupted the rest of his words, and said coldly: "I really can't imagine that you have followed me for so many years to do such a thing behind my back." ”

"Your Highness, this matter is—"

Ming Cheng's face was cold, and he intercepted: "Your wife and daughter's family are still in the East Palace, if you don't want to implicate them, make this matter clear." ”

When he heard the words "wife and daughter's family", the muscles on the steward's face twitched, and his face turned extremely pale all of a sudden, this matter was clearly ordered by the prince to do, and now he went to threaten him with his wife and daughter's family, which was nothing more than telling him that if he dared to shake this matter out, his wife and daughter's family would definitely suffer.

After a brief struggle, the chief steward lowered his head and said, "This matter...... The minions don't know. ”

Hearing this, an imperceptible smile appeared on Ming Cheng's face.

Ming Jin frowned and said, "Who are the corpses in those boxes?"

Ming Cheng shook his head, frank and innocent: "Erchen doesn't know. ”

After he said that, he looked at the chief steward, and his tone was stiff and indifferent: "You still haven't made it clear?"

The chief steward gritted his teeth.

Although this matter was ordered by Ming Cheng, he couldn't say it, he had followed Ming Cheng for so many years, so he naturally knew that even if he said it, it would be a dead word, and it would also affect his wife and daughter's family, if he didn't say it, although he would die here, at least he could save his family's lives.

Mingjin's gaze also swept over.

Shen Cang suddenly said in a loud voice: "He is making so many things in the prince's mansion alone, doesn't His Royal Highness the prince even know about it at all?"

Jiang Lin reprimanded: "On the Qianqing Palace, don't talk nonsense!" Although it was a reprimand, there was no anger in his tone, but a little concern.

Although this matter is suspicious, it is not something they can manage, Shen Cang suddenly said something like this, which will naturally make Ming Cheng resentful, Jiang Lin admires Shen Cang very much, and does not want Shen Cang to lose his future because of this.

Shen Cang immediately said: "It's a subordinate who lost his words." ”

Ming Cheng was not annoyed, but looked at Shen Cang, and Wen Yan explained: "The affairs of the Prince's Mansion are all taken care of by others, and I don't do everything myself, so it is inevitable that people with intentions will take advantage of the loopholes, if it weren't for you catching these dissident people for me, I don't know what would have happened." ”

After that, Ming Cheng looked at the chief steward with cold eyes: "You still haven't explained it clearly!" The previous moment he still explained softly, but the next moment he spoke sharply, and the changes before and after were so fast that Shen Cang was surprised.

The chief steward bit his lip and said, "The slave's family ......"

Ming Cheng said coldly: "They are all in the East Palace now, if you don't make it clear-"

"Please also ask the prince to spare the slave's family life. The Archsteward took a deep breath as if he had suddenly made a decision, and then turned his head and slammed it against the pillar.

Shen Cang's face changed.

And the chief steward had already hit the pillar, and blood flowed down his forehead, staining his clothes with blood, and then leaving a trail of blood in the Qianqing Palace.
