Shen Congyun was shocked, since the "cheating case" on the Wanshou Festival, a group of friends in the past have avoided it, but at this time, someone took the initiative to come to the door, and also proposed to see the second miss, which is really elusive. asked Su Yichen if she knew who was coming, Su Yichen also shook her head and replied that she had not been in the capital for a long time, and she stayed in the house most of the time, and she didn't know many people.
Uncle Shen brought the person to the study, only to see that he was tall, covered with a very wide black cloak with a hat, and covered his whole body in the cloak with his head down, and after Uncle Shen went out, he took off the cloak and revealed a moon-white robe. Shen Congyun was stunned and said, "King Huan! ”
Su Yichen couldn't help but exclaim: "Mu Xuan? ”
Xiao Huan smiled slightly: "It's this king, don't come to the Hou Ye unharmed." Second Miss, please forgive this king for having to hide his identity from you before. ”
Su Yichen was silent, Shen Congyun invited Xiao Huan to take a seat, and asked bluntly: "The envoys of various countries have left the capital, why is King Huan still staying here?" Is this secret coming to be related to children? ”
Xiao Huan clenched his fists: "Thanks to the help of the Hou Ye in the past, this king was able to have the opportunity to return to the royal city and regain the throne." Coming here today, in addition to thanking him in person, it is indeed related to the case of General Shen Xiao's post house, but this king does not have many clues, and I don't know if it can help Hou Ye. ”
Shen Congyun has been investigating hard for many days, and has been worried that he can't find clues, at this time Xiao Huandao has clues in his hands, he can't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for your great kindness, King Huan, please speak!" ”
Xiao Huan told the story. The night before the incident, he returned to the Sifang Post House, preparing for the early morning of the Wanshou Festival with the envoy team to enter the imperial city to congratulate Emperor Xuan, that night was no different, everyone went to bed early, the next day was not until midnight, they got up to freshen up and dress, and counted the items of the pilgrimage again, just waiting for the hour to arrive, the escort team gave an order, and set off.
The first to discover the anomaly was the Eastern Jin Dynasty envoys, who were well prepared and arrived at the door of the post house in advance to wait for the opening. According to the usual practice, the leader of the escort should take his men and horses to check the list of envoys one by one, and check the gifts carried by each envoy to prevent anyone from carrying dangerous items into the imperial city to assassinate the emperor. But the strange thing is that Shen Ningxuan was not found in the escort team, and the guards had no master, and obviously did not know the whereabouts of their leader.
Soon, there was a panic in the residence of the envoys of Yiguo, and Ma Zhongping, the deputy leader of the escort team, hurriedly led people to check, Xiao Huan's heart moved, and he also turned his head and rushed over.
The voice came from the residence of Princess Kerou, and when they arrived, there were already many people who had rushed to hear the news, including the people of the envoys of the Yi Kingdom, the envoys of other countries, and some of the guards of the Great Zhou. The door of Princess Kerou's room was wide open, and the sound of commotion continued to be heard from within. As soon as Ma Zhongping wanted to rush in to check, a panicked maid ran out of it, and he didn't have time to ask her what happened, and then Shen Ningxuan grabbed the neck of the maid with his left hand, and broke out with a sword in his right hand, he was disheveled, his hair was messy, and his face was frightened and uneasy.
This is Princess Kerou's room, Shen Ningxuan came out of it early in the morning in disheveled clothes, anyone can think of what happened, and many people have a look of watching a good show on their faces. Ma Zhongping reminded sharply: "General Shen, what are you doing, don't let her go quickly!" ”
Shen Ningxuan's whole person was very excited, choked Ju'er's neck, waved the sword in his hand like crazy, and didn't let anyone approach: "Trap, this is a trap, you frame me, frame the Shen family, call my father, call my father over!" ”
Ma Zhongping distracted him by talking to him, and signaled the guards to quietly outflank him left and right: "General Shen, you put down your sword, don't get excited, Ning Guohou entered the palace early in the morning to congratulate, and he won't leave the palace until evening, you put down your sword, we will discuss something slowly." ”
At this time, Lord Shi, the envoy of Yiguo, listened to the maid who had just run out tell everything that happened in the house, stood up and pointed at Shen Ningxuan's nose and scolded angrily: "Okay, you Shen Ningxuan, you secretly seduced Princess Kerou under the cover of protecting the safety of the envoys, disgraced my Yiguo, and shamed your Great Zhou Emperor, what crime should you be guilty of doing this?" ”
His words can be said to be accusing Shen Ningxuan in front of everyone, and confirming his crime, Shen Ningxuan was speechless, his emotions were already excited, but now he was even more out of control, his whole face turned red, and he pointed his sword at him and roared: "You are talking nonsense, I didn't seduce Princess Kerou, I was framed, it was you who framed me and framed the Shen family!" ”
At this time, a scream came from the room: "Oh no, come on, the princess has committed suicide!" ”
Shen Ningxuan's body shook when he heard this, and his face was like ashes in an instant, the guards saw the opportunity and rushed up, pressing him to the ground, countless cold swords crossed his neck in the blink of an eye, he closed his eyes in despair, and completely gave up resistance. Ma Zhongping ordered someone to escort him down, and then led people into the room. I saw that there was still a white silk hanging on the beam in the middle of the room, and the maid had placed Princess Kerou on the bed and sobbed quietly around her.
Lang Zhong arrived soon, but unfortunately Princess Kerou had already lost her breath, and Lang Zhong had no skills to return to the sky, so he shook his head and left. The people of the envoys of Yiguo were noisy and shouted, accusing Shen Ningxuan in unison of killing the princess and destroying the marriage between the two countries, trying to blame Shen Ningxuan for all the blame, anyway, Kerou is dead, who seduced whom, or whether the two are happy, it is no longer important, the important thing is how not to let the anger of the Great Zhou Emperor be drawn to them.
The Turkic envoys reminded that the departure time had been delayed, so it was better to go to the palace to participate in the Wanshou Festival, and the affairs of Princess Yiguo and Shen Ningxuan would be handled by Emperor Xuan, and the other envoys echoed one after another. Ma Zhongping ordered Shen Ningxuan to be imprisoned in the nearest Kyoto Prefecture, and the others immediately escorted the envoys into the palace, and he took the first step and rushed to the palace to report to the emperor what had happened in the Sifang Post House.
Shen Congyun listened to Xiao Huan explain what happened at the scene that day, and sighed: "Although Xiao'er is reckless, Ben Hou has always believed that he will not be stunned and do such an act of destroying the family and destroying the family, but he can't see Xiao'er and can't find clues. If King Huan finds something suspicious, he will also want to inform him. ”
Xiao Huan leaned over and said: "This is the purpose of coming this time, after the incident, although the king went to the palace to congratulate together, but also left reliable people to look for clues in the post house, and sure enough, there were a few suspicious places." ”
Shen Congyun asked anxiously, "What clue is it?" ”
